We see very little of inheritance among Dragaerans; I don't think its as simple as it is among Easterners. For one thing, the overlap of lifespans of children and parents can easily reach a couple thousand years, which is why children often get titles long before their parents die. I do think its likely that Aliera got her county back (what was called? Limterick?). > I am still uncertain whether or not he is Marquis of the > Pepperfields, since that title & associated lands is > controlled by the Crown. Was. In FHYA, Adron is referred to as Baron of Pepperfields; this implies (to me) that the area is no longer a special case. > However, since Morrolan was instrumental in aiding the > Crown in the first place, I suspect the issue of whether > they should go to anyone else never even came up. Agreed; this is also the reason why I believe Khaavren is the current Warlord. --KG
