> Lyorn:  aristocrats, historians/archivists, the creme de la creme.
I feel that Phoenixes and then Dragons are the creme de la creme.
> No idea> what the story behind this book will be; but I hope it gets into Vlad's, or

> Dragaera/the Empire as well, and then I'd get to test my theories to see if

That could be fun.
Lyorns are also stubborn and do everything the right way, something Vlad might decide to do or more likely not to do.

Me too.
> Chreotha: traders, merchants, tailors, and actors.  Costume-designers, I
> bet.  I suspect that the story titled Chreotha will detail Assassination #x
> where Vlad had to hire a bunch of Chreotha actors to convince someone who'd
> protected himself excessively that the "business deal" they'd proposed was
> legit.  On the other hand, I don't know how well Steve would like to write

We haven't yet seen much of a Chreotha, and we certainly haven't seen a sly one weave his net (as far as we know).  Maybe this one will be about an elaborate trap--as several others are.
> Tsalmoth:  more or less a bear.  Not to be confused with the Tsalmyth, the
> tree-dwelling oyster turtle.  They "maintain though none knows how".
> Tsalmoth are merchants--and if they're anything like bears, you do NOT.
> threaten. their young.  It's possible that Tsalmoth will deal with the Left
> Hand threatening Vlad Norathar in some way.  That or it's about Vlad having
> to source his own honey for his klava while in a forest, on the run from
> the Jhereg still.
We also haven't seen a Tsalmoth maintain though none knows how.  Vlad could be good at that.

> Vallista:  builders.  Perhaps Vlad builds Cawti a castle, though they've
> already got one? (go away yew filthy pig-dogs!) in Szurke.  Otherwise, Vlad
> builds a legacy for Vlad II?
Or a new life for himself?  "Vallista rends and then rebuilds"--sounds kind of Communist.
> Or Vlad II and Devera build a life together> cause pretty please, Steve?
:-)
> The Last Contract: Vlad removes the aspect of Verra's divinity that allows
> them to influence each other's lives---implications for his abilities as a
> witch?  can't really see himself switching teams to Barlen or something...
> Can't see him destroying Verra utterly; that would wreck the world itself.
Would it?
I think it's very likely that Vlad and Godslayer are going to do something very drastic to Verra, but fortunately there are lots of other possibilities.
> Perhaps I'm wrong, and Devera takes Verra's spot in the sisters of darkness
> trio?
Or replaces all of them.
> At which point, Vlad Norathar would become a CRAZY powerful witch.
Unless he wants to do something else with his life.
