comment How to handle initiative while keeping the spotlight on a duel within a larger combat?
Have you read over 7th Sea's initiative rules yet? If so, where are they falling short? It would seem reasonable to switch perspectives every round, with phases/panache giving faster characters more actions per time period.

comment Can a Pyeryem Mage Talk to a Black/Porte Wolf?
@CatLord The wolves have a reasonable Wits score (2), and basic tactics (attack from behind). This suggests they're at least as intelligent as an extremely simple animal, such as a lizard. Personally, I'd also allow Pyeryem mages to speak with them, but twist their motivation enough to make compromise difficult. On the other hand, you could get a lot of mileage out of the "Porte has robbed them of everything, including their voices" angle. Particularly given the antipathy between Porte and Pyeryem.

comment What is the history and significance of the “dire” prefix to creatures?
Well, "dire wolves" is the common name for an extinct species of wolf. The term shows up in Google Ngram all the way back to the 1850s. But bears, etc.? I've been looking for a citation, but haven't found one older than thirteen years ago.

Thank you for the list and the links. It figures that the one I'm after is in the super rare and expensive book :-P
