Several duchies were destroyed utterly.

nonsentients
Liam
Stop using non-sentient. It doesn't mean what you think it does. Animals — and monsters, here — know what they are and where they fall in the universe's heirarchy. That makes them sentient beings. Even insects and bugs are sentient — ants being a great example of that.

Well that clears up the confusion I had in book 5 (or maybe book 4).

The chaos seed well remembered holding a grieving mother as she mourned the loss of her child.
Liam
This confuses me. At the battle, Petal has a mother. When Richter meets Petal's father, he tells Richter that Petal's mother died during childbirth. Is the woman her stepmother, or is this just another inconsistency of the series?

It has only been three weeks.
Liam
29 days is 3 weeks? And this month has 39 days? I understand this planet he's on is much larger than Earth, but how long are the weeks here? 10 days? Alston, if you happen upon this note, I'd love to see a calendar for The Land, because I'm a nerd for numbers.
