Bannor is the only one to lay hands on TC? (Restraining him, charging at Elena)

None of you have found my reason yet, but the things you are saying ARE right. :)
I will give you another clue. When he does the thing I am thinking of, it seems very insignificant at the time, but it is something that, to my knowledge, we never see another bloodgaurd OR Haruchai do. It becomes more signicifcant in the second chrons, as it helps explain how the haruchai know so much of the Land in former days, and why they so often invoke the name of Bannor as the one who taught their people...
Love as thou wilt.

Ah!!
he began to recite something in the native tongue of the Haruchai.

Bannor asks for Covenant's aid/ entreats him to use wild magic in saving Elena. Did any other bloodguard ever ask for help, ever?

He also keeps the marrowmeld sculpture and gives it to Mhoram at Gallows Howe

Fist got it. Bannor is an oral historian/bard/teacher of his people. :D
He starts reciting things in his native tongue to get the boat to move in escaping Earthroot. 8)
Everyone made some wonderful guesses, though. :D

I love it over at Lord Mhoram's board because it really does spark good discussions over there. :) Hopefully it will do the same here. :)

Is Foamfollower the only one of those four who never touched the ring?

Linden, she's a girl and she's from "our" reality. Not of the Land.

Or, Kasreyn. The other three were allies and friends of Covenant's. He was not.

I don't know that Bannor actually touched the ring either. Certainly the hand, as when he placed it onto the Staff of Law to summon the Fire-Lions, but he might not have actually touched the ring. But am I forgetting another scene where he definitely touched it? In any event, that's not the answer I'm after.

Nor are your guesses, Fire.

Heh, shouldn't ask a question like this with a dromond listening!
Kaseryn - He is the only one not to travel in a boat with TC.

Dromond, that answer is so cool that I wish it was the correct one!!!

OK, the Odd Man Out is the only one not guessed so far. :) Yes, back for a return performance is Bannor! :D :D

Now what are your guesses?

Bannor was the only one to know Kevin
the only one to ride a ranyhyn
the only one to go to Earthroot
he heard Lord Kevin's Lament

he is the only bloodguard or haruchai mentioned
Is he the only character mentioned in all 6 books?
