Lief can't leave the island, which is why I think Emily switched to a new caste for this story. If he tried to leave, the belt would get so hot it might kill him (Isle of the Dead). A cameo, though, is not out of the question. After all, who better to ultimately wield the immense power that i am supposing the Crown has than the wielder of the Belt? or at least, who better to teach the wielder how to control such power? What kind of powers do you think the crown might have? controlling sea serpents? telepathy?

Also, i wonder if, when we see Lief again, we might see an even more complete picture of the power of the belt. After all, even now we don't know the full extent of it's power, as Lief seems to be the only king to have experimented with the belt since Adin. For example, if it can enhance Toran magic like it did in the Isle of the Dead, could it grant the wielder some basic magics as well? Or how about the telepathy that Reeah exhibited? was that the Opal? Is the only power of the Lapis to grant luck? It seemed to have some kind of influence over the weather in the Shifting Sands.
