So, I checked my copy of Teckla and it matches the "or was it the paths of the dead" portion, so I suppose it could be that it isn't a crack. I may have to start talking into a shiny box. :) I do however see a difference between that and the Morollan/Zerika/PotD stuff. The Spellbreaker one was before this list and I suspect a lot of his fans were around. The M/Z/P was written AFTERWARDS and I believe Steven has intimated that he left that inconsistency in on purpose. After all, he could have fixed it when he wrote the whole Viscount book, but he chose not to. I suppose he would give us is stock reply for this: "Tee hee" -Jot [1] No, not a typo. :) -- Jot Powers <books at bofh.com> http://www.bofh.com/books/ "I'm upping my standards, so up yours!" -Pat Paulsen (1927-1997), Presidential Campaign Slogan
