Thanks for the welcome and answering my questions. > BTW, were you aware > that _Brokedown Palace_ is also a Dragaera novel? Technically it would be Fenarian. And yes, I do know of it, it took me absolutely forever to find the book since it hasn't been published in over a decade. I haven't read it either, but its on my shelf right now; I am afraid to touch it, it looks like it will crumple the second I touch it like the old books in the original "The Time Machine" movie. - Jason
