Re two recent issues, _FHYA_ pg 141 (ppb), Khaavren discusses the
Briartown affair with Adron, who apparently moved 2000 soldiers 400 miles
in 30 hours (13.3 mph), not far from the limit of 16 mph given the amount
of time required for coordination.  If this involves a change of mount
every 20 miles, that comes to 2k*20 or 40,000 horses.  Does that mean
that Adron maintains that many horses along a particular path?  Or say
along 10 paths leading 400 miles from Redface, for maybe 200k horses?

(Aside - Rollondar is Adron's cousin - Molric is Morrolan's brother -
Morrolan is Adron's cousin.  I wonder how lineage works.)

On pg 173, Paarfi answers the question, Can Tortaalik phone via the Orb,
in the affirmative - the Emperor refrains from contacting Khaavren during
the first uprising.  On the other hand, I think the questions about his
capabilities at the time of _TPG_ remain - perhaps he was too new on the
throne, though this still doesn't seem entirely consistent with the end of
_TPotD_.
