Trivia / Dragaera

• Creator Breakdown: Brust began treating the Jhereg more negatively after a friend was murdered by the Mafia, and also wrote a novel where Vlad's marriage was dissolving while he was experiencing the same thing.
• Defictionalization: As fits the series' Food Porn tendencies, available merch includes copies of Valabar's menu from Dzur. Many fans have tried to recreate these and other mouth-watering recipes Vlad describes, with equivalent Earthly substitutions for things like kethna or goslingroot. Klava is a particular subject of interest, although no one recipe has been settled on.^note It may be an appropriate case of Life Imitates Art: Issola brings up the fact that there are several different ways of making it, including using different types of wood chips to impart different flavors from the various oils, so having different real life recipes would be keeping with the theme.
