Khaavren is heading to Dragaera city to join the Phoenix guard, even though he's not a Phoenix (and he expects to find many Dragons in the guard, too). But there's a reference specifically to the *wizards* of the Athyra Guard, in the recent past. I note that doesn't say they're all *Athyra* wizards, though; I guess it's just noting the degree of stylistic differences imposed on various parts of the empire when the cycle turns. -- David Dyer-Bennet, dd-b at dd-b.net / New TMDA anti-spam in test John Dyer-Bennet 1915-2002 Memorial Site http://john.dyer-bennet.net Book log: http://www.dd-b.net/dd-b/Ouroboros/booknotes/ New Dragaera mailing lists, see http://dragaera.info
