Loraan. He is killed by Blackwand, and still gets to come back as Undead. This annoys me because: 1) It doesn't strike me as something that a Great Weapon should do 2) It doesn't strike me that Morrollan (sp [1]) would want to do because, after all, Loraan was very uncooperative in giving him the soul of his cousin (and Adron's daughter) and 3) [spoiler space] 3) Because Loraan allowed the Jenonine access to Dragaera. This is not something that the Lords of Judgement appears really pleased about...so why would they allow him to come back as undead? I thought I had on one of my pages something about the only reason they allowed him back was for entertainment. They like to watch Vlad and Loraan made a great for for their daily soap opera, "As the Orb Turns" but can't find it now. It really makes little sense to me, but I suspect that Steven decided not to let that get in the way of telling a good story. -Jot [1] So Mark doesn't yell at me about spelling :) -- 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
