( the necromancer) I have been thinking about that, and i have recently come to my own conclusion that the necromancer is The painting baroness from TPG. In jhereg Vlad tells us the necromancer is a painter and that she painted the picture of the dieing dragon hanging in morrolan's castle, also he explains that Katana E'M'archala painted the ceiling of Castle Black. I am guessing from the extra apostrophe in the last name that it is a shortening of her full last name, like G'aerth. And we all know the baroness painted a picture of a dieing dragon that belonged to Lord Rollandar e'Drien, if memory serves e'Drien is the line fo which Morrolan is a member, so he could have inherited it some way. so i propose that the necromancer is indeed the baroness and perhaps few people (only sethra since she and the baroness were apparently friends in TPG) know who the necromancer truly is. Like it or lump it TJS _________________________________________________________________ Send and receive Hotmail on your mobile device: http://mobile.msn.com
