[Sorry, I nearly forgot -- one question each to talifabian and yhlee: Can I assume that Ankat wrote Imsayed, Istradez's alias in this message? Or if you did mean Istradez, that's fine too.
And do names get repeated in the Vauhan family (ie is there any plausible deniability once Mikodez/Istradez sees the other's names?) I've been assuming that even homophones get avoided across generations, hence Mikodez's alias, but I probably...shouldn't....]
