I have some miscellaneous questions about The Codex Alera:

Which era (or eras) of Roman history did Jim have in mind when describing clothing, armor, and weaponry in Codex Alera?

What is Fade's brand supposed to look like?

Did Cereus Veradis attend the Academy at the same time as Tavi, Max, and Ehren?

Have any general layouts / blueprints of Bernardholt and Garrison (circa Furies of Calderon) ever been published?"

How long had been observing in Alera Imperia before he was assigned to catch her?

How tall is the Aleran Shieldwall?

Are taurgs based on any kind of real animal?
