Here it is, 'thul, all ready and waiting for your insights Smiling !
Thankies...

These beings did enjoy the story, especially now that we noticed the comment above that Ronica Vestrit was a Carrock... They had been unable to place that family name...

Now as for the questions above... The dragon and the (elderling) woman are probably still there, considering that they would be too big to move, and how far away they got when getting out of the ruined city...
Whether the dragon is carved of memory stone or not is not known, but it is possible... It could merely be a regular statue...
As for whom it represents... Most likely one of the so-called "Harlot queens" or an Elderling queen.

The fact that the city was slowly buried, rather than buried in a momentary cataclysm explains why this city alone was built like a hive, rather than as separate buildings (like Kelsingra)... They knew what was happening, but they couldn't prevent it...

Our question is:
Are the Carrocks a rain wilds trader family, or a Bingtown trader family?
If the former, did her husband die traveling (lord Carrock)?
If the latter, did she and her family move to Bingtown later, or did her family take up a different name?
I was all ready to send my reply but have to check something first. You've got me thinking!!

That. Was the idea.
Ok, a very rapid reply as I sit here choking on a chicken and tomato sandwich for a quick lunch P !

Will amend this later but no time to filter the spoilers from the non-spoilers! **Liveship Trader Spoilers**
Gotta go Smiling !
Another possibility: Ronica Vestrit is a descendant of a different branch of the Carrock family, who moved to the Rain Wilds to be with their exiled family. This would explain the 'sold all'.
It could also be a change from what Hobb originally wrote...
Hello!

Can anyone who read the story in English tell me the name of the daughter of Carillon's friend? (the one she shares her construction work with, who has two daughters and a son). I read the story in French (much easier to get since it's been published as a book) and would like to know whether I'm translating the name correctly. Smiling

Cheers,
Aimée
Well met and welcome to thePlenty, Aimée! I am away from home so don't have my copy of 'Homecoming' with me...sorry! Hopefully someone else can help. I can't even remember Carillion's friend's name...is it Sewet, the weaver P ?

Alternatively, if you don't hear from someone else soon, you could go and compare your translation with all of the names in the character lists on the wiki. Be warned that there are 'plenty' of spoilers on the wiki though!
