Although I suppose it's possible, since they also ran into Baritt (pg 136) (and, apparently someone descended from him, pg 122). Before he was actually dead. Wasn't a good half of Aliera's reason for giving Kieron's sword away to Sethra the Younger to piss Kieron off enough get him to come back? Given, he hasn't actually done so yet, unless the time funkiness means he managed to get himself reincarnated as Morrolan sometime after having that conversation with Aliera... But: Aliera recognizes Vlad as soul-kin, and looks at him funny in Taltos. Kieron recognizes Aliera and Vlad both, and comments on it, albeit in a way that makes no sense to Vlad. Neither says anything about Morrolan. Another note on pre-Empire sorcery--I looked this up last night in Jhereg. There's what Adron was doing, which was direct manipulation of and the ability to create chaos (also known as the sorcery of the Jenoine); there's something that's one step removed (what Orlaan was doing?); and then there's sorcery channeled through the orb. The thing that Morrolan lacks is the ability to create chaos. (As Vlad says, "Poor fellow. How can he live without it?") Morrolan has been studying pre-Empire sorcery for about a century as of Jhereg--I think he can do the one-step-removed stuff, just not the creation of chaos. ~Juliette ===== ~-~-~-~-~-~-~ "When they say that people should bring things to their relationships, I hadn't thought that meant that one person should keep a sword in her torso and that the other one should turn into a car." --Elena, on "Revolutionary Girl Utena" __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
