Id think Zeranth would be at least as likely to not be Abduxuel's father as he is to be. Matron mothers aren't known for fidelity even if he had been her official consort for that long a time. I certainly know who he is but I'll wait to speak with Faeremhara before deciding Abduxuel's patronage. If he was the consort during Abduxuel's youth he is probably terrified of Abduxuel since he'd have influence with the raising of young male children and the priestess does not want reminders of those early years.</blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>Tarennar has been a local merc leader for some time, but for the last year he's basically attached his fortress to the Matron's and provides roughly half the servants and troops guarding both the House and the route to the city that the silk armor wagons take. He's also the only mortal that gives the Matron lip, infinitely respectful lip of course, but still lip.<br/><br/>As an aside while he provides about half the troops guarding the House he has many more, their just on merc jobs for other houses or merchants or the like.<br/><br/><br/>@Zear: would news of the attack have reached the caravan that Tarennar came to the city with in the first place? Or would he not find out till he got back to the House? For that matter, since their at the closest gate to the House, would the escort have seen the Matron and company flying over?
