That's one place he stays, but under an assumed name.  Wasn't
there a comment about him spending a lot of time elsewhere?

1.  Do we know for certain that Yendi titles are attached to

2.  Fiefdoms usually do have manors, but that doesn't mean
the lord spends much time there.  See Loraan in _Athyra_ and
of course Vlad.
