Cool - here we go then:

Build with honest iron; build with stone; build with wood. If you cannot build with those, do not build.

Is that Justen to Lerris in death of chaos?

Edge · Post by **Edge** » Fri Aug 27, 2004 11:37 pm

It's not, sorry.

Meh, was just a guess

Scooterboy · Post by **Scooterboy** » Sun Aug 29, 2004 8:15 pm

How about Lerris's uncle Sardit in the Magic of Recluce?

Edge · Post by **Edge** » Sun Aug 29, 2004 10:39 pm

Sorry, also wrong.

Edge · Post by **Edge** » Thu Sep 02, 2004 12:47 pm

Okay, li'l hint: it's not from any of the 'Recluce' books.

Ok, expanding the quote a bit...

Build with honest iron; build with stone; build with wood. If you cannot build with those, do not build.
For while what you have built may last, while it may tower into the night skies and mirror the sun by day, you cannot afford the cost.

Can it be?

It can indeed!

Your turn!

I'm annoyed - the first questions i could answer in ages, and I was away.....

Ignore me, just wanted a rant

torybear · Post by **torybear** » Mon Sep 06, 2004 8:33 pm

if it makes you feel better I knew the answer but was barred from answering by the rules...

Here we go.
(Book and speaker)

"Then I would say that music is beauty, and there is too little beauty in a cold world."

It is not the quote I really wanted to use but since I couldnt remember it exacly, I took this one instead. At least after more then 2 hours of searching, I will remember to write down the quote, book and page next time.

Hmmm...that quote sounds ever so familiar. However, I can't quite place it at the moment.

Anyway, I just wanted to say, "Welcome to the IBDoF, Learion!"

Post by **Kvetch** » Tue Sep 07, 2004 3:39 pm

Yo, Learion.

Sounds like Archform

(note to Learion: you don't have to acknowlege that guess either way as it does not include speaker details - it is merely a suggestion to others)

Of Tangible Ghosts....the retired spy...sorry I have the flu and can't call the name to mind

Post by **Kvetch** » Wed Sep 08, 2004 3:14 pm

commiserations.

Learion · Post by **Learion** » Fri Sep 10, 2004 8:12 am

Sorry, it's neither Archfrom nor Of Tangible Ghosts.

Hey and thanks, Aunflin.

torybear · Post by **torybear** » Fri Sep 10, 2004 11:27 am

Ok....

Nylan...responding to what he thought of his to be paramour's music in the tower....maybe Fall of Angels....still have the flu

Learion · Post by **Learion** » Sat Sep 11, 2004 3:33 am

Nope, not Nylan or Fall of Angels.

Is it from the Spellsong Cycle? If not then can we have a hint?

Learion · Post by **Learion** » Thu Sep 16, 2004 3:17 am

It's not fantasy and torybear was close.

To bring it back down into sight. However close Torybear was, I think the good old cryogenic storage is needed

Sardit to Lerris?
