something else i was thinking along this line is that *he* is dzur mountain,
sethra feeds off him somehow etc etc...

i'm still of the opinion that mario was a reincarnation of whats his name,
and
our little vlad is just the next incarnation of that soul.. by whats his
name, i
mean kieron and aliera's brother, his name escapes me right now, but
assassinating an emperor and dropping the empire into chaos would seem to
be his speed.. dolivar? for some reason i want to type dolemite, out of some
fond remembrance for bad 70's exploitation films....

i was hoping it was some messed up form of hungarian and someone could
rough translate :)
