Talk:Laris
From the Lyorn Records of the Dragaeran Empire
Laris gave Welok control? Sounds odd, Welok gave Laris control right? text ref?- Attjen
- As I recall, Kragar related the "rumor" to Vlad that it was indeed Laris who first ran the war against K'Tang the Hook, then gave control of the area to Welok when the war was over though "no one else had heard that"... This is one of the clues that Vlad uses to track Laris back to the Yendi Conspiracy folks, whose support presumably was what gave him the ability to run the war against the Hook in the first place.
- After reading Dzur, and seeing the inside sources of information that Kragar may have had access to, I'd be inclined to believe him on this point, though it is certainly all speculative--on Vlad and Kragar's part--that Welok got the area from Laris, and not the other way round. --Majikjon 18:02, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
As I recall, the gene-scan side of things was run exclusively by StY, tSiG & Baritt. StY, to make the first scan; Baritt, because they needed someone with an in on the Dragon Council to suggest someone else; tSiG, to actually pretend to be the someone else suggested who would perform the 2nd gene-scan. Bringing Laris in on this would serve no purpose, and would have just made the conspiracy weaker.
3 can keep a secret if 2 are dead, to quote somebody or other.

I seem to recall a comment near the end of Yendi that the only reason Laris got roped into killing Barritt was he had done "favors" for the conspiracy years before. I'll search for textev. --Majikjon 23:48, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
Yendi, Chapter 17 (page 315, omnibus):
"They already knew Laris, because he'd done some of the dirty work in arranging the fake genetic scan. When Barrit refused to cooperate, they had Laris kill him."
Seems pretty conclusive to me.

- Well, I still think it doesn't quite make sense, but I entirely concede the point. Sigh. --Davdi
- There's a lot about the end of Yendi that doesn't quite make sense to me, but even when Steve is a bit off his game, we kinda have to go with what he writes. Sigh. --Majikjon 17:45, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
