Interestingly enough, in a later edition of "Jhereg" (I think it is the 16th printing, or at least the numbers on the copyright page go "20 19 18 17 16"), it says "Adrian Morgan". But SKZB confirmed that Adrienne changed her name to Adrian Morgan, so that explains that. Adrienne's original campaign was called "Piara" (or "Piarra" - he couldn't quite remember the spelling at the time), and Dragaera was a spinoff campaign. Or something like that. > >IIRC, Adrienne's Campaign set up Steven's. > >The system was home-brew.

Oh well.
