While I agree with your conclusions, I hesitate to agree with your
reasoning about dating ages. For one thing, Devera is *already* older
than Vlad himself, which saves VN a few years of aging. For another,
age may or may not be kind of arbitrary for Devera (I'm beginning to
suspect that the old gypsy in /Agyar/ may be Devera). Finally, time is
*definitely* funny around Devera. This girl was sent as the messenger
to announce the birth of her own mother. I have no doubt that, if it
were deemed Cool, a suitably-aged Devera could show up when VN is also
suitably-aged.

Come to think of it, there's that whole thing with Laszlo and
witchcraft. So who knows, maybe even Vlad Sr. will still be hale and
hearty a hundred years from now. Unless he's been dissolved in a
puddle of Jenoine amorphia...
