Honoured Enemy

[Morvai_]

Loved Honored Enemy. The Kingdom soldiers and the Tsurani bonding, despite being so different... Tinuva and Morvai killing each other, despite being brothers by blood..

One of my favourite scenes is where Tinuva goes off to face Morvai and has to "convince" Gregory to let him go alone. The eledhel in the books are, generally very one-dimensional, cliche goody-two-shoes. Tinuva in that book had almost unfailingly (barring his troubled "I enjoyed killing Old Enemy X") been considerate, gentle and open-minded, helping resolve disputes on more than one occasion...

And then he lets his inner moredhel out, so to speak, deliberately cranking intimidation up to eleven and being all viciously terrifying... Like a wolf that's been tamed or reared in captivity going feral again, tearing out your throat without warning. It was absolutely thrilling. It also illustrated wonderfully how thin the line between moredhel and eledhel can sometimes be (even though no eledhel ever convert to moredhel, presumably because of Spellweaver brainwashing), and how distinct the two cultures are - how the moredhel rely on intimidation and being terrifying in communication and body language.

Lol all true (althought Tinvua and Bovai kill each other, Morvai was Tinuvas name as a Moredhel.

Gah, right. Eh, it's their own fault for having similar names. What kind of parent makes their children's names rhyme, anyway?

It's just that I'm usually the first person to jump at someone's throat if they misspell a name or something. So it's a bit embarrassing. ^^;
