Noal's ramblings guttering flame Send a noteboard - 07/12/2010 06:51:47 PM
What do you make of the far-fetched stories Noal told Mat? We know he's Jain Farstrider but his stories seem implausible. Are we seriously expected to believe there's a whole new race of giant people in Shara? Or some of his other tall tales?

Could it be that we're meant to conclude that while Jain Farstrider was a heroic warrior and great adventurer his stories were so riveting exactly because he invented them or improved them to a great extent?

What about Ingtar, early-Moiraine, the Menetheren people? *NM* - 08/12/2010 02:10:57 PM 229 Views
I'm just pointing out that it's a running theme. - 08/12/2010 02:17:21 PM 503 Views
