Scavenger Hunt!

[rolanni]

I believe, but cannot prove, that -- somewhere in a published Liaden novel or story -- there is a scene wherein another character accounts for one of Korval as being "from Solcintra," whereupon the Korval answers that indeed, no; they are situated to the X of the city.

I need, if it exists, that direction.

Thank you. Since you have completed the search, I don't have to.

Solcintra or not?

Seems to me Penny's suggestion is more like your recollection -- in Carpe Diem, the thirteenth chapter, headed LIAD: Solcintra Port, during Cheever's taxi ride. The cab goes out of the city, and he remonstrates, saying "Where I want to go's in Solcintra," and the cabdriver says "Then you do not wish to go to Trealla Fantrol." Though no Korval is involved in the conversation.

You're right -- that's closer to the conversation I thought I remembered, but what I needed was the direction.
