The quiz knows best! XD Apparently I'm supposed to become Overlord of the West and marry myself. Hahaha

Nice advice YeOldeWolf. Unfortunately when I revived this thread I missed the fact that he posted this in May and has most likely turned in the assignment already. :-D

Polgara can only be portrayed correctly by Catherine Zeta Jones Angelina Jolie would be an insult

im garion then ce'nedra

the problem with this question is that not only is this a fictional world, but the orb originally comes from space in a distant galaxy (the orb and the sardion being from the star that blew up) still it may be possible to answer this question to some extent lets compile what we know: the orb...

how so?

the purposes aren't finished, the purposes just come back together to form the original purpose that split up when The Accident happened the sardion and the orb were part of the star that started the accident (the accident being that galaxy that blew up) and seperated at the same time as the...

belgarath's insight into Torak is weak in comparison to the one done in Polgara the Sorceress after i read the parts about torak in that book he was my favorite villan zakath comes next

I've been re-reading the books and I just caught my error on the Margrave/Margravine thing this morning. I did happen to find some surnames, though. The Borunes, Honethites, Horbites, Anadiles, Vorduvians, etc., all from the Tolnedran empire. Also in Polgara the Sorceress, there is a family line...

You seem to forget Margravine Liselle and her uncle, Margravine...something. Also King of the Murgos, Taur Urgas, and King of the Nadraks, Drosta lek Thun. Almost forgot, the Gar in Belgarath, Polgara, and Garion is just coincidence. If anything it would be the Bel or Pol that comes close to...

The Tolnedrans - effectively the Roman Empire at the height of its power, with minor name and theology changes. The Mimbrates - 12th Century France or Normandy - specifically drawing on Knights, chivalry, Arthurian legends, and archaic speech (thee, thou), with feudal politics. The Asturians -...

The Iron Tower It's a compilation of three books by Dennis L. McKiernan. I love those books. You should read his other tales of Mithgar. I haven't gotten around to all of them but I'm sure they're as good as the first three I've read.

I hope there isn't a movie because it would be bad. Key parts of the story would end up being cut out. Not to mention the cast. There are some characters with no one who can play them, mostly because of image. The only characters with actors/actresses that look like them are: Polgara: Catherine...

I didn't mean that a writer should add flaws to seem like a good writer. I should've said that a good writer knows when to add flaws to use them to interact with the other characters. Also, I didn't mean to imply that a character's flaws balance out their personality.

I find it funny that you've got us doing your homework.

Sorcerers live for as long as they need to. They aren't going to be immortal if they have already accomplished their role in the prophecy. In regards to who rules, you could say that each king will rule until the purpose that governs everything deems the prince ready to rule. Obviously it is a...

I have the book Polgara the Sorceress right in front of me so I'm going to leave a few paragraphs. That subterranean little game Aunt Pol and her father had played with each other for centuries and produced a surprise winner, a winner they hadn’t even realized was taking part in their game...

How can you conclude that he doesn't like women just because you don't like the way his characters are? The thing is, not every character is going to be perfect. Those flaws are what defines a good writer. A good writer gives his characters flaws and uses them to mesh with all his characters...
