Going through a dictionary of classical mythology today, I was reading the entry on Valeria and discovered that Valeria, due to madness or just plain out of spite to her husband, often worked in a brothel. We have a brothel in the BotNS, not too far from Valeria's house, so is it possible she has a tie to the House Azure? Christopher R.
