SPOILER SPACE BELOW:



























that should do it. speaking of our draconic friends back in the forth
world, there is one very big Earthdawn plot line that never really
made it into Shadowrun (afaik): Aardelea.

doe anyone know if she was ever intended to show up in Shadowrun
and/or what her role would be? just curious.

Well, she was given the "gift" to breed with drakes (normally they are created
by dragons using exhausting rituals), and since drakes survived
during the low-cycle mana and reappeared in SR without being summoned by dragons (read the
Dragon Heart trilogy) but as a race, whom metatype is
not yet able to express due to the low-mana level, we can assume that Aardelea is the
ancestor of Ryan Mercury, Scales and the other one... I do
not think she was immortal.
