Rill.. but when she was crafting Tavi's potential into suppression, she said that Furies... plural ... around the steadholt would do it for her with but little thought on her part... why were there extra furies helping... we know that the furies in the steadholts are more violent and independant... stronger.... so why would these other furies be willing to help... unless perhaps they were drawn to Tavi's potential... and since they knew it was at this time in his best interest.... they helped...because they recognized his bloodline...

From the things Jim has said, Furies don't really have that much intelligence and independence of thought.  While someone like Isana might only have one main fury, any furycrafter can do things with the many myriad smaller furies imbuing the world around them.  The furylights are a good example.  All you have to be able to do is be heard by furies, and you can control the furylamps.  Similarly, Isana could use the lesser furies around the steadholt to help suppress Tavi.  Wouldn't even have to be only water furies.

Aequitas:
First, Now that Tavi has found his Furycrafting there's no reason for him not being proclaimed as heir, other then him becoming a target.
Second,  Recall that the First lord Gaius warned Tavi to be careful in his intimacy with the Margat "Kitai".
Third, Tavi will NEVER accept any future without Kitai as his mate.  She is bonded to him, even to the extent that she has developed Furycrafting.
Fourth, Isana and Fade have faced their past, and seem to have accepted their role are pair bonded/married.
Fifth, Isana will not stay in the camp of Aquitine, and Fade will support/defend her.
Sixth, Tavi allowed the female Canim to flee, he also has good links with Varg, as well as the leader of the Warrior caste, and this hints to some very interesting potentials.
Seventh, All, or all that were known of the canim seers/priests were slain, this may very well allow a dipomatic solution with Tavi acting as the Aleran emisary.

There are more points, but those are the ones off the top of my head.

I wish Jim had some good maps of his world.  Maps are a good thing, as is a glossary, espcially with a list of who's who.   

Aerhen:
my guess in that regard.. is that the first half of the book is going to be helping ot contain the Canim.. with the help of the Marat... and an eventual truce .. as u suggested.. and that the legion will be drawn off to the north... i dont think the truce will occur unless the Canim reveal why they left their homeland....  there is plenty of space for them near this area ... so it would be a nice settlement... and an end to the threat... remember.. the Canim were fostered to hate the alerans.. considering them a plague... the question is why.. and how this came about..

a potential interesting thought...

~12 day after NRS, Rescue Team Escapes with the Hostages, Kalarus is knocked out of the Sky, Gaius is Informed of the Hostages safety.(pg 389-390)
~ 20 days after NRS Kalarus is in Ceres with Brencis torching Orphanges.(pg 225)

that attack happened before the rescue, Kalarus was bringing home Brencis after miles nearly killed him.

LazerWulf:
Okay, I read Cursor's Fury not too long ago, and it seems a lot of you are missing a key point.

In CuF, Isana's flashbacks seem to indicate that she was pregnant during the siege at First Calderon (FC), which she says is 20 years ago (though this could be a round number). Chapter 47 seems to indicate that Tavi was born while they fled. In all probability, Octavian was born on the exact same day Septimus died.

Isana stunted Tavi's growth to make it seem like he couldn't be Septimus' heir. He was never called short for his age because Isana lied about that, too, making people think that he was born after FC. However, some survivors of FC would have known she was pregnant, and known Alia wasn't, so to make the ruse complete, she claimed that her own pregnancy was miscarried, and that Alia was Tavi's mother. Alia wasn't around to refute it, and Araris/Fade had just as much reason to protect Tavi as Isana. It's unknown how long they were in hiding, probably long enough so that Bernard wouldn't have to be let in on the ruse. However, Isana couldn't hide the fact that Alia was dead for long, so Tavi's presumed birth date is probably no later than a year after his actual birth date.
