Alga:
Sometime back (archives taking forever to come up for me) you suggested that the "action" of Long Sun can be attributed largely to one non-divine character. I'm rereading LS again, and I now want to know who your candidate for mastermind is. I can think of two possibilities, one unlikely, the other also hard to defend as the choice: Pike (!?) and Quetzal.
Care to reveal your hypothesis?
