Hmmm. You know, I hadn't thought that Kieron would be reincarnated--I had always assumed that he'd come out physically in order to father Deverra. But then, Steve says that Deverra was fathered in the Paths of the Dead, so maybe he doesn't need to come out at all for that and the bit about coming to get the sword is just a red herring. Or maybe Steve was kidding about Kieron being the father. It *is* sort of Wagnerian, after all... Max -- Be pretty if you are, Be witty if you can, But be cheerful if it kills you.
