SSSSSSSSSSSSS PPPPPPPPPPP AAAAAAAAAAAA CCCCCCCCCCCCCC EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, First some old questions I had hoped would be answered in this book: - What effect (if any) did the Interregnum have on the Overcast? Well, it's still there, but now it's always referred to as the Enclouding. My belief is that this is solely due to the author noticing discussions of this question. - Is the Overcast poisonous? Nope, at least not to Dragaerans. - How high is it? It's altitude varies (maybe weather related) so that some parts of the Empire are occassionally above it. - How was Zerika born and how did her parents die? Still wondering. - How was Morrolan involved with Zerika regaining the Orb? Still wondering. - Why is sorcery so much stronger now? Still wondering. - Who is the current Warlord? Piro? Kana? Kytraan? Roanna? Ibronka? - Who is Duke of Eastmanswatch? Still most likely (IMO) Morrolan. New questions that will likely be answered in the other two volumes: - What's Pel doing? - What's Zerika doing? - What will the Jenoine do? - Who gets to teach the Necromancer basic etiquette? - Where is Devera? - Who gave the Orb to Zerika? Was that Trout? Tortaalik? - Why does the Orb's return make the world vulnerable to the Jenoine? I thought the Orb prevented them from meddling. - Where will Morrolan find Blackwand? In a lake? Lake Fenarr? - Why are Ibronka and Roanna important? And finally, some questions we may never get answers to: - World of Seven Doors? - What is Paarfi working on with Sethra? (bottom of p.23) Hrm, I thought I had more questions than that... --KG
