Fair enough, but I got the impression (and I'll admit I could be mis-remembering:) that it had something to do with the genes. Or, at least, that's part of the subject that Aliera and Vlad were discussing when they talked about regressing into past lives. As I don't really believe in reincarnation, I can't compare the Dragaeran Past-Life Regression to those of modern hypontists. Though, given the nature of the Dragaerans, it wouldn't surprise me that they believed something that wasn't true, either. (Wasn't it Sethra who said that Aliera would deny that Easterners were on the world before Dragaerans?) > I rather imagine that Noish-pa could help Vlad with that just as > well as Sethra. Yeah, but Noish-pa's kick- at ss, and it wouldn't surprise me in the least. He's cool....:) Chris God is a comedian playing to an audience that is afraid to laugh - Voltaire
