<div>I have a question for you guys, and hopefully you can offer me some insight here. I am on my umpteenth reread of TSotT, and I only just realized what a great risk Vodalus takes when he, Hildegrin, and Thea rob the grave in the necropolis. My next thought was: Why would he take such a risk? Or, for Whom? Whose corpse did they take? Obviously, they wanted a particular person's body, or else why would they go so far out of their way and (again) take such a risk? And does Thea's presence there indicate anything? Perhaps a member of her family was their target. Why else would she tag along on such a dangerous mission? Couldn't possibly be Thecla's body, as that was my first thought. Sorry, but this is driving me up the wall! Thanks to all in advance. If I come up with a good theory on the subject, I will post it, but so far I have nothing.
