True, true. I glanced back at the last few pages today, and noticed that I had missed that. I have a bad tendency of reading all night, to the point where I'm almost falling asleep, because I just can't put the book down. However, this usually means I forget the last few pages I've read, and I had missed that mention of Khaavren. I'm glad to see he's still in action. ;-) > Besides, no red-blooded Dragon would stand for a non-Dragon Warlord. I > mean, really. The idea is very nearly preposterous. It IS preposterous - but fun to speculate about, however. Imagine a Yendi Warlord. If a war ever broke out, no doubt a Yendi would confuse them to the point that both sides completely forgot what they were fighting over, and probably manage to work out a new peace agreement in the process. (Actually, it would probably be even MORE complicated than that, but I don't even want to try to understand how a Yendi's mind works.) ______________________________ Mark Porter "Sword-chucks.
