She was looking, but did she find it?) and _Loraan_ has it 250 years later. Since I have been made reminded of the existance of Rolaan the Jhereg in Vlad's time, I'm wondering how he fits in. I believe I'll also try to make Rollandar part of the crowd. Here's my working theory: These characters are actually the same person. A very talented person. Probably a god of some sort. Maybe that's how it works in our universe too; everyone with the same name is actually the same person. :) Yes, yes, I'm just being silly now. Religions have been founded on stranger notions though!
