Does anyone have an idea how old Syl Vor is in this novel? (I've pegged him at "between 8 and 10", but I'm not all that certain…

An interesting point here is that the DOI appears to really have a beef with Korval specifically – whatever their Plan is, it is more than just subverting Liad.

Very enjoyable read! Rys is a gem; so is the Bedel culture. I sure hope to see more of these new characters in further books :)
