Obloquy - I have a question about your post in reference to the Eagles and their offspring. I did read the quote from the later portion of the essay stating that the Eagles have no fea, but in regards to what you said about mating, I just wonder...:

Quote:
...could -- or would -- a Maia in eagle form mate with a true eagle? Even if it was possible, wouldn't it likely violate some major axan? Then, if it was done, would the sentient spirit of the Maia be able to pass that sentience on to progeny that was produced by two beast hröar?
If a Maia did take eagle form, couldn't they mate with a true eagle and produce offspring? Wouldn't it be along the same lines as Ungoliant producing offspring like Shelob? I believe it says somewhere that she mated with other spiders and then devoured them.

Perhaps I misread your post there, I got a bit lost between who was quoting who and actually saying what. [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img] Let me know your thoughts. Thanks!
