I think there is reason to worry about both Piro & Kytraan (as well as Tazendra). I have been thinking about Morrolan and Blackwand. I have had the notion that just because Blackwand is female does not mean that she has the soul of Tazendra. Another possibility is that Blackwand has her own soul, unrelated to those of our current Dramatis Personae, but that once she has killed/absorbed another soul, Morrolan can access (some of) the memories of that soul. So. First of all, consider who was in the party escorting Zerika. Second of all, consider whose lands certain persons have decided to take up banditry on/near... >I am worried about Tazendra, because if she were still alive, >Paarfi's career would be much shorter (she's not known for >leaving her victims revivifyable). Bah. There aren't enough of him to make it worthwhile. You have more reason to worry because Sethra Lavode, who has no reason to lie, has told Vlad that there are no other Lavodes. The speculation that the "'he' that isn't ready yet" is a gender confusion ("gya") for Tazendra, is, I think, utterly mistaken. Tazendra was referred to a couple of hundred years previously as being a full Lavode; were she still alive, I don't think she would be called "a Lavode that isn't ready yet". >Another one I'm worried about (whom no one else has mentioned >yet) is Princess Sennya. We're told more than once that her >only reason for living is her daughter, whom she just argued >with. On top of everything else, her status as "Princess" may be in jeopardy. Her daughter has acted in such an un-Dzur-like and unheroic manner - not only does she want to marry a non-Dzur, but worse and worse, she took part in a many-against-one armed theft from an unarmed Chreotha - that she might be disallowed as the Heir, and Ibronka might possibly even kicked out of the House. Oy, the shandeh!
