No Alerans have spent any length of time in the blood lands of the Canin to our knowledge. It was when he was 5, and Tavi showed his fury craft after he had been away from Isana's negative influence for 5 years.)Ĭould it be that due to his job he hasn't had time to get to know the more temperamental county furies that are around him for these two years, and that if he went home he might have better luck with furies he had grown up with? Or because he had never had any fury craft maybe they weren't even really aware of him and he'd have the same problems as with the ones near his command?Īnd here is an interesting thought. (Remember the conversation between Gauis and Fidelias, where he asks when Septimus first showed his fury craft. He's technically a 7 year old when it comes to furies. Could it simply be that he hasn't been practicing his crafting long enough only two years. ![]() He hasn't found a fury that is attracted to him.
