Nearly a year later, I'm still enjoying Rebecca's impressive contribution to the Watch. The organic feel of Calm Horizons also has an insect-handiwork feel to it, perhaps reflecting the hive mentality of the Amnion, "one-for-all" pursuing the goal of expanding the race. It's got a bit of ...

Hmmm...guessing it's something to do with "doing things naturally".
(Will have to think on it and Nick's motives at that point in the story just a bit more, I suspect.)

Thank you, IS!

Next MN trivia puzzler:

Who first identifies Terisa's attackers as being from Cadwal based upon a sigil they all wore?

You are very welcome, IrrationalSanity!!! And I agree with you that the Tor is one of the most important characters in the story, just maybe slightly less so than Terisa, Geraden, Master Eremis, and King Joyse.

16 years old is the correct answer. Congratulations to you, Avatar; it is now your Gap Quiz question!

The Tor went on fighting anyway, long after he had lost his strength and his balance and even his reason. A blow for his son. A blow for his Care. And now a blow for King Joyse. Then back to the beginning again. A blow for everyone he had ever loved, everyone who had ever died. For some reason, the...

From chapter 47 of the Mordant's Need story: "My lord King." The Tor tried to reach his feet against the physician's restraining hands. His voice sounded as thin as a light breeze in cornshucks. "I must speak." As thin as a light breeze in cornshucks. An imaginative analogy from ...

Aside from his previous pitiful scenes of extreme drunkenness, this moment is the one scene where the Tor does something I don't like that much--whipping his horse for not doing what it simply could not do--yet I understand the Tor's urgency behind the actions, for he and Ribuld desperately need to ...

The Congery's champion Darsint determined to walk toward the slug beast, and after getting pelting with rocks and stumbling stubbornly forward, comes to the front of the slug beast and rockets launches himself into its mouth and down its throat! :screwy: :crazy: And then once inside the ol' slug-bea...

Thank you for the clever question and the provided quote, Savor Dam, and thanks to StevieG for the encouragement!

My question:

What physical age does young Davies Hyland appear to be once the Amnion have finished growth-enhancing him?

Thank you for sharing your photos, SoulBIter & Fist and Faith!

Yes, I miss I'm Murrin's posts!

Right after that dramatic reunion, King Joyse, Princess Elega, and Prince Kragen enter into a long discussion about what has happened to each of them, and on what they plan to do, involving Terisa, Geraden, Barsonage, and Norge in that discussion as it went on for some minutes. Ribuld puts the Tor t...

...To make it easier for the United Mining Companies Police to track the whereabouts of Trumpet?

Yes!!! Well done! I don't know about Eremis' slug-beast being a translated Nicor , IrrationalSanity, but I suppose it's possible that at least one of the magical mirrors of Mordant could have been focused on a place in the Land's world, so could be ... ;) :) You have answered the question correctly,...

Here's another attempt at resizing a self-portrait, taken a few minutes ago as I get ready to go out to dinner (I set my phone upon a stand and set a timer).
