Part of tracking is to identify subtle clues to find the correct way to go, or to identify where a person has gone
Using the clues for each, give the identify of the six people (and their fate, assuming Lone Wolf fought them if necessary) and four places (and when Lone Wolf has visited them). PM me the answers.
1.
Answer: Arla, relative of Roark (book 6). If Lone wolf encountered her at Denka Gate, she will die - much to Roark's fury later!
2.
Answer: Kasin, brother of Paido. He sadly dies in Kazan-Oud helping Lone Wolf in book 7.
Explaination: I was not sure Kasin was a Vakeros, and so realised it might be a stretch. Later I re-read and saw that is explicitly refered to (his kin the Vakeros). Paido could have been an answer, since someone pointed out he does make the journey close to Kazan-Oud, but that is a stretch, especially combined with the lack of knowledge of Paido's part in the desert wars.
3.
Answer: Kaag, encountered in book 14
4.
Answer: Mogaruith, the Cener stronghold encountered in book 13
5.
Answer: Halgar Jarel, brother of Sebb Jarel, the man with the bullwhip! And Lone Wolf acquires it (and some nasty consequences) by killing the man.
6.
Answer: Zakhan Kimah. And allegedly he dies by Lone Wolf's hand in mortal combat in Tahou in book 9. Though I think a rogue meteor strike is more likely than winning with the Sommerswerd!
7.
Answer: The Lyrian capital of Varetta, encountered in book 6. Some people guessed Tahou, and while true it has red bricked outer walls, no reference is made to it being on a plateau, nor the buildings being red (I don't think...)
8.
Answer: Admiral Calfen, who died aboard the Durenese flagship in book 2
9.
Answer: That crafty Slavemaster met in book 12, he has no definite end, returning to Magador to beome President Kadharian
10.
Answer: The Graveyard of the Ancients, from book 1 of course!
