Jordan could have easily added that to her backstory after LOC. It's been at least ten years. Rurouni_Kenshin Send a noteboard - 28/09/2009 09:46:34 PM

Caraighan Maconar has been mentioned several times previously, so I'm sure he left a paragraph or two on her.

She was not simply mentioned, there was a Glossary entry about her. Why would RJ withhold such irrelevant information about a long dead character from us?
When the Wolf King carries the hammer, thus are the final days known. When the fox marries the raven, and the trumpets of battle are blown.
