Rebecca writes: # It mentions in #one of the Vlad novels that Baritt's descendants had begun taking the name #e'Baritt because of his great achievements (there's some anachronism here - #it says in Jhereg that during one of the Dragon-Jhereg wars, the e'Baritt #line was almost wiped out... I guess they could have taken Baritt's name all #the way back then, but surely he couldn't have had that many descendants). If I recall correctly, Steve has said in connection with the e'Baritt anachronism that more than one person can bear the same name, and that a line can also be named retroactively. Anyhow, Steve has covered his retro. -- Mark A. Mandel http://cracksandshards.com a Steven Brust Dragaera fan website [I talk, Dragon NaturallySpeaking types, I correct. Neither of us is perfect.]
