*sniff* Oh, that was heartbreaking. I admire Catelyn Stark for a great many things, but her treatment of Ned's bastard (in GoT-verse and this one) is despicable. It's the only thing that really makes me want to hate her.

I love everything about this universe...you fit Kahlan so perfectly into the Starks' history. I would have loved to see her be some powerful woman with a title and cronies of her own, but the story you've given her is just so perfect, down to the "stories" of her questionable parentage.

This was beautiful. If you ever feel the need to explore this 'verse further (perhaps when Cara keeps her promise, and they meet again?), I'm sure you'd have plenty of support. :D
