To be honest, I cannot recall when and where _exactly_ Astera and Kernos are mentioned. However, they seem to be around Talia, Kero, Tarma, and Kethry in my memory most often. >> Generally around Valdemar, I think... the invocations that I recall appearing most often are "Bright Astera" and "Kernos' Horns". I know Selenay has said "Bright Astera!" more than once. << What is your favorate top five names of Misty charachters? (while I'm thinking of names anyway I was just curious) >> Names? Hmmm... tough one. In no particular order... Tannim. I'm not sure why. It just sounds cool. Tal Rufen. I adore the name Tal, and have ever since I read Frank E. Peretti's This Present Darkness. Sa'dassan. Kero's Shin'a'in relative who has a bit part in By The Sword. Skandranon. Valyn. <<(Yes, believe it or not, Mardic and Donni were two of my favorites, I can't quite figure out why except that they were A) a sickeningly adorable lifebonded couple, B) connected considerably with Savil et al. and C) died honorably--and sadly IMO.) The name itself itself is simple, yet mildly exotic. :)>> I notice that one of the LHM books is dedicated to, among others, "Dominic." Is it just my personal psychoses acting up again, or does anyone else see "Donni" and "Mardic" being derived from "Dominic"? Raven Darkblade, Holy Hand of the Goddess of Elves, Knight and Founding Member of the Order of Unsung Heroes; Advocator of Eldan, Champion of Kethra and Hyllarr, Devotee of Maclyn, and Worshipper of Tal Rufen, and Mor the raven, her familiar. ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 3 Apr 2000 16:41:20 EDT From: MDennis460-+AT+-aol.com To: mercedes-lackey-+AT+-herald.co.uk Subject: Re: Personal Choices Message-ID: <42.39a97c7.261a5bf0-+AT+-aol.com> In a message dated 4/3/00 12:49:14 AM US Eastern Standard Time, Moonstalker59-+AT+-excite.com writes: << Moonstalker59-+AT+-excite.com (Sarah) >> Firebird Arts & Music of Oregon Filk and folk publishers.

She sticks her tongue out at the massive beast, "Laugh all you want Candris, it might hit you the next time." She dusts her self off and waves to everyone she hasn't spoken to in forever, holding up her, "I"m not a newbie, just a lurker" sign. ##################### END FLUFF ####################### Alrighty... I thought I'd throw my $.05 worth into the name discussion. Top 5 Names chosen by me are... ::drum roll: 5. Tre'valen 4. Tylendel 3. Kethryveris 2. Darkwind 1. Starwind & Moondance (they are together, and I liked their names equally. =) ) Now... here's a little question for everyone... I've been rereading the Winds books, and at the end of Winds of Fury about how protective Firesong was of An'desha. I was just wondering... do any of you think something might have developed between the two? I might just be on the lookout for Firesong to get some happiness, so I could be wrong. Any thoughts?
