I did consider Aleira and Mario, but as you point out, that predates Aleira and Pathfinder. Also note that, as was pointed out in Issola, the Great Weapons LOVE their wielders (if that''s the right word). I may be wrong, and I don't expect our esteemed author to let us know as it would give away to much about future books....although we would still end up specuating, just about different things. >I don't necessarily disagree with what you said but there's still a lot we >don't know. >Mike Agreed, However, I haven't seen any concrete evidence about the weilder of a great weapon having a wife/husband/SO. The only evidence I have points the other way, I may be wrong, but We'll just have to wait and see. Mark
