Margaret Weis and Don Perrin and others added greatly too it. I assume the 1st novel was all Weis, and you can definitely tell the difference if you are looking for them. I have heard Mr. Elmore speak of his original ideas, and not using the races in the same old ways were a part of that. As for Dwarves being too small to be good horsemen, have you ever seen a child ride a horse? I have, they have no problems whatsoever if they are experienced and the horse is well trained. Yes dwarves are heavier, but since when has a few more pounds mattered to a horse? I mean, if they can carry Hoss Cartwright, they can carry a Dwarf, right? One thing that Sov Stone shares with Dragonlance is the concept of enormous armies of hideous Taan (draconians) living and training for years and decades without anyone knowing. I mean, give me a break, someone has to see something eventually, you know?</p></blockquote><p></p>
