December 19th, 2001 02:11 AM Well she is with people of the brotherhood at the end, so I think it's a safe assumption she was revived by Thoros the priest in a similar way to Dondarrion, that would make her a kind of zompie I guess.
December 19th, 2001 02:51 AM I think she just seemed dead (necrophania, I think is called), but she really wasn't; just her vocal chords were severed.
I hope Thoros and Berric have a greater role in the future books, there are alot of questions to be answered about them.
