Possible Spoiler Alert and Theory. You have been warned.... Jon wrote: > and who is this Zungaron who is mentioned in _Issola_, the context of which > implying that he wields a great weapon? Given the context of the passage where Zungaron is mentioned (and I am away from my books at the moment, so please forgive if I'm a bit off), I believe Zungaron is Vlad as he was "back in the day" of Kieron. If I recall correctly, Zungaron doesn't know he weilds a Great Weapon (as told by Sethra), and I don't believe Vlad's past- life name is given in Jhereg. And it would be just like Sethra to slide around giving Vlad more information than she believes he needs at the time.
