As is now mine, from ages ago [it seems].

I argued _then_ that anything other than what would be an equivalent of a Tale of Years [or truncated Annals if you like] is the ONLY thing that would approach 'canon'.

But... the project [rightly I think] decided to create a 'Revised' Sil [an animal of a different species]. I'm not sure when the 'canon' Sil issue crept back in, but it's a nasty monster --- who will bite you deeply if you look at it too closely.
