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_.
