Exactly! Congratulations - your question! :)

My thanks to you, Sanity! 8)

My question is: When King Joyse gives Lebbick permission to interrogate Terisa, what does he say she must be made to do? :?:

Either this question was too hard, or just too easy. :?

Well, I'll wait another week, and if IS or somebody doesn't post the answer, I'll try to come up with a new question.

That's a pretty decent guess, Skyweir, but that's not it! Sorry!

Oh, heck, I promised to give the answer and post a new question by this point in time, didn't I? Well, the answer is that King Joyse told Castellan Lebbick that Terisa must be made to declare herself.

So, okay, here's the new question:

According to Artagel, who is "the smart one in the family"?

Yep. I knew it, I just figured my hint (which practically answered the question) would surely be enough for someone else to pick it up.

I am struggling to remember .. were her eyes green? I recall that she had a gown the colour of her eyes or that enhanced the colour of her eyes.

As for Geraden were they blue or brown LOL :lol:

🤷‍♀️ I got the books out and tried to find it but failed .. I will continue looking but maybe someone else will recall

I think their descriptions are given very early on, maybe even in the introduction.

Geraden eyes are called '(intent) brown eyes' while they talk in her apartment before venturing into Mordant (pg. 25.) Maybe there's a more detailed description elsewhere.

Interesting that both our heroes have varying shades of brown to both their eyes and hair. A hint that they're ordinary people thrust into greatness by need and circumstance.

Edit to add - I made a search in a digital edition of the books, Avatar, and the word 'hazel' doesn't appear a single time for the entire duology. So Geraden's eyes can't be hazel. :roll:
