The Emperor dissappears every seventh day? Does he? I never knew this?

I s'pose he goes to His Mother's Manse on the Red Moon, as he can teleport there using the Arm of the Moon which he carries with himself. Ambushing him Jar-Eel style would take some skill, actually catching him on the way there would be impossible (unless the Orlanthi developed some Star Trek style rune spell to intercept teleports : ) and ambushing him when he WAS there would be more difficult than killing him in the City of Dreams. I think that the Manse may be where the Egi are. and so if you slew the Emperor, all the Egi and whatever sources of magic used to regenerate the Emperor, he would never again return to life.

Off hand I can't remember how he dies in KoS.
