Why throw in a Lyorn, if the council was watching? Why not have an e'Lanya wizard check, too? Hell, probably several of the council members could have done it - if say Adron was on the council. > Skipping a few pages on, I see that Sethra Lavode never met the other > members of the committee that did the second genescan (as far as she > knew then, obviously). Why not have Sethra do the scan? She's apolitical and of unimpeachable integrity. I'm thinking the whole thing was an even deeper set-up than Vlad's version of events. The only person able to manipulate Baritt, the SiG, StY, and the Dragon Council? Someone who thinks being a Jhereg is excellent training? Someone who wanted Adron to be the Heir at the end of the Cycle? Hmm...
