That raises an interesting point. Aliera says that only those of Kieron's blood can create Chaos (or something like that). Vlad, being of Kieron's blood by way of his soul, is able to. Aliera, being both Kieron's sister by way of her soul and of the e'Kieron line, is also able to. But if Aliera's previous life was Drien, then the e'Drien clan would be of Kieron's blood and by extension should be able to create Chaos, and Morrolan cannot. Maybe the relationship between Drien's descendants and Kieron thins the Chaos blood too much for it to work, though. Jose -- Jose Marquez jhereg69 at earthlink.net
