    Ship Names

    Eddings features two ships heavily in both the Belgarath series and the Sparhawk series, and both of which the name is never revealed. Greldik's ship (Belgariad / Mallorean) Cap'n Sorgi's ship (Elenium / Tamuli) Can anyone postulate a name for these fine (if not scruffy and patched) vessels?

    Racial Stereotypes in Fantasy and David Eddings

    Perhaps this subject has been emphasized to the point of excess, but I still find it somewhat interesting. I notice while I was reading Pawn of Prophecy that racial sterotypes are apparently very prevalent, not only in David Eddings books, but in fantasy literature as well. True, the races are...

    New Eddings Fan

    I just finished my first David Eddings book, the Diamond Throne and I have to say I loved it!!! I found the book so easy to read, with a good story line and great characters. I also liked how some of the plans actually went to plan... some books there's always some twist in every plan that you...

    Cameo

    I've just finished reading Ruby Knight for the 100th time or so on, and I noticed that Belgarath makes a cameo. It's the bit where they are camping before the party gets to Ghasek, and Sparhawk stands watch when a silvery wolf slinked out of the forest, stared at him, and slunk away again. I...

    Why do you keep reading??

    From the dizzy heights of the Belgariad through to the abyss of the Dreamers we’ve doggedly stuck by Eddings. Nobody can argue (at least sensibly) that The Malloreonwas not a re-write of the Belgariad with some tweaks… that the Elenium was a not re-write of the Belgariad… Tamuli = Malloreon...

    Dryads

    I'm reading the books again and it got me wondering if the dryads (sp?) are closely attached to their trees how come CeNedra can be apart from hers? (I don't mean literally attached to the tree of course). It was something that was said by the dryad queen that got me wondering. gothic

    Eddings Fan Needed for Beta Reading

    I would love to get the help of another Eddings fan, one who liked the Elenium and Tamuli series to beta read a fanfic story for me. Anyone interested?

    Ideal prequel book?

    This is an idea that's been touted in several of the other threads, and rather than divert Fave character? any more, I thought I'd start afresh. Hope that's ok. If you could have a prequel on any character from an Edding's novel, who would you pick and why? A main character, or someone obscure...

    I was Wondering

    Now when i read the david eddings books I remember how in B and M it mentions the other worlds ok. Do any of you think the way I do and that all hes other books are those "other worlds"?

    Eddings Fan Fiction

    Well, I've read it (and even thought about writing some of it) and even have a favorite or two. Anyone else ever browsed through Eddings fan fiction? What were your impressions?

    The Best of Eddings Gods to Worship?

    Well my folks, which god out of Eddings' series would you worship? Check out the link to this very strange page I found. Setras might have been interesting, though in the end I think I would have chosen Aldur.

    Bevier = MarySue

    I was browsing through some fan fiction and noticed there seems to be a strong allure to Bevier by MarySue types. Anyone know what's up with that?

    rather lame!

    I was watching another Ulath-digression forming, and I was unaccountably reminded of a game we played in high school. Mate, date, or marry? Out of the B/M/E/T characters, who would be your best mate, who would you date (for fun) and who would you take home to meet mum and dad? Here's my...

    Which Belgariad character are you?

    I found this quiz, and I thought I'd post it here so that everyone could have a go.:) Which Belgariad character are you? Don't know how that happened, but I'm apparently Polgara (80%).

    Japanese Book Covers for Eddings

    I was browsing for foreign editions of the Eddings books (I like to collect a few titles by different writers from other countries) and came across these great Japanese copies on Amazon. Amazon.co.jp: David Eddings: –{ They're great covers I think. Kinda like the books were actually read by...

    An Ode to the Tamuli

    I was looking at different threads on the forum and somehow felt compelled to write something about the Tamuli and why I like it There were several things that I liked about the Tamuli: ****************************************************** ****************Edit: Minor Spoilers...

    Have you noticed

    All the titles in the Belgariad relate to Chess? Pawn, Queen and Castle are chess pieces. Gambit and end game are, I believe, chess moves. Always struck me as odd Gothic x
