Oops, that's what I meant!

Osondrea has two o's, the rest have one.

Actually, their first letters would be LMNOP if it wasn't for Variol not being Nariol.

Umm Variol's the only one TC didn't meet? He met Loric's ghost, I think.

No, he met Variol also.

Was going to guess along those lines... Mhoram is the only one who we don't know had a kid.

Prothall is the only one who retired as a High Lord

Variol is the only one to go from High Lord to Lord

Keep guessing... I'm not giving any hints quite yet

Only Loric started as a High Lord? As far as I know, seeing the Old Lord "Dynasty"

Only Variol died as a Lord, not a High Lord

Only Prothall died as nothing at all (Lord, HL, etc.)

Ok, here is a clue, don't worry about status or standing...

Loric's the only one to create a weapon
Loric's the only one who didn't swear an Oath of Peace

The Oath of Peace is an excellent point but not what I'm looking for...

Prothall - HL
Mhoram - HL
Loric -OHL
Osondrea - L
Variol - was also a HL


Loric is one of the old HIgh Lords son of Damelon giant-friend .. and the only one on this list that is an old high lord

Osondrea is the only female on this list .. and the only one that was never a High Lord

after that i am truly stumped ;) LOL

Osondrea was High Lord in between Prothall and Elena, so all of them were High Lords.
Variol was the only one who served on the Council with no Staff of Law available for Council's use?

Is Variol the only one who never used, touched, or even saw the Staff?
(Mhoram did not have it as High Lord but he did carry it back from Mount Thunder to Revelstone and he served under three High Lords -- Prothall, Osondrea, and Elena) who used the Staff.

Loric never had an assigned Bloodguard, in fact he never met a Bloodguard or Haruchai.

Yes, Duchess, you are correct. Loric held the Staff, Prothall wrested it from Drool, Mhoram carried it back to Revelstone where Osondrea used it as High Lord. Variol only heard tales of the Staff of Law...
