Talos |
Posted - 04 Nov 2008 : 16:43:00 My friend and I are at odds. I believe there was at least one novel in which a priest of Talos or a follower of Talos was a principal antagonist and he refutes this, stating that no Talassan cleric or follower has ever been a prominent character in a FR novel. Who is correct? We both have been reading FR novels since Darkwalker on Moonshae but we are in total disagreement over this.
Any help would be appreciated. |

No, you're thinking of a completely different person--I think her name was Sydney. |

-Nope. Wizard 18 / Cleric 9 (2e stats, of course).
Ahhhh...thanks! I'm at work and don't have the material to look at! |

Now I have to ask why we do not see more Talassans in FR novels.
Maybe few people (authors or novel "directors" at WotC) ever thought of it? Who knows... |

Destruction is part of the balance of life. If those praying are unworthy of the power then they deserve the end cycle of said balance. |

Posted - 04 Nov 2008 : 19:26:15 Thank you for the replies so far. I keep thinking that the second Moonshae trilogy, the Druidhome trilogy, had a priest of Talos as one of the principal villains in it but it has been so long since I last read it I can not recall.
Edit: AH! I thought it was the second Moonshae trilogy.
Now I have to ask why we do not see more Talassans in FR novels.

Posted - 04 Nov 2008 : 18:01:15 Druid Home Trilogy, the first book has a priest of Talos as the main antagonist I believe. |

Posted - 04 Nov 2008 : 16:57:12 I don't recall them figuring prominently, but there were a couple clerics of Talos in Paul S. Kemp's Twilight trilogy going on right now. |
