Will someone say I am a nitpicker? in Demonsong it is said of Glaeken "He had never been one to believe in sorcerers and evil magic, considering them little more than tales designed to frighten children. The only magic he’d ever seen had been the work of charlatans".

And yet, in By the Sword, [SPOILER]Glaeken says to Jack that during the First Age, natural laws were different and people could perform what today would be considered magic.[/SPOILER]

Or maybe I've just been proof-reading contracts since too long Wink

Not so inconsistent considering all the changes in Glaeken's life after Demonsong.

When I read that line in BTS, I naturally assumed that, since Demonsong was Glaeken's first experience with magic, he was simply uneducated with magic at that time...a situation which changed pretty quick, thereafter.

So, the first statement was made when he was innocent (relatively speaking) of the knowledge that real magic exists and the second was after an eon of intimate contact therewith.

If characters develop over time, which all of FPW's do, then the two statements are not inconsistent, at all.

I've not posted for a long long while, but thought it was time to break my silence. Thanks FPW - that's really nice of you.

I was just kidding Big Grin

Demonsong is a great story, it reads like something out of Fritz Leiber's Lankhmar.

Paul many thanks for allowing this for the fans

You do realise this will have even more fans clamoring for more first age stories

Cheers
