Dragaera

Amber -> Dragaera?

So, I was rereading the Amber series the other day, and I 
noticed that Corwin's sword's name is Grayswandir. 

"Blackwand!" flashed across my brain, and I began to make 
other demented connections, such as TALL, dresses in BLACK AND 
SILVER, and IS A BADASS SORCERER AND SWORDSMAN.  Morrolan 
e'Drien does not, as far as we know, have an annoying son who 
hangs out with an annoying nephew and invents annoying 
computers, but he DOES hang out with Verra, a Chaotic sort if 
ever there was one, although I am not sure Verra is in any way 
descended from Khaavren, who is of course the Dragaeran 
version of Benedict.  (... Khaavren may well be more glompable 
than Benedict, but I cannot swear to this.) 

I wish I could do better for Aliera than Fiona, which would 
make Mario Julian, which cracks me up, but I just can't.  If 
she were, say, Deirdre, this would be Wrong, Inaccurate, and 
Ridiculous. 

I bet that makes Daymar Brand, only Daymar doesn't want to rub 
anyone's nose in anything, and I'm not sure that he's ever 
tried to kill an illegitimate nephew.  (Do those exist?  Or is 
illegitimacy only reserved for children?  No, they exist.   
Phew.) 

Anyway, what I think I'm trying to say is, I need someone to 
smack me and tell me "NO STOP THIS IS WRONG AND SILLY," and 
where better to find this than on the Dragaera List?

PS  I bet people get Dworkin and Barritt confused all the 
time.
