I am only kind of skim reading this thread as I haven't actually read Words Like Coins or some of the other short stories so don't want to get major spoilers!
Anyhoo, this doesn't really fit anywhere else that I can see - we don't have a thread on 'religion' do we?
I thought this may have been mentioned elsewhere already but I can't find it. I was just wondering if Eda and El of the Six Duchies came from Cariandra the Fecund and Sessicaria the dragon (in the frieze at Kelsingra)? Eda is the deity for farming, and El is deity for the sea, which doesn't strictly relate to dragons but certainly they have a close link to the sea as being required for the continuation of their life cycle.
This would be a dragon link to El...? I doubt that 'current day' El is thought of as a dragon (surely it would have been mentioned somewhere?) but he may have been originally...
