But since the event isn't remembered, it apparently didn't happen, whether caused by an Easterner or someone else. (And yes, depending on how fast Vlad's little trick had spread, someone might have known it was Vlad. Partly it hinges on whether teleportation is really as new a trick as Paarfi says it is. Certainly there were witnesses, whose memories are accessible through the Orb.) Vlad would not have known to *try* to use amorphia if he hadn't just had > that little talk with Aliera. Now, this point I may have to concede. Actually I don't remember the sequence of events from "Jarhead" very well. Was he thinking about the Dolivar thing particularly, or just that Elder Sorcery were possible? Scott pointed out that Vlad is certainly not the first to learn of Elder Sorcery.
