Awfully quiet. Even the food/magic/culture emails haven't happened for a while. So, Louis' speculation: The Lavode Scandal and Sethra being banned from court: How could have this happened? Perhaps Sethra had a relationship with an Emperor(ess) and when things went sour got banned from court. Or perhaps such and such ruler at the time discovered Sethra's undeadness in an intimate moment? I would be pretty miffed if my lover neglected to tell me she suddenly became an animated corpse.
