On another forum I frequent (The One-eyed Crow, Dennis McKiernan fan site--Dennis is as good at answering questions as LEM) we play the "Quote Game."
The object of the game is to quote a passage or phrase from a book--in this case, Modesitt's books. And it is up to the participants to figure out from which book, chapter, character and events the quote is relating to. Whoever gets it right gets to place a new quote...and so on and so forth.
This game can be quite fun and interesting. Any and all are welcome to participate--don't be shy.
Well, I guess I'll start it off...
"In the low and still-too-near old days before the small stars scarred the fields to ashes, before the lands smoked, and before the ice walked the world, there were many types of fishes in the sea, and many animals that roamed the forests and plains and hills, and birds with all colors of feathers that roosted and perched and strutted.
"But there was only one kind of human. Sometimes that kind was man, sometimes woman, sometimes child, but for all the names, they were the same. Some were taller, and some were shorter, or thicker or thinner, and some spoke Anglas, and some Nippin, and some Mandi. But they were the same. That is, they all thought in the old-fashioned manner, and their thoughts stayed inside there heads."
All right. What Modesitt book is that one from? Hope its not too obscure. But I don't want it to be too easy...
Good Luck!
Congratulations! One Sherlock for torybear, kilty...
...oops I exploded.
