"How many ancients can dance on the head of a pin?"
Bertil writes: "That depends on if the pin is made of monadium, and on how
many ancients there are left that are able to dance, and on if the coyns
say that dancing is a good idea."
WRONG! The Droyne use coyns. The ancients didn't use them. They are a
recent development, handed out to the Droyne by Grandfather long after
the ancients died out.
And what makes you so sure the Droyne are the ancients? Who says so?
GDW? Yeah, they also printed Fighting Ships of the Shattered Imperium!

Actually, I think it was a BIG mistake to say that the Droyne are the
ancients. The explanation took all the mystery out of it. Now when
players come accross an ancient artifact, they just say "Oh it's some
old Droyne stuff."
The introduction of the Primordials is an interesting idea to try to regain
the mystery. But they gave an expalanation already, so there's no
mystery. Besides, who cares about a bunch of dead heads who died of
boredom anyway!!!!
