I've been re-reading the Vladiad in chronological order, which I must say is an interesting experience. I just noticed a line in Issola where Sethra says something to the effect of: "This is the kind of threat the Lavodes would have been called in to deal with. It's the reason we were created, after all." I find the phrasing interesting. She doesn't say it's the reason the Corps was created, but the reason the Lavodes were created. It makes me imagine Sethra and the original Lavodes (if there were others) being created for the purpose, as opposed to having been born/whatever normally and then joining the Corps.
