Yes, that bit got me confused as well. I also wonder if we're tying
the named characters too closely together. I know Orlanthi go in for
complex relationships but there are several hundred people in WW and
it seems a bit strange that the dozen we've mentioned so far are all
related this closely.
The other thing I'd really like to include is the big scene where Rana
walks in on the wedding party straight from fighting her way though
the Lunars. Recently married doesn't quite have the same impact.
Good job of making sense of our ramblings though.
