I have often wondered what became of Pel, Aerich, and Tazendra... Particularly Tazendra, considering the amount of time the point of view has been fixed on Dzur Mtn and we only see Tukko, who is probably not the "Lavode that is not ready yet." Pel is probably just hangin' with the candlestick. Ken __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Small Business $15K Web Design Giveaway http://promotions.yahoo.com/design_giveaway/
