I mean, they had to have died on Earth, since thier children lived to
produce Jason (what kind of parent would leave thier children behind).
They also had to live somewhere, otherwise they'd become vassals or
subjects to some king and that would be documented somewhere
and we would already know about it, since they'd probably watch
Jason, knowing who his family was right?
My theory is it's tied into Arcadia. They must have some sort of bubble
like the PPG in which they lived, and are able to close/hide well the
opening, i mean The empress has yet to find it too.
Once again for those new or ones that have forgotten ....
Quoting from Fels post
http://sennadar.plebian.net/forum/viewt ... =6900#6900
A handful of Karinnes not on Karis survived the eradication of the house and were too far away to be reached by assassins, a research expedition conducting research on a distant planet, a planet at the rim of space explored by the Faey, with no spacefaring race beyond to claim it...open space. Instead of returning to Faey society and going into hiding, they decided to simply leave the Imperium and take their chances out in the wilderness. So they took their ship and left, heading out into that unexplored space.
And they eventually found Earth.
They landed in southwest Scotland, in an uninhabited region of the lowlands that's now called Dumfries, and they took immediate steps to ensure that they'd never be found if their enemies came looking. Everyone else thought they were dead, and they were very careful not to give away the fact that they weren't. They landed on Earth, left everything behind (even their clothes), and then sent their ship up on autopilot to fly into the sun, leaving absolutely no trace that Faey had ever landed on Earth except for the Faey themselves, who immediately went into hiding. They came to Earth with absolutely nothing.
There were 67 Faey in that ship. They were the nobles, researchers, scientists, and the support crew and workers that had been with them. Given that these Faey were well versed in both science and "roughing it" out in alien ecosystems, they managed to survive, even thrive, in their new environment. They kept to themselves, avoiding the native population, but that isolation eventually broke down over time, as the fear of a Faey warship appearing in the sky lessened over time, and they came to know that they were safe. They began to interact with humans, and then intermarried. Eventually, the pure lines of the Faey died out, leaving only their crossbreed descendants behind.
Also from the Same Post are these tidbits about Jasons Sister and the Kimdori that make more sense now
And Jason's "sister?" Well, she's real enough, and also of Jason's line, descended from Gora's older brother, who married a Merrane noble and had children, but died before the war began. The sister Miaari told him would appear is a Faey descendent of Jason's root ancestry, a noble in another house. She's a Merrane; and no, she's not the Empress, so don't go there. She's just one of the tens of thousands of Merrane nobles, a minor noble in title only that works for the Imperial government, but she's unique the same way Jason is. She's one of the last descendents of the Karinne nobles.
And Jason will sense her the same way he senses Kimdori. That is how he will know her.
Jason's unique ability to sense Kimdori isn't normal among Faey, and as most suspect, does involve the Kimdori. Jason doesn't have a Kimdori ancestor, but we can say that the Kimdori did have something of a hand in his family line that caused them to develop this ability. The House Karinne and the Kimdori were bound together in many ways, as the Kimdori were helped by the science of Karinne, and Karinne earned the respect and friendship of the Kimdori in return. The reason they're helping him is tied up in this. The Kimdori feel that they owe a great debt to Jason's family, a debt that they thought would never be paid after Karinne was destroyed. Helping Jason now is a way to repay that debt, but they can't overstep their own laws, as well as oaths and agreements they have with other houses in the Imperium, and the Imperium itself. They can't directly interfere, so they're doing their damndest to indirectly interfere.
In case you were wondering <grin>
