first new comment:

I took a couple seconds and looked this up about Dumas' Vicomte.

The Vicomte de Bragelonne
Louise de La Valliere
The Man in the Iron Mask

(and as I read somewhere before, occasionaly they will drop in a fourth book 
called "10 years after" somewhere in the middle of those three.)

skzb's Viscount stands as

Paths of the Dead
Sethra Lavode
The Lord of Castle Black

taking for granted that Dumas probably didn't really intend for his Vicomte to 
be divided up into three titles, skzb is still running pretty parallel to how 
it is typically split.

Out of curiousity, are the covers going to read "Viscount of Adrilankha: Paths 
of the Dead" etc? (in which case "Viscount of Adrilankha: Sethra Lavode: 
Enchantress of Dzur Mountain" would pretty much take up the whole cover)

second new comment:

It occured to me last night that it could just have easily been named "Sethra" 
vs "Sethra Lavode"...  the leaving in of "Lavode" implies to me that 
Tazendra's becoming "gallant Lavode" carries some weight...

last comment:

The Lord of Castle Black is (imho) a great title.  Hopefully it will stay.
