Paarfi would certainly want to push Morrolan's role and >discount Vlad's role in his own mind - and in his writings. That brings to mind a question I've had since reading /Issola/... How will Dragaerans in general react to the fact that an *Easterner* holds a *Great Weapon*? Isn't that kind of the equivilent of a toddler walking around armed with an Atomic Bomb? Certainly there will be fear of the weapon itself--but I'd imagine that quite a number of Dragaerans will react to it by saying "He really shouldn't have that, it's too dangerous for him, we'd better take it away from him." Of course, that's kind of like the mice voting to bell the cat. Majikjon
