Leaders get assassinated alot. I seem to recall reading somewhere (maybe Phoenix) that the Jhereg actually do have a nobility, but that none of them are involved in the Organization. The impression that I got is that they're there for show, and to have an established line from which a Jhereg heir can come. They're sort of irrelevant until the Jhereg reign comes around, and even then, I have a feeling that the Organization operates independently of them. Jose -- Jose Marquez jhereg69 at earthlink.net
