Could someone enlighten me about Orlaan/Grita? She's Garland's daughter by Sennya, we learn in _FHYA_. On page 230 of that work, he instructs her to infiltrate Adron's encampment - apparently she is able to do so by doing something distasteful - presumably pass as a Dragon. In _tPotD_ she implies to Piro that she has bathed in the (lesser) sea of chaos. According to Aliera in _Jhereg_, this means she has the e'Kieron genes required. (Also I wondered a bit that Orlaan seems more fluent with elder sorcery than Aliera does in _Phoenix_.) Anyway, it's revealed in _FHYA_ that she is a Dzur/Tsalmoth hybrid, but where is the Dragon part? Another question - her father goes by Greycat - a reference to his dzur connection? Finally, how is it that she survived the Disaster? She rides off after the remnant of the brigand band while Khaavren&Co sneak into Adron's tent, and then earlier than 20-30 minutes - "too soon", says Adron - kaboom. In _tPG_ there is a description of the now non-existent sights outside the city, quite a lot of them. Well, anyway, I'm thinking it was a close call or perhaps she survived because of her genetics...
