Did you notice the eyes on the fish? Remember that Dragonlords show their lineage with a dragonhead emblem with eyes of certain color[s]. I'm betting that fish's eyes were the e'Drien colors (can anyone remember if we've seen the e'Drien emblem?). >> 3.

This is bugging me a bit because it *wasn't* a false vision. He had a vision of a corpse in Adrilankha that seemed to have died from the plague. Because of that vision, he left home and traveled to Adrilankha, and found an actual corpse that matched his vision (but not his interpretation). So what was the idea that Pel gave him? And how long had that fellow been a corpse? Could Pel have known of his death? >> 5. What month is it coming!? August 1 2003?, good, gimmie >> more. > > Whine. At least we know the remaining volumes are already finished, so we don't have to worry about "unexpected delays" from the author. --KG
