Guys, nearing the end of 2nd chrons, and I've just read something that didn't sit to well.
Findail.
He Did not look at Covenant or Linden, ignored Sunder's bunched and single-minded grief. Instead he addressed Vain for the first time since the appointed had joined the company
For the first time? Surely not. Not sure which "company" SRD is referring to but I recall Findail having a chinwag with Vain when he appears on Starfares Gem... 500-odd pages before the quote above. He definitely addresses him.
Findail appeared to expect no response. He shifted his attention to Vain. His tone tightened. 'To you I say, No.' He pointed rigidly at the centre of Vain's chest, and the muscles of his arm stood out like a whipcord. 'Whatever else you may do, or think to do, that I will not suffer. I am appointed to this task, but in the name of no duty will I bear that doom.'
From mind Findail has clearly "joined" the company on the dromond. And he clearly addresses Vain, so why does SRD make specific reference to it being the "first time"? An oversight? Or does he break the different groups that go through the chrons into different companies? i.e. everyone on the dromond are one company, and the group that have assembled to take on Lord Foul at the very last, another company? thoughts?
