As an example, when SB explained Devera's interactions with time.. SPOIER SPACE for those who prefer to keep guessing He said that Devera was conceived in the Paths and born in Verra's Halls. He also said that time doesn't flow the same way in both of those places. In other words, SB implied that Verra's Halls are completely seperate from the Paths of the Dead. It also makes sense. Verra may wish to bring people to her Halls to talk to them (like she has with Vlad), but it would be a real problem if only the dead were allowed there. But if Verra's Halls are not part of the Paths, then there isn't a problem :)
