Brust: Pheonix attempting coup
Courtenay Footman
Tortaalik, and this was the final trigger of Adron's actions. It just became
clear to me that this Pheonix had to be one of Zerika parents. Paarfi
tells us that Khaavren warns Vernoi to get out of town two days before the
Disaster, but he doesn't. If he was trying to get out of town, this makes no
sense, so obviously he wasn't. What was he doing instead? Either trying
to become emperor, or trying to make his wife Empress. (Since she was
the Pheonix heir, this last is the more likely, now that I think of it).
Did everyone realize this, is this nuts, or have I actually discovered
something? I don't remember seeing this posted, but that is probably
my memory.

Aliera got her stories tangled, is all. She's referring to the
incident of the Goblets, which happened well before Adron's move, and
only indirectly had anything to do with it. Aliera doesn't know as
much history as she thinks she does, and tends toward tunnelvision.
And, besides, Daddy couldn't have done anything really wrong.
