What about the Snake?
In his blog he deconstructed a section about the Snake, so it's pretty obvious that they will appear in the book. Although no mention in the blurb...

I would direct you to SE's "Life as a human" blog, found around here some place (announcement forum, I believe) where he deconstructs a Snake section. And then makes a commenter look like a moran.
Trouble arrives when the opponents to such a system institute its extreme opposite, where individualism becomes godlike and sacrosanct, and no greater service to any other ideal (including community) is possible. In such a system rapacious greed thrives behind the guise of freedom, and the worst aspects of human nature come to the fore....

Yes, but it takes an extra-special moran to tell an author what and how to write on his own blog.

Oh lord, that guy made me laugh so hard I scared my dogs. (Ok I scared the jumpy one, the others gave me that "have you gone insane?!"-look.)
And thanks for explaining the meaning of iirc.
Sanity is nothing more than an excuse for being boring.

It's a play on this meme:

Of course, I look like a moran if you don't get the joke. Risk/reward.

Friend, know this for certain. Whatever Anomander Rake now attempts to do, he does not do it for himself.

So much that this blurb didn't say that has me intrigued. Pretty much everything D'rek mentioned is sure to happen, and i also wonder what the Letheriis role will be in this, i.e Tehol, Janall, etc.? As well as the crazy Ublala Pung, who last mentioned to Draconus something about "i'm supposed to save the world", all before wagging his dong at a pissed off Bargast maiden warrior! Should be lots of funny and exciting mayhem!
