I'm a little confused now - didn't you say that quote was something Chade said, implying it was Shrewd who had done/organised the 'tests' he was referring to? Wouldn't it be the other way around for any assassin tests/training?

I always heard the name Chade with a hard CH so now I'm doomed to be stuck with that even though it's wrong!
I say liveships as in 'alive' ..... and re Jamaillia, well I didn't even know there was more than one way to pronounce J !!! I say J as in jam....?
I also say CHAL-sid more or less..... well maybe CHAL-sed

A far-fetched concept... but the only one I can really think of.
Not so far fetched, I can certainly see this happening!
