Hi, Connections between Brokedown Palace and Dragaera and the translator: Devera Kav or Khaavren Brigitta --> daughter -- Cawti Vlad and his friends/sources in the East ? A jhereg that may be trying to help Miklos ? So as I was rereading Brokedown Palace, I noticed this: "Above him, the jhereg had given up, save one whose cries now seemed to say, The River! The River!" Which made me wonder again if Jenoine-altered animals would reincarnate also. I noticed that Miklos said Heh. Sorry, cannot find the page(s). Could Vlad have met Miklos back East? When did Vlad start using the word heh? Could Vlad have picked up the habit of using the word heh from his friend Miklos. Like Piro picked up the habit of using the word Cha from his father, Khaavren. Book Search has 500 Years After, Issola, Jhereg, Teckla, The Phoenix Guards, Yendi in it. And when you search for Heh, the Vlad books that show up are Teckla and Issola. Vlad never said heh in Jhereg or Yendi? I was surprised. Anyone remember Vlad saying heh in Taltos or Dragon? Who are Vlad's sources and/or friends back East? Vlad says "I do have a few friends in the East". He is talking with Cawti and does not say we have friends. Vlad, of course, would not realize the connection between Brigitta's daughter and Cawti. So maybe there is a Vlad and Brokedown Palace connection. Maybe Vlad meets up with Miklos, Vilmos and Andor in the East before Jhereg. Vlad then heard the whole story of Brokedown Palace and the translator asks Vlad if he knows any tales from the East. Look another book--Brokedown Palace. Or the connection could be as simple as Vlad's grandfather collecting tales from his past and his customers about the East and telling them to Vlad. Vlad telling the translator here are a couple of tales of the East including one about a Brokedown Palace. Or maybe Devera knows the translator. Bye. Linda G. Devera speaking: "Fenario. He said I should go to Fenario because I would be able to learn something about--well, I'm really not supposed to say. But I must have missed, since I'm way up here, and that means I'm probably early, too."
