Well, we can take comfort from the fact that Sethra Lavode has whomped Sethra the Younger's ARSE with a great big whomping-stick. Or the moral equivalent thereof. ><helpfully> Ghostwheel reminds me of the Orb!

How about Random? Goes from unambitious, practically anonymous gadabout+drummer to Regal Figure. Which kinda makes the Jewel of Judgment the Orb, and the Unicorn is therefore Lords of Judgement+Sethra Lavode, which is not a bad thing to be, I think, although it might depend on *which* Lords of Judgement she is, since Barlen's a dork. >MJ, >resolving to be less silly, but pr'y still wrong > Well, now you've got *me* doing it. Since I am never worgn, and never, ever silly, you benefit from my participation, in that it lends you gravitas and rectitude, and like that.
