Are only Dzur allowed in Easterner lands? I don't think that's it, but the "in fact" also confuses me. Also, *why* was the expedition mounted at all -- did they have good reason to expect to learn / find something of value? > [page 71] > > Time: forty years after Revolt of the Livery > > one meal a day? must not be hobbits Nah, I think they eat more meals a day, but ask Srahi to prepare only one daily for them. - tky
