So I don't think Vlad's children will have links because of Vlad. *Cawti*'s children will, and her daughter's children, and so on. Hmm, did Brigitta actually have a link, or was she part-demon? If the former, Cawti might have been born with a link herself, even before Jhereg title. Anyway, so what? So some Easterners inherit links. I wonder if Valabar's has a House. > Vlad's children WILL have an orb link unto the last generation, due to > various events in _Phoenix_. > > "And all heirs of his body..." But they might have to ask for the link explicitly, if he has children by a non-citizen. I'm not sure Phoenix changed anything; he already had a Jhereg title from his father. -xx- Damien X-)
