Notwithstanding that, I cannot remember if he says that any of them seems to have both characteristics, and if not it can be also that Sethra only recruits Lavodes from those two houses, but if the purpose of the Lavodes is "to handle threats or potential threats to the Empire that were fundamentally non-military", maybe it does not have sense to only recruit members among the two skillest houses in the military art, does it? Maybe some Yendis and Athyras would be useful also, wouldn't they? _________________________________________________________________ Descubre el mayor catálogo de coches de la Red en MSN Motor. http://motor.msn.es/researchcentre/
