Barritt can be in two places at once, > so why not Devera? :) Steve is sneaky. So, Devera was "conceived in the Paths of the Dead" and "born in Verra's halls." One of the going theories about Devera's father is that it's Kieron, who comes back in search of his sword just as he told Aliera he would. But--if Devera's conceived in the Paths of the Dead, he doesn't _need_ to reincarnate to father her. And does Aliera go back to the Paths later (probably unwise, since they weren't particularly willing to let her go in the first place), or was Devera conceived during the events of Taltos? (And if so, when?) Comments? Max Wilson Who kind of likes the idea that Devera will never be born, Because then she would be a baby instead of a little girl, Which is really the essence of Devera-ness. -- I die! I mis-remember my friend's telephone number and dial into a hydroelectric dam's power line, electrocuting myself. My roommates mistake my flailing spasms for sign language, coincidentally describing a delicious recipe for fried tungsten with petroleum jelly. They try the recipe. All die! O, the embarassment.
