I like the idea of the living planet. Monty seems to be borrowing from various traditions for his characters, and in many animistic belieft systems the Earth is thought of as Mother Spirit and I understand some environmental scientists think of our planet as one giant ecosystem so the idea could be extrapolated to Renmant.
