This indicates that it was "Sethra the Elder", not Sethra the Younger who was "restoring order" in the ghetto and it environs. If StY really found it glorious or advantageous to lead the charge against the revolting Easterners, she would have found a way to do it. Of course, this could just indicate that StY is still out of favor with the court and so she wasn't offered the honor of replacing the suddenly retired brigadier. For Sethra Lavode, this sort of action is typical. Her primary job seems to be the maintenance of an orderly Empire.
