Gerry is correct; the other Vodalarii received the memories and loyalty
sentiments despite there not being enough brains for everyone each time,
nor did they enjoy Sev's wondrous gifts. Ultan, the best read man in the
Commonwealth, also confirms that memories can be gotten from non-brain
extremities, like fingers and hands.


I just hope they remembered to clean the maze this time.
