Lemme guess, the gist of it is thus:
The Covenant are a race that consist of three species. Right?
I know that with humans, we've got a number of different races within our species. In Myth, I've always used race and species somewhat interchangably; the Ghols and Trow are different races and different species, but the Berserks and Cath Bruig are different races and the same species. Unit-types like Warriors, Herons, and Bowmen I call "groups", and a group can span races and species (Herons can be Western humans or Berserks or Bruigs, etc, as could Thrall. I wonder if you could have Trow Thrall [Troall]? Hrm...).
