[Dragaera] Dragaera shopping

[Steve Rapaport]

Ok, from the dragaera wiki:

Jhegaala "shift as moments pass".

Jhegaala are one of the lowest-order "noble" houses in the
Empire<http://dragaera.wikia.com/wiki/The_Empire>(generally
outstripping only the
Teckla <http://dragaera.wikia.com/wiki/Teckla> and
Jhereg<http://dragaera.wikia.com/wiki/Jhereg>in terms of prestige).

Jhegaala are likely commonly laborers or workers of tasks that while they
are somewhat menial, still require the ability to read and write, and so
cannot be done by most Teckla. (Clerks? Paymasters? Secretaries?)

Much of the above is somewhat speculative, as there have been very few
examples of Jhegaala to date, so little is known of them for sure.
Dzurlord<http://dragaera.wikia.com/wiki/Meta:Dzurlord_%28book%29>has
this to say about the animal they're named after:
*The jhegaala lives in swamps, and starts as an egg, becomes a large moth,
and then a very large toad, passing through a few other stages in between.*
