From: J C <greyw01f at hotmail.com> 1) Morrolan had a brother. He was mentioned in FHYA. It's possible that this brother was somehow able to survive the explosion, at least, in a soul-ish sense. We know that Adron survived and is present, according to Aliera, in the Lesser Sea. 2) Vlad is technically Aliera's brother, ie, Uncle to Devera, on her mother's side. It's possible that she refers to them as Uncle Vlad and Uncle Rollan literally. Besides, I don't at all like Kieron being Devera's father. It's not good. It smacks of trying to keep the storyline limited to too few characters, which I would regrettably argue peeks out its head every now and then in the vladiad. While it's entirely pointless to mention it, considering the reigning circumstances at the time, I don't see how she would have had *time* to conceive with Kieron in the paths. I don't see why she would have *wanted* to. They're brother and sister---*particularily* in the paths. Argue all you want for the genetic variation due to the reincarnation of the soul, but in the paths, they are nothing BUT the soul--the form they have is really quite peripheral. No, I'd much prefer if Devera's father was someone new, or at the very least, NOT KIERON. Just my opinion though.
