Something that has always bothered me is the fact that:
The Serenes Massacre happened 20 years prior to the events of Path of Radiance.
In Path of Radiance Sanaki is definitely NOT 20 years old. (I believe she is 10, but that number does not matter. Fact is that she is a child.)
Sanaki and Micaiah are sisters.
Therefore one or both of Micaiah's parents were not killed in the assassination related to the massacre.
They address the moment Sephiran stepped in and basically became Sanaki's dad (good job grandpa.) But I do not recall them addressing the death of Sanaki's birth parents.
This has bothered me for a long time but there is one specific reasonI bring it up.
DID MICAIAH ESCAPE THE FE PROTAG DEAD DAD SYNDROME????
We don't know if he is dead or deadbeat.
... typing that out I realize the word "dead" is in both of those choices.
Ok so he is DEAD to us, but is he dead?!?
