I thought that sheildmate is emplying a sexual bond????? Or am I just off my rocker? There's been a few replies to this, but I thought I'd toss in my own two cents: At a guess, Misty used 'shieldmate' there because 'shieldbrother' or 'shieldsister' just wouldn't fit into the rhythm. :) Tamlin queried: Also, a question........Who was the member of Vanyel's family who also became a Herald?. I have a feeling it was a girl, and his niece, but was she a Herald or just a Herald Mage, and what was her name, and that of her Companion's?. This was, I think, the daughter of Vanyel's brother Meakal. I think, though I don't have my copy of LHM handy, that her name was Ariel and her Companion's name was Darvena. I could be all kinds of mixed up, though; I'll look it up later.

For this reason I think that after the time of Vanyel there may be a written form of communication.

Not sure if this has already been answered, sorry if it has, trying to catch up on several days of missed misty list. (hehe) It's in the book "Sword of Ice" She stumbled upon him injured and... well I won't say anything more for anyone who hasn't read the short story.

The Valdemar Sun? Enquirer? This is actually a rather interesting idea. Why shouldn't they have a press of some sort?? ;) Think about it... The Paparazzi storm the Palace after Elspeth's first assination attempt in Winds of Fate.. Eesh.. "Did you fight the assassin off yourself?" "What is your mother's view on this assassin?" "Why did this assassin target you, specifically?" "What are the plans to increase Security?" ..... Actually though, I think a lot of information was transmitted by Heralds and Bards.. == Hugs, Ana, proud Knight of Fluff. Certified Cheerios Fiend. Listee for JC.

I'm a female that going to be turning 14 soon, and I rarely ever find people who read the books that I like, except for people on the net. Believe me, your not alone... ;-) ObMisty: Does anyone know what's the other Valdemaran trilogy coming out after the Owl Series? Obsidian The Best Lies Are The Ones Still Believed....

I've been Raven for MANY years now! My legal name is Lynn, but not for long. As soon as I have the time to set up a court date, my last name for sure, and probably my first name as well, will be changed forever. My last name will be WhiteWolf (I'm 1/4th Native American) and I'm thinking seriously about going to Raven as my first name. As long as I can remember, several of my family members have called me Raven.
