I'm AFB so I might be over simplifiying. Anyone? > John D. Barbato, OD As I recall, Vlad asked them (Aliera and Morollan) if they knew how to make an Orb, and they responded that, yes, they did, but they needed a source of Amorphia, which they didn't have (to their knowledge). This was when Vlad was able to "casualy" toss out that they did, indeed, have such a source. Things got rather confusing after that, so it's not surprising that they didn't get a chance to start what would probably take quite a long time to complete.
