Want to help refresh my memory? I don't recall this. > I believe the dragon (notice no capital in dragon) in Issola wa in fact Devera. Here is a passage page 230 There was even someone or something above the Jenoine-at least, there seemed to be a hovering sort of darkness about fifty feet up that appeared thick enough either to contain something sentient, or perhaps even to be something sentient, though if it was it was nothing I wanted to get to know personally. Aliera said, "Sethra, look." We all stopped and looked, and discovered that we were, in fact, not the only ones moving directly at the Jenoine: the dragon was, too. "Well, that is hardly surprising," said Sethra. "Who is it?" asked Aliera. "You don't know?" "No, should I?" "Yes." "Well then, who-" "Not now," said Sethra. She frowned, and finally said, "Very well. Leave her alone, we'll adjust." The dragon that is referred to is I believe Devera(and not just popping in to say hello but to help kill Jenoine), anyone have other confirmations/denials of this? >> Sethra or Verra may have been wise enough to see her as an asset to >> this eventuality and suggested she go there, though I think Devera >> is capable of that thought herself. > > As far as I could tell, all of Devera's doings in the Dragaeran books > is doing what Verra wishes, as I think she's only able to 'exist' > right now at Verra's whim. > > > Jag
