This would also give Dayna somewhat better reasons for her homicidal

If she was avenging foster-mother, fighting people who had murdered her foster-sister's family the same way her biological mother and family had been murdered, her actions make much more sense. So does what happened to Laran. If she was some kind of lost heir, she was a threat as long as she lived. Also, it kind of gives a new meaning to her rejoining her people.<
Makes sense. It always seemed strange to me that they would kill her rather than force her into marriage.
1/ Why assume that they *would* force her into marriage? We know next to nothing about Sarran women.
2/ A more likely explanation is that they would kill her because she had been "contaminated" by outsiders and they feared that contamination. The prophecy, remember.
