    Spatterjay effect on humans

    I'm not sure it is all the old captains who suffered particularly; the ones who did are just the most likely to have a good story for Mr Asher to tell. The virus, once contracted, would serve to heal as it does, sustaining life, in a human who had a constant supply of 'normal' human food and...

    The Belgariad trivia

    Ah. It was the guy Belgarath challenged when he (supposedly) summoned the 'King of Hell' in the Karandan village by the lake. I'll have to do some re-reading to find the name - it is all in memory, but the recall function is playing up again. .

    The Belgariad trivia

    Were there not 'Urga' brothers of Urgit who needed to be disposed of to clear his way to the throne after the death of Taur Urgas? Something about dark cellars and throttling? .

    The Belgariad trivia

    That may be a bit like calling a lump of coal a 'young diamond'. It was a dive of the lowest order, a doubly-dangerous place with murderous clientele and probably poisonous rat beer. .

    The Belgariad trivia

    It was the old Grolim priest they met in Darshiva who had decorated his local temple with flowers after the fires refused to relight, and after the other priests had either killed each other off or drank themselves to death. I think he was blind, too. But I can't recall his name. .

    The Belgariad trivia

    It is. Then again, I never thought about non-English versions. I have no idea if the error was repeated in those. In Perivor Sadi sneakily killed Naradas who was then 'laid on a bier in the chapel of Chamdar.' Arends worshiping a dead Grolim priest? .

    The Belgariad trivia

    Thank you. I should add, for the question, that I'm not sure whether the mix-up is an author error or a printer's distraction. Though the printer would have to have been reading the series as he set up the press and just got lost in the story, losing sight of his highly professional trade, and...

    The Belgariad trivia

    Sorry. I forgot I had to pose a question if I got the right answer - which I wasn't at all sure I had. Here goes: which character mentioned first in the first installment, 'Pawn of Prophecy,' is mixed up and confused with a god in the final installment of Eddings's epic fantasy, 'Seeress of...
