Hi all!  This is fun!  I appreciate everyone who has replied, to both
address my "newness" and my conversation.

Ha!  I'd rather insult a Dzurlord!  Well, I have to say, Sethra has been a
font of truthfulness and general helpfulness in all that she does... right?
And, we've already seen that things are pretty subjective, so perhaps Sethra
isn't 100% correct either.  I do have an issue with how it seems to be
accepted that Spellbreaker was once a fully built Great Weapon... didn't the
Serioli say it wasn't one, yet?  No references, since I am AFB and am not
pursuing this scholarly - but "yet" is different than "was, and will be" in
my mind.  Considering how much trouble the prhase "our world" was in Jhereg,
I can imagine that words were chosen carefully there.

I certainly have come far afield from declaring I believe in Taltos-as-story
and that Brokedown Palace means a lot more to Vlad and empire than it
appears.   I can't wait for Vlad to visit the "east in which a part of which
is Fenario".  I suppose Dragaera is rathe Ethnocentric and by proxy so am
I... but I was thinking it went without saying that perhaps the East is more
vast and populous and perhaps even uncaring as to the fate of the shrouded
lands.

signing off now with more words than I've typed in a while,

Tomas
