One of the fundamental speculations about the Lavode Scandal is that it probably involved the revelation of Sethra being undead. This implies a few things:
- That being undead was generally uncommon, and perhaps Sethra was one of the first, if not the first
- That the Court reacted as one would expect, with horror
- That Sethra was banished from court (possibly for the first time, but having lived as long as Sethra has, and being the type of person she is, this seems unlikely)
- That the edicts against undead holding Imperial office likely date from this event.
Going a bit further, one might wonder about her being a Vampire, and how reaction to that bit information might have been received.
Also, G'aereth and Sethra were friends, and yet he comes out of the scandal in a good position? Interesting.
