Of those three parts, it may well be that only Spellbreaker was part of the original Godslayer. >From text, I think that's all we really know. Which, by omission, means we don't know *who* disassembled Godslayer. But Sethra might, and IMHO Verra knows as well. ------------------------------------------------------- Was there a specific quote in the text that says Godslayer was a full GW and then disassembled? I remember Vlad being told that spellbreaker was "not yet" a GW and the serioli hinting that spellbreaker would *become* something more.
