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.<br>

<div><font face="Arial" size="2">My biggest question is how Jain could have traveled
as far as he has, and done everything that he has done, and still be alive after
the book has had so long to gain fame. It seemed to be nearly a classic when it

<div><br></div>I don't think <i>anyone's</i> relationship with the
Encyclopaedia is friendly enough that we could just copy what they have
there, if that's what you're getting at. Though their chapter and
character summaries are very detailed in some ways, there is a lot that
could be added to them... <br><br>I would say that, if we're going to be
doing character and chapter summaries, that we should cover things that
are noticeably absent in their summaries - not that it would be necessary
to avoid duplicating what they have. We just don't want to be
redundant. I would also suggest an external link to their summary at
the bottom of each wiki page, but I haven't yet figured out a way to link
individual pages within the Encyclopaedia - each internal page has the
same url. Perhaps someone with more general computer knowledge could
help with that - and there should be no issue with the Encyclopaedia's
copyright by making external links to their pages. <br><br>

Thank you Terez. You are right. It took me about five
minutes to find the same information, and it took me that long because I
was unfamiliar with the site.<br><br>How friendly is our relationship

future reference, the <a href="http://www.encyclopaedia-wot.org/" target="_blank">Encyclopaedia WoT</a> is extremely helpful in finding
where things happened. There are chapter summaries, and there
are also character summaries - with a character such as Noal who
hasn't done a great deal, it would have been a matter of extreme
simplicity to look at his character summary and see where the
conversation took place. <br><font color="#888888"><br>Terez<br><br></font>

<div>I am doing a personal study of <b>Jain Farstrider</b>, also
known as <b>Jain Charin</b> and considered by some to be <b>Noal
Charin</b>. In <i>Knife of Dreams</i>, Mat and Thom finally
agree to mount a rescue with some third person to free Moiraine from
the Aelfinn. If my memory serves me right, I believe that third
person to be Noal Charin, but I would like to confirm that.
Does anyone know what chapter Mat and Thom have that discussion in?
