(I'm AFB so anything written here is by my faulty memory) I don't recall Sethra specifically saying she can't leave Dzur Mountain because the Jenoine were about to attack, but only that she couldn't leave at the moment. I remember in Orca she recalled the Jenoine at Dzur Moutain (and my thoughts after reading PoD were that we will see this in A) LoCB or B) Sethra Lavode *shrug*. Then again it's been awhile since I've read either and I just might be missing something, which wouldn't be unusual.) But, if I'm not forgetting something, maybe there was another reason altogether why she couldn't leave Dzur Mountain? _________________________________________________________________ MSN 8 with e-mail virus protection service: 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=features/virus
