  Nic:
  OOC: I could not find that out either. As for him having a name, I thing 
Grandfather Mortal is just what he is called in that Theyalan myth 
because he is the Grandfather of Flesh Man who is one of the 
Lightbringers. I think he is the same entity as Wild Man who goes round 
fathering all the humanoid races in other myths.

  Sam:
  Well, this all assumes we are going to give him this name rather than Time. I'd say so at this point, except I personally like the idea that he truly hasn´t a name rather than it has just not been ascribed to him. Others may have differing opinions. Then again, if we can´t find his name, that could be a good sign...
   
  Yes, same as Wild Man and Old Man...

  Also Daka Fal:

  Interestingly, the latter has this:
  "(Such was the situation in Prax, anyway. Other distant lands [such as Seshneg in the Dawn ages] developed this form of worship until they made their ancestors surpass the mighty gods in power, or else reduced the immortals into mere superhuman heroes or multi-national ancestors. Such developments are outside the immediate scope of this book.)"
   
   
  Also, I´d be interested to know from Lev what the rules of the game are, as it were. Is there a correct answer we must guess? Alternatively, is it more a matter of using abilities etc to be sufficiently "right" or convincing or somesuch? Different approaches...

Nic:
  Right then he sounds like an ideal candidate to speak up with locally 
appropriate name for Grandfather Mortal, care to make one up?

  Ummm...Papa? Gramps? Uninspired at the mo, loads of work on...]
