Muang/Marung is one of these examples, indeed. I did an interview with Nung Horongi before he died, as you might remember, and had started to publish his biography. However, there he spoke quite a bit about Muang as a Zorai student, and about himself as Muang's teacher at the university sensing his sleeping power. No family ties at all, but more a case of "mediocrity knows nothing higher but itself, but talent instantly recognises genius". So it's like that interview never happened, and there's danger that all I learned about him since Wyler was shot and Stevano abducted was fundamentally wrong - including, I'm afraid, everything connected to the amber cubes.
