I have to wonder. At this point, does Morrolan know that Vlad is the
reincarnation of [spoiler?] (Newbie question. Is something revealed
early in the first published book considered a spoiler?) Perhaps
that's why he doesn't want to mention names. Since Aliera knew, and
with the revelation at the end of Orca, it is possible that Sethra
knew beforehand as well.

Also, doesn't Loiosh stop people from messing with Vlad's mind? (See Issola)
