Yes, but I was saying that Tortaalik's sister was never explicitly mentioned as Phoenix Heir. I thought it was likely since there's usually hereditary passage of titles (at least in Phoenix and Dragon Houses). If Tortaalik had no child at the time his sister would be Heir at the time (though some odd circumstances are also possible; she could be his half siter and not in line; she might not have been born under a phoenix, driving her insane and willing to be in a plot that had no hope of benefiting her...). __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
