Perhaps you havn't met this circumlocution before but I've always read "gone" in that line as *dead*. As in "GONE to meet his Maker" or "Not lost but GONE before." I've never read it as physically gone, vanished, etc just that the companion died at the same time.

The "also" in that sentence is probably key, as in the Companion, like Jadus, was ALSO "gone." Since no one has ever implied that *Heralds* just fade away and disappear, that probably implies that the Companion died just like Jadus, corpse and all.

(if that sounds callous, sorry, but nature does have a way of taking care of it.) In a message dated Tue, 31 Oct 2000 12:32:52 PM Eastern Standard Time, "David H.

Windrider is a symbol.  It's the winged horese on Valdemars crest.  It's like
our Statue of Liberty in America.  They're even wearing broken chains for the
same reason.
