[quote=@TheDuncanMorgan] [@Kho] Depends, would you say Daeron views Aulus as his son? [/quote] Yeah, Aulus is more or less part of the family - enough for him to view Hemala as his sister and vice versa. Daeron also seems to have wished for Aulus to be at his side when the time is right. But I only ask the question because the new rank system doesn't seem to take Barons into account, and that leaves me wondering what Aulus is now. He's technically the head of House Eskandar (a very minor house) and nominally/titularly Lord of Castle Cramz.
