Very Good Edge - you are correct on all parts!

Your turn!

1 & 3 possibly mean something to me, but I can't make anything of 2. (You clever puzzle people leave me way behind.)

Oooohh, now I get it -- Edge, you are so clever.

It's moi!

2) Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon

Excellent job, Edge!
And Dragonlily---beautifully done.
I am sure Edge will be here shortly to verify your deduction!
Start thinking of some clues. :D

1) comes from a book where he never finds a home
2) escapes lions by staying under their line of sight
3) dwells in the Source

Hmmm.....
Although I cannot say for sure about 1, since I never read Neverness, but doesn't Danlo continually wander?
2.......stays out of dANdeLION's view by being lo(w).
3.....ummmm......Mallory's?.......Neverness?........Ahira's Hangar?

Is it Edge??
I am stump-ed here. You are too clever with your clues for me this time .
I humbly submit to perhaps another hint?:Help:

Yes, please give another hint. I am completely stumped as well -- you are very clever with this one! :D
Love as thou wilt.

Well ... actually ... Edge is still working on it. He doesn't want any hints... at least not yet.

It isn't cleverness, it's just a weird associative mind. No one else's works quite like mine. :?

OK, hint. My preferred puzzle type is puns -- stretched ones.

Try each clue at a time. :-) What reasoning are you doing with them? ;)

the Seareach Giants are Unhomed, so I'm thinking someone Giantish

Lions might be a red herring, but being understone would definitely be out of the line of sight of them. Especially if they were firelions... hmm.
Dragonlily wrote:3) dwells in the Source
I'm honestly stumped by this clue, but I'm going to guess Seafoam Understone.

Dragonlily, tell me how I'm wrong. :lol:

Ur-bane guessed the right person but he didn't get there by following my thinking. The person is Danlo.
1) comes from a book where he never finds a home
Took his name from NEVERNESS, or "never nes(t)"
2) escapes lions by staying under their line of sight
Daniel in the lion's den, keeping a lo(w) profile.
3) dwells in the Source
Lives in Albuquerque, from whence cometh SRD and TCTC, the Source of Kevin's Watch.

I couldn't possibly expect anyone to figure this out. Go for it, Ur-bane.
:wink:

Ahhh...I was close in some ways, though.
So it is my turn :D....I will be back in a little while with some clues. :D

One month has gone by Ur-bane - what do you mean by "a little while?"
