[edit] Tortaalik's Child

It is highly unlikely that the child survived the disaster or, if it did, that it further survived the Interregnum. The Lords of Judgement, you will recall, mention that only two Phoenix survive, both of them female; this refers to Zerika and Illista. --MrNexx 03:26, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

True enough. However, the passage in question is clouded by several possible explanations. 1)The discussion of the gods quoted was the work of Paarfi, who was not actually there to observe, and by his own admission is not verifiable. 2) The gods in this discussion may not know that the child survived. (Many of them did not seem to know about Illista, after all) 3) Or perhaps the goddess making the statement was deliberately lying to hide the existence of said child from the other gods. She has been known to bend the truth from time to time, after all. --Majikjon 04:39, 11 December 2007 (UTC)
