General References

 

'The fangs and claws of D'ivers and Soletaken bred a singularly virulent sickness, often culminating in hallucinations, bestial madness, then death. For many who survived, the madness remained, reappearing on a regular basis for one or two nights nine or ten times each year. It was a madness often chracterized by murder.'

DG, UK MMPB, p.146

 

"The historian saw a swarming cloud approach Bult from behind and shouted a warning. The Wickan whirled, long-knives in his hands. He screamed as the first of the wasps stung.

....

Rats scampered over the soft ground, shrilly screaming as they attacked a writhing bundle of snakes.

 

The historian felt heat on his legs, looked down. Fire ants swarmed up his thighs."

DG, UK mmpb, p.181

 

"Not poison. More like an infecting warren. I can deal with this Duiker. As with your legs."

DG, UK mmpb, p.183

 

'Is there a blending between shapeshifting and Elder Tellann? Unknown. Perhaps the D'ivers and Soletaken are simply passing through the warren - imagining it unoccupied by T'lan Imass and therefore safer. Indeed, no T'lan Imass to take umbrage with the trespass, leaving them with only each other to battle.'

DG, UK MMPB, p.183

 

'There were some D'ivers that he (Fiddler) feared more than others. Beasts are one thing, but insects...'

DG, UK MMPB, p.776

 

'a sudden sleet of ice-cold water from above, the savage opening of a warren. Emerging from within that hovering, strangely suspended spray...the enormous head and maw of a dhenrabi lunged into view, wreathed in uprooted sea grasses, kelp and strange, skeletal branches...Three more dhenrabi appeared from that torrential portal. The roiling spume of water seemed to burn off wherever it descended...yet the creatures remained suspended, riding the hissing maelstrom.'

DG, UK MMPB, p.781

 
'A swarm like no other. Bloodflies, in a solid black cloud the size of a thunderhead, billowing, surging...'

DG, UK MMPB, p.782
