  /Taltos/, chapter 14, pg 144 in th Ace PB:
    "I'm your cousin.  My name is Morrolan e'Drien.  I am the eldest son
    of your father's youngest sister."
  I have speculated elsewhere about whether Dragon lineage follows the
  father always, or can perhaps sometimes follow the mother.  But I am
  nearly certain that Rollandar's wife, Adron's sister, was an e'Kieron.

    "And yet," observed Kéurana, "he has not the bloodlines to use
    such powers fully." [LoCB, p. 391]

I am confuséd.
  
  Note that "eldest" would appear to be wrong, although it occurs to me
  as I type this that Morrolan might not have known of his brother
  Molric when he said that.  Or Vlad or Steve just got it wrong.

Hmm.  FHYA, page 141: "To-day my cousin is Warlord, and his younger
son is my chainman, [...]"  Note 'younger'.
