The scene around the table from the Godslayer discussion I started earlier had an incident where Sethra digs back several centuries to remember something. (To be precise, that Sethra herself was the one that made the accusation against Norathar's family.) When she did it, she paused, rolled her eyes back into her head and tuned everybody out for a moment. That doesn't sound anything close to normal human memory. It sounds more like sorcery or witchcraft or just Sethra being undead. any other theories on this? Scott
