No Biochemical Barriers: The atmosphere of Raphicca is suitable for humans, and Simon lived there for seven years, so he had to have been given food and water during this time. |

comment |
The Coroner Doth Protest Too Much: The old king's death is claimed to be as a result of him being gored by a wild espar, while in reality it was due to Tor stabbing him. Ragis realizes that this is a coverup when it is pointed out that the body only had one puncture wound, while an attack by the beast would have left two. |
