Er--_that_ heir was supposed to be Gregor and Laisa's first child. I'm sure
they'd have one right away, and undoubtedly a boy, but he isn't ever
mentioned that I could recall. If he's named traditionally, I suppose they'd call
him whatever Laisa's father's name is to avoid calling him Serg. (In the
debates about Gregor not being traditionally named, I've always just thought his
name must be Ezar Gregor, and he was called Gregor to distinguish him from
his grandfather.)
