Snippet

"What do you want?" My voice was sullen and it shouldn't have been with the former King of Karathia. It didn't matter that he called himself Corolan, now. He should have been her father. Still counted himself as such, actually.
He'd appeared inside my tent on Falchan while I cleaned my blades. He hadn't said anything, yet; he merely sat easily on my cot and studied the sparse furnishings around him.
"Surprised you don't let your horse sleep at the foot of your bed," he said.
"Hmmph," I grunted.
"You're wondering why I'm here," he went on, while amusement lit his eyes. "Well, I have it on good authority from the current King of Karathia that Vardil Cayetes may be coming out of the shadows to reclaim his old empire."
"What's that got to do with me?" I growled. "You should go. I hear we may have a battle on our hands in the morning."
"Two small bands of marauders—that's from the current King's father, who can tell these things," he grinned. "You're not needed for that."
"Then what do you want me to do?"
"Go looking for Vardil." Corolan shrugged, as if any dolt would have figured that out by now.
"What's the ASD doing, sitting on their hands?"
"No. The ASD is hoping Zaria comes back to help with all this. They've exhausted their resources, looking for him already."
My heart constricted when he said her name. I'd kept myself immersed in blade work and battle to keep that name from my mind. Yet here he was, saying it as if it didn't make my soul bleed.

From the Snippet: " It didn't matter that he called himself Corolan, now. He should have been her father. Still counted himself as such, actually."

Guessing this refers to Zaria.

This got me to thinking about the end of Spellbreaker when Gale and Norn came out as Warlend and Wellend and one of the two was also known as Corolan?

So, this would make Wellend be Corolan who was one of Wyland's lovers... aka his brother?

I need to go back an re-read it again, but this what I am remembering.

Anyone else have a different memory or can clear this up for me. This reminds me of the end of the God Wars books, trying to sort out everything that happened.

Well, considering the circumstance ... was there a better way to keep an eye on your enemy than to become a trusted lover?

If Corolan had not been there when Ry took the throne ... there might not be any Karathian's left alive right now. Lissa and Reah's rampages would have been epic.

Incest is a little too freaky gross for me and I consider myself pretty open minded. I know Karathians have a dark side, but damn where does one draw the line?

What is Reah's reaction to this revelation?

Call me stupid but I thought Connie had answered that question already and told us there are 2 Corolans!

Funny enough I was right and I found it:

"The original Gale and Norn changed their names and became Corolan and Garek. Warlend and Wellend have taken many disguises and names through the years, to keep themselves hidden. They just happened to choose those two familiar names in their last incarnation before they revealed to everyone that they were still alive. Hope that helps. "

I am just relieved there was no incest involved!
Although the former redwing king and the redwing bitch were halfsiblings!
PS: I dont remember their names right now! Alzheimer?
