=================================================================

This brings up another question.  Morrolan first meets Sethra Lavode when he 
goes to Dzur Mountain to collect feudal dues.  But is there any reason to 
suppose she actually holds Dzur Mountain in feoff to him?  I would think she holds 
directly from the Imperial Throne.  As I recall, the person who told him she 
was one of his tenants was some passing Teckla laborer who wouldn't know the 
ins and outs of enfeoffment.

And I suspect she holds it in fee simple absolute, not owing rents or 
reliefs, as a reward for past services to the Empire.
