It was my understanding that this was simply a manner of citing nobility that didn't really want to go on record but the citer wanted to lend weight to his information anyway. I'm not certain that Brust actually had any 'real' nobility in mind when he had Parrfi cite them. Anyone else catch that Tazendra is going to be a Lavode? How unlikely does that sound? -Scott Ingram
