I just recently noticed (while working on the Wikicity) that there are apparently two characters in the Dragaera books named "Tem". One is a Teckla servant of Pel in /Paths of the Dead/. The other is the Teckla villager living in Smallcliff during the events of /Athyra/. Since both these characters are Teckla, the obvious quesiton is; are these, in fact, the same person? Since Pel's servant's age is given at 500-550 years, it's quite likely he's still alive 250 or so years later (the time of Athyra). Of course, a name as simple as "Tem" is likely to be fairly common, so it could be just a coincidence. Still, there are relatively few cases of identical names in Dragaera (notable exceptions include "Ibronka" (known to be at least 3 different characters) and "Ori" (which denotes both a Dragon and yet another Teckla resident of Smallcliff)). Anyone care to lay odds on this one? Majikjon
