@Fulminato:

I was jokingly describing the Six-Day War, which is the best modern example of a war that is little and preemptive against immediately anticipated aggression. It may not be as well known in Europe as it is in the US because of less public sympathy for Israel.

I'm not sure that Xerces using the third person plural to describe the Zirantian is actually conveying the information that there is a group of persons involved, because "they/themselves" are also used for single persons of unspecified gender. (This is one of those cases where even a linguistic bigot like me thinks the English language is dumb for not having more specific pronouns for both cases.) Xerces may just be refusing to use a specific he/she to avoid giving Simon information that could help identify the Zirantian. That said, if it isn't Antiala and it isn't a single person, Allue and Alluon are a good guess.

@Harlan

The one that chose mortality was specified as being a female Givini sage, so I don't think that Hester fits the bill on that. I agree with Fulminato that Wynn is not a candidate, and I don't really see the Potion Hermit as one either.
