Re the capitalization of _Dzur_ on page 22.

pg. 55 of the Ace paperback of _Dragon_ there is exactly the same capitalization

"Next you will tell me that a Dzur in the wild can be dangerous"

Page 22, and I'm pretty sure it's a typo.

Burz seems to be [one of] the closest Fenarian towns to Lake Szurke,
so I'm not too surprised the Jhereg have sought out informants in 
the area.

When was the other torture?  _Teckla_?  Anyway, I got the feeling a
few months have passed since _Phoenix_, since we're already seeing
consequences from Noish-pa's style of government.

Black PS blocks psychics, witchcraft, and religious stuff.  See 
_Orca_ for Loiosh's vulnerability.
