    At the risk of derailing (or detouring, not sure which), I have a question about these guys. Why are the Rothlyt Pelicans on the opposite side of the (accessible portion of the) map from where the Rothlyt Sound is?

    I feel like there's probably some text somewhere explaining how they were transported over by sailors way back when and took over the area due to lack of predators or some such, but I haven't seen it. . .

    OH, SON OF A B[kupo!]CH.

    That's where the names come from. They're just called different things by the locals. <takes off darksteelfoil hat, puts on sugarloaf duncecap>

    La Noscea: Pelicans
    The Black Shroud: Ziz
    Thanalan: Axe Beaks

    They're all Ziz - Orophin was right about the fact that their attacks are different. That's all the color palette marks.

    Well that marks Ziz off our list <Victory Fanfare> ...back to the birds, I guess...

    That said I have no what's up with Rothlyt Pelicans. Maybe they eat Rothlyt Oysters, which are mostly fished up in La Noscea... despite the biggest, best ones coming from Rothlyt Sound on the other side of the continent? Hm...
