I guess next time, I'll just listen to Wayfriend! 
I love SRD's answer though.
Sometimes I have that same feeling.

Is Hile Troy, Caer Caveral, *really* dead?
(I don't have the book with me so I don't know if there's a quote that answers this for me.)
He was a man before the Forestal turned him into a tree/proto-Forestal.
The breaking of the Law of Life required a great deal of Earthpower, evidentaly the total sum of the Last Forestal.
But why then wouldn't Caer Caveral have reverted back to human upon his "death"?
Wouldn't that tranformation power have been exhausted as well?
And would the breaking of both the Law of Life and Death actually help to preserve his existance in some way?
Could Troy have "regenerated" over the centuries into something different?
Any thoughts?

Troy is dead. He might be summoned back as any of the Dead can.
I don't think he can become alive again without a great expenditure of power. But I don't think it's impossible.

Again, I love how names mean so much in these books.
Sunder breaks the law of life by striking Caer-Caveral.

Damn, mortem, that's cool. I never thought about that. I always assumed his name referred to the fact that he was "sundered" from his family, his Stonedown, and his previous convictions about the nature of reality. |
