In Crown of Vengeance, there is the paragraph where Vielle wakes from a dream of the past. She is wondering why the High King and his queen's children would have to flee from the royal city. It's mentioned that they are considered tainted and unclean. My question has to do with that, why did the ancient elves believe Pelashia's children were tainted?

That is a question that will be answered in great detail in SCOURGE.

HINT: Pelashia Celenthodiel is not who everyone thinks she is...

Drat, was hoping that it'd be answered in Blade. Now that she had found and claimed the High King's city and all.

Sorry! BLADE and SCOURGE are very closely-related books, though: if Tor had given me the same elbow-room I got in the Obsidian Trilogy, they could've been one book.

The High King's city isn't as important as the Flower Forest around it, though...

Hopefully they'll have Blade published by the end of the year. Looking forward to reading it.

That's looking less likely, as BLADE's editor hasn't yet deigned to read it. Sorry.
