On a slightly more serious note, another connection came to light during my
research...
In the profiles of the Greater Dragons within Earthdawn, there is one residing
in the Dragon Mountains (the Caucauses) by the name of Mountainshadow. He has
a human minion which occasionally visits the neighboring settlements. His
name?
Darktooth
Which, as any student of the German language shall tell you, is the direct
translation of Dunkelzahn.
There was also the incident described of when a bold traveller decided to seek
an uninvited audience with Mountainshadow by following Darktooth into the
mountain passes. If I remember correctly, is corpse was found later...(or not
at all...it has been a while)...
So, is Dunkelzahn merely appropriating the name of his earlier human form's
assumed identity?
