- Hello out there,
-
- having my exams in january and february I do have time to write / post
- an article ;-)
-
- I seem to remember that in the Belgariad Eddings introduced a feast
- called "Erastide", in which Garion got his first dagger, on which he
- cut his finger to which Aunt Pol remarked "It was inevatable (sp?)".
-
- I have read the Belgariad, Mallorian and the Elenium (the only one I
- own) and I can't remember any other reference to a feast slightly
- related to Christmas.
-
- Or have I missed something in one of the books? If you're going to
- re-read them - have a look, please :-)
-
- (Hope this post is in correspondence with the season...)
-
- Merry Xmas and a happy, eddings-full new-year!
