hi people of the forum.....
i´ve just finished reading the third book of the saga... and got a doubt that perhaps someone here can clear for me.....
in the crimson legion.... rikus is mistaken for borys, the last living champion of rajaat by the remaining ones... all of them ghosts, right ?
But in "the enchantress..." the king of nibenay results to be one of the champions... as well as both those floating heads that instruct Tithian.... is there an explanation for this... or just the author´s lack of memory concerning his own writtings ???

A) They are wraiths, not ghosts

B) Those were followers of Borys, not the actual champions themselves.

Nope, Nibenay, as well as the two floating heads Sacha and Wyan are all former champions.

Remember the conversation Sadira had with Dhojakt at the Pristine Tower?
There Dhojakt told Sadira that the Champions of Rajaat transformed Borys in a dragon an as they had finished it, every champion claimed a City of Athas and became a SK...

Hey, nice name, Usul!

The wraiths in that fortress in the middle of the desert were the followers of Borys, the 13th champion, who at one time departed from his battles against the dwarves and never came back. His appearence is highly changeable, he is immortal and posessed a magical sword, so when the wraiths see Rikus with it they believe its their master come back to them.

As for the concept that he was the 'last' champion...well, what did it sound to you when you read it? Last champion alive or last champion to have been created? (they are referred to as 'the 13 champions' afterall).

If this info is not satisfactory, just write in code:

//requestdata-serverx01
->[interface::comprehensibleavatar]

and remember you can get the interface in any of ten beautiful colors and that these members are not real people but programs, or as we like to call ourselves, better-than-people: we don't sleep, we answer right away and its always right.

Usul, weren't you the 22nd Champion of Rajaat, you know Beholder Doom. Love the name, would love to incorporate it in my Athasian world, whats your favorite character and location? I love to add flavor to my Athas. Characters, places, faces, goals
