Indeed.

Going by memory, it's extremely vague about dates and about her location. And very useful it is too, when you want to fit scenarios ito PC plot-lines! I'll try to re-read later, but this is a busy weekend.

My own guess would be that she's becoming more and more detached from Broyan's army. She's doing the prep. for the Dragonrise: lots of HQing, visiting sacred sites, travelling around. Sometimes with a small army in tow, sometimes not. Her location will be pretty flexible, though I'd be surprised if it took her as far as Pavis for more than very brief visits at most.

Yes, seems likely.

And mine, though as Peter points out, it could have been one of his followers.

Maybe. I'm not convinced. If he's turning up out of the blue and taking over the WBB, he needs to convince a bunch of Praxians (as an Orlanthi) that he's worth following. Hard. If he already knows AWB (a separate person), then he only has to persuade *him* to be an ally, and that sounds like a much easier job.

Yes, and this is a problem how?

So she wasn't there. She moves!
