Wait what? [[Constance]] was from the Mountains?? Our wiki claims she has roots in Shoaks and Bearns, do you have contradictory information?
I've always just assumed Fitz' Wit came from his mother, as so many of the Mountain folk seem to be Witted (they just call it ~meditation~ ) - I'm pretty sure not only Kettricken but also Rurisk had it, although neither of them are especially strong in it, possibly because they're unaware of what can be done/haven't been trained. (And of course we consider them to not be very strongly witted, because we always compare everything to Fitz, who is super strong in both of his magics.)
