re. Review of Deerskin

There are a couple of clues that lead one to believe that this might be the same world as HERO AND THE CROWN and THE BLUE SWORD. For instance, Lissar mentions that she and Ash catch ootag while up in the mountains, and that same animal is mentioned in THE BLUE SWORD. And, of course, there is Ossin's recounting of the historical story of Aerin's slaying of Maur, wherein he mentions that it happened very long ago and very far away. So did it really happen in the same country? The question remains open.
