I get the impression they're all sorcerers of some type. Am I right?

Port of Shadows (Spoilers)
by John Dallman 11 Feb '19

11 Feb '19

There's a major inconsistency between the past thread of PoS and the end of The White Rose, in that PoS portrays Doratea Senjack as having died and never properly recovered from that, remaining in the Ghost Country thereafter, while WR has Naming the Lady as Doratea Senjack as being effective. If we treat WR as a reliable narrative, then the key to the problem is a quote from Soulcatcher On p. 164 of The Black Company: "Didn't you know that she murdered her twin sister when she was fourteen?" I think that was a cover story, and in fact, the whole of the past thread of Port of Shadows is the details of what happened behind that cover story. However, it has elements of deception, being another layer of cover story. It goes like this: Credence and Doratea were the two younger Senjack sisters. One of the two older sisters became Soulcatcher. Credence is the one who was actually killed and imperfectly resurrected, Doratea is the one who went looking for her, found her, was taken to the Ghost Country, came back, became The Lady, and did her best to confuse the issue of who was who. All the details of the necromancer, life in the Ghost Country, and so on ultimately come from her, and may be part of the deception. -- John Dallman, jgd(a)cix.co.uk
