Subject: RE: Vlad's mother (SPOILERS) From: mary whalen <marewhalen at yahoo.com> >If anyone mentioned in the books is intended to be Vlad's mother (which >doesn't seem that likely) it would probably be Arra. Rare lurker posting here... this makes lots of sense; from Jhereg, page 7 of the omnibus, "I never knew my mother, but my father would occasionally mutter something about the 'witch' he had married." Don't remember any other references about his mum, but it would certainly explain Morrolan's friendship--and possibly Morrolan's initial disdain as well. Also Verra's support. And lots else. bear
