Me, ~1/5 into the book: Wait, so she looks like a fly, but she can summon fire. What the hell is she supposed to be?

Oh. A firefly.

Really, Adrian? D:

God I love these books.

Firefly-kinden we're already mentioned friend. Check the Dramtis Personae. Gaff or Graff, I think. Sorry, the names are very similar, but ones of those characters are indeed a Firefly-kinden.

He was the one of gamblers I believe when Che went out looking for the Arcanum. Sorry, it took me a short while to remember.

Bah. I figured there was a chance they've been mentioned before. I have a terrible memory. :/

At least it was just a minor extra... so I've got that going for me. :)

[/ nods] There's actually a good number of Kinden that get shown off that we never know the names of. Since I write for Mr. Adrian, I sometimes get small spoilers and such. Oh, and you didn't here this from capiche? But I've heard that the community will have a chance to contribute to the Insect-kinden world in some small way. Remember, you didn't hear this from me.

From my memory, Gaff was never officially identified as a
firefly-kinden. On the wiki (
http://shadowsoftheapt.wikia.com/wiki/Gaff ) (really unsubtle
plugging), I have him down as 'Firefly?'
That always was my opinion.

The wiki could really use some work in the Kinden department. I would recommend cross checking info from the books with info from Adrian's website. One of the things that's really been bugging at the moment on the Wiki is that officially Water Beetle-kinden are actually called Diving Beetle-kinden. Saltwheel is listed as such in the Dramatis Personae. I would highly recommend checking over all sources of info since that would limit the amount of petty errors.
