Hello Lisa! :wave:

It feels a bit strange welcoming someone to the Watch who has been a member much longer than I have! The books didn't change my life, but they certainly enhanced it.
I am playing all the right notes, but not necessarily in the right order!

Greetings, Lisa. I have to admit these books changed my life as well... I now have a whole forum where people talk about me.
Lisa wrote:Now even Covenant seems young to me (unimaginable as that once was).
At his thousands of years of age? At the risk of being impolite, though that's hardly my most horrible vice, are you practicing necromancy or anything of that kind? :twisted:
I have many names... and may play many roles

So that it's clear: I'm not the Lord Foul who was on the Watch before, from 26.10.2002 to 16.06.2012

Corruption, had you delved into the background information revealed by our new-member-of-long-standing, you would have learned that she shares some practices common to the two moderators of this forum.

Lisa, chag sameach!

True enough, Av.

Still, my co-mod will attest that such is my habit. If there is a trail to follow, my preference and profession is to follow it as far as possible within the bounds of public record and member's self-revelation. You may call it stalking, but there are other less pejorative names for it. I prefer to think of it as information gathering.

Menolly does call it stalking, though. :oops:

Hello all ~

I read the first and second chronicles in high school. It has been one of the most original and though provoking series that I have enjoyed. just finished The Runes of the Earth and am hooked once again. Nice to see SRD mention this site in his acknowledgements.

Now, a question. Esmer is apparently the son of Cail and the merewives (Dancers of the Sea), it is never mentioned which merewife...is his mother unknown, or do they not have individual indentities, or is it just not germain to the story?

If this is answered in the following books just let me know that. I am a curious critter.

peace~ gratefulheart

Welcome to the Watch, gratefulheart!

Excellent question. As far as I can recall, there is never an individual identity mentioned for the merewife who bore Esmer. Perhaps it is said, but I don't think so...this probably falls under the heading of "SRD only invents what he needs for the story he is telling."

May you thrive here, and contribute.

Greetings, gratefulheart. I admit I didn't have much interest for Cail's affair with the merewives and anyway was proccupied at that time, large thanks due to everyone's favourite leper hero.

Savor, Dam, doesn't it feel good to be out-niced by Lord Foul in something?

Welcome, gratefulheart.

I really should make an effort to be more welcoming and engage in small talk more often. This is contrary to my typical nature, mind you, but I do need to begin making the effort.
