And lo! one whole POV section has been cut, with the essential plot-moving information from it moved somewhere else.

And lo!  Alured the Black, whom you recall from Paks I, has really got a case of grandiosity on and has changed his name to suit his new stature as Duke of Immer.  This is partly due to deeper analysis of his character and motivations and partly to remove another A character name.  At least partly remove it, since people who knew him as Alured still think of him as Alured until he makes a point (pun intended) of insisting that they call him by his new name.   I’m not sure enough of  the exact form of his new name to share it yet.

Short of time, so zipping back to work.
