"Who" gets killed is in _Jhereg_. But there is no tension between "Adron protecting a Jhereg which led to the Disaster" and "Adron's disaster was the result of a screw-up." Because of the War, many good Dragon generals were killed, and Adron had to rely more heavily on sorcery than would have been ideal if all those generals were available to him. The "screw up" happened in a way because he was forced to go the sorcerous route instead of a strictly military one.

I am confused as to which Jhereg was killed that was under Adron's care that started the war and resulted ing Adron's disaster. Adron's Disaster was the result of a screw up. I know stories get crossed (especially w/ Vlad) and Aliera might not have known the truth, but I just got really confused. Can someone please help me with that? Thank you with all my heart. -Crystal
