[Wot-l] A question...(a little off topic--hope you don't mind)

Mon Jan 21 18:54:59 UTC 2008

Actually, I was researching something specific.  Noal Charin is suspected of
being Jain Farstrider.  It turns out that a little-recounted fact is that
Jain Charin (later called Farstrider) was the man who brought Cowin Gemallan
before the King (I am assuming it was the King of Shienar since it was
Agelmar who was relating the story and he did not say otherwise) after he
betrayed Malkier.  I just found that interesting and am expecting great
things from him when he, Mat and Thom enter the Tower of Ghenjei.

R,
John
