Great article! I agree with yo completely on this. Building a solid historical line is very important for any story to carry on.

These posts are the best gift ever! Thank you for taking the time to share them with the world. I'm learning so much.

I like the scene where Jikun gives his wolf to Kaivervi after hers is killed by the thakish. Probably the height of my liking Jikun.

The scene of Navon battling Saebellus' beast in Sel'ari's temple is one of the most exciting.

My favorite tidbit has to do with identities.

My favorite character is Itirel. He's the only one about which I've never thought, "What an ass!" or "What an idiot!"

Bonus answer: Character I would most love to strangle, Book one -Ilsevel. Book Two - Jikun

I had read all the info on the interactive map here on the site (a great source of clues!) So I recognized what he was right away. Loved Jerah's interaction with him, and the moral compass Wratherus showed belies the opinion other Aersadoreans have of his species.
