Well - any changes we make get footnoted as errata too :)
It all does seem a bit vague/confused -
I was under the impression that most of the sentient creatures
prior to the rise of Agarash were 'reptilian' (cf. the Crocaryx,
or however you spell it) ... following the deafeat of Agarash,
the Old Kingdoms were peopled by 'Drodarin' races (dwarves,
Kundi, etc etc) - humans didn't arrive until the age of the Shianti.
- HOWEVER- the undead Ixians seem to have humanoid form?
We might have expected them to be repitilian?
I dunno, the main gripe is with the use of the term "Old Kingdom" -
it is fairly widespread through the books, and is defined in the
Magnamund Companion - its (mis)use in 'The Deathlord of Ixia'
sticks out like a bit of a sore thumb.

I'm with Thomas on this one. I don't think we should make a change this large,
trying to bring it in line with another book -- especially if 'Ixian magic'
turns out to be a mistake too!
Footnote the inconsistency and be done with it, I say.
