The book of Jhereg (1999)
“THE BANQUET HALL OF Castle Black appeared the same as it had the last time. A few different faces, a few of the same faces, many faceless faces.

“Can you believe, boss, that Morrolan actually likes it this way?”
“You know Dragons, Loiosh.”
Kragar had taken an hour and had verified each of my guesses as regarded Mellar’s parentage. It seemed that his father had indeed been the one whose work had set off the second Dragon-Jhereg war, which Kragar had never heard of either. The references to it among the Lyorn records had been scattered, but clear. The thing had happened, and more or less as I’d been told.
Everything fit together very nicely. And I wasn’t a bit closer to figuring out what to do about it than I’d been the day before. That was the really annoying thing. All of this information really ought to be foo...d for something besides the satisfaction of solving a puzzle.MoreLess
