In no particular order: I have not finished it yet, actually just started it and trying to read it slowly so that I can savior each and every little bit of it. > >Tukko: Who is he? What is he? How old is he? Does the Dzur in his title >(title?) have to do with the house or the mountain? What does he do exactly >(besides serve klava)? As a minor note, in one book he was called Chaz; we >find that Chaz is indeed part of his name/title. Note 1: Tukko was also the name of the Jhereg who ran the tavern where Khavren (just can't seem to spell this right!) aquired the horses to go and arrest Adron near the end of FIVE HUNDRED YEARS AFTER (which I just finished re-read again). Note 2: I still think Tukko / Chaz is really Mario (Sethra was a little pissed with him after he killed the Emperer while she (Sethra) was supposed to be guarding him). Or maybe he didn't teleport perfectly? Can't wait to see what in LoCB made you bring him up... >I don't recall Vlad ever mentioning white marble inside Castle Black. Did >he not notice it (that would seem to be difficult to miss in a black >castle), not mention it, or is it in some private room? Vlad describes the Halls of Verra as white marble(?), maybe / most likely there is some connection. >That's all I can think of for now. Here is something... how come Verra is never (that I seem to recall) mentioned in THE PHOENIX GUARDS or FIVE HUNDRED YEARS AFTER, beyond the birth of Aliera, that is...? Actually, was she even mentioned then? Any idea what her status was at the time? i.e. was she able to manifest there and then? >-- >Steve _________________________________________________________________ Help STOP SPAM with the new MSN 8 and get 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=features/junkmail
