This has been bugging me for some time now. In one of the Vlad books, Vlad refers to Daro, Countess of Whitecrest, as a Lyorn, whereas Paarfi in 500YA explicitly states that, while she might wear Lyorn colors, she is in fact a Tiassa. I'm inclined to side with Paarfi on this one, but I'm not sure why Vlad would think she's a Lyorn, other than coming to that conclusion after having seen her in her Lyorn colors. Anyone have any ideas? Jose -- Jose Marquez jhereg69 at earthlink.net
