If you can show me where it is incorporated into the context of possibly 
observable by the fictional characters of the Short Sun books, sure. For 
example, stuff that happens in the Amber books could excusably happen in 
the Vlad Taltos books, because Steven Brust incorporated Corwin's 
hellride encounter with a horseman in grey as the grey-wearing Vlad's 
encounter with Corwin.
