"Well, there's the Vorpatrils," he says, amused - they are in fact the very next set of entries. "And, let's see... Byerly Vorrutyer is a mildly infamous town clown; if he shows up it'll be to get drunk on our wine, so he should be a likewise safe option. I'm not so sure about the other Vorrutyers on the list." He looks over the names that remain. "Doubt Vortaine is going to come... Vortala I'd expect to express open support, and even believe himself when he does it, but he's not as open-minded as he might like to think. I remember he founded that progressive party of his, trying to work for equality between the classes, and he never thought to include anyone who wasn't a Vor. Bit of a gap in his logic there."
