For the life > of me, though, I can't figure out WHY I think of a Tsalmoth as "tenacious". "Maintains though none knows how" - wouldn't that imply preserverance, and thus persistance, and so on? I've had a vague noir fan-ficcy notion involving a world-weary Tsalmoth private investigator, with a line that runs something like the following: "She was an X. An X to make a Lyorn set his lineage block on fire." I'm not sure if X should be "Easterner", or one the Dragaeran Houses (other than Lyorn, of course). It's still a pretty vague notion at this point. And I don't usually fanfic anyway.
