Nothing, but you haven't identified anything new either. Morrolan and
Aliera's relationship is settled in _Taltos_, and the order of succession
in _Yendi_:
"I'm your cousin. My name is Morrolan e'Drien. I am the eldest son of your
father's youngest sister." (_Taltos_, start of chapter 14.)
We know Morrolan's father is Rollondar e'Drien from the Paarfi books.
Chapter Six, page 60 in the Tor mass-market paperback, has Morrolan give
his father's name.
And in _Yendi_, Vlad discusses the succession, in terms of how each of our
friends was to be eliminated from it: Norathar was to be Morganti'd, or at
least killed permanently, Aliera was to be disgraced for interfering in a
Jhereg war, and Morrolan out "by the same logic." (Toward the end of
chapter 15.)
I can't give precise page numbers for the Vlad books, as I have them in
the "Book Of" compilations. At least, for the first seven.
