Icewing is not Dunkelzahn. Mountainshadow is Dunkelzahn, as evidenced by
personality, outlook, and, well.... MountainShadow's "human servant" (who
is obviously MS himself in human form) is called DarkTooth.
DarkTooth in German is Dunkelzahn.

Lofwyr does not appear in ED: his brother, Alamaise, is the former ruler
of Blood Wood.

Very true, and a crying shame, too.
An almost-definitive cross-reference of ED and SR can be found on Max
Rible's page, at http://www.amurgsval.org/shadowrun/earthdawn.html and
http://www.amurgsval.org/shadowrun/GreatDragons.html.

P.S. That, I think, is the difference between Dowd's "style" and
Mulvihill's. Dowd may have gone overboard with it -- in fact, he did --
but the link to Earthdawn gave players the sense that there was something
more out there, something cleaner and purer than the grim realities of
running. A sense of history, if you will, and a sense that there were
always mysteries left in the world to uncover. I haven't -- so far! --
seen much of that in Mulvihill's work. Who knows, maybe he'll manage to
come up with something just as good.
