I don't agree that the dragon seen at the end of _Issola_ was Devera in another form. I think the similarity to Aliera was meant to indicate that Kieron had left the Paths in some way (perhaps in a new temporary body or merely possessing a totem of his house). This also helps explain why Sethra said that Aliera shoud know him since she had met Kieron and been familiar with him once and has apparently never met Devera yet. If this isn't meant to be Kieron then I don't think we're meant to know who it is yet. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
