| - According to Steven Brust and Tiassa, Devera's father is Kieron the Conqueror; she is conceived in a constructed node that is both the Paths of the Dead, and modern Dragaera, possibly Verra's Halls. Devera is apparently a shapeshifter of some sort, and she might therefore be the cat that appears in Verra's Halls. In Phoenix, the cat leads Vlad Taltos to Verra's throne room; later, Devera climbs into her grandmother's lap in what might be meant to be a somewhat catlike manner.

| - According to Steven Brust and Tiassa, Devera's father is Kieron the Conqueror; she is conceived in a constructed node that is both the Paths of the Dead, and modern Dragaera, possibly Verra's Halls. Devera is apparently a shapeshifter of some sort, and she might therefore be the cat that appears in Verra's Halls. In Phoenix, the cat leads Vlad Taltos to Verra's throne room; later, Devera climbs into her grandmother's lap in what might be meant to be a somewhat catlike manner. Aliera owns a white cat as well; it might be that this cat is, at times, not just a cat. One can never tell, with shapeshifters (or with Devera). Devera, when she appears, often seems to do so on the boundaries between worlds, (Morrolan's Window, Verra's Halls, in the mountain pass between Fenario and Faerie, etc.) or on the boundaries between levels of consciousness (when Vlad is badly injured, being tortured, and the like). Is this an ability or a restriction?
