Cadvan was born, the oldest of five children


Will any of these feature in the two remaining books? ;)

so that all happened before the Dark magic thing when Ceredin died?...

Unlikely ... unfortunately, by the beginning of The Gift, Cadvan has already outlived all his siblings...

in all honesty i fell in love with Dernhil when i first read him and i cried when he died!!! **tear** he seemed an interesting character with a interesting past and although i can see his death was necessary i still didn't enjoy reading it. i just would have liked to see his and Maerad's friendship grow a little. And i know this is Cadvan's thread but this kinda relates to him anywayz. but i think that even if Maerad did like Cadvan in that way and he did like her in that way Maerad's memories and feelings for Dernhil could still get in the way of their possible relationship although i think i see them as older brother and lil sis in a way. tis kinda cute. **awwww**

Actually I didn't really like Dernhil, and am ashamed to say that I have absolutely no good reason for doing so; he was a perfectly nice chap. I suspose because he was a potential obstacle for anything that might happen between Maerad and Cadvan...

Alison: Woah, you have no idea how hot that bit about the poetry contest makes Cadvan sound... *drools all over the keyboard just thinking about it*
Give me more, more I say! Withdrawal symptoms!! Also, what was Ceredin like?

[Mrs. Cadvan]

oh yeah, I forgot to say: I have done another piece of fanart, featuring Cadvan, Maerad, Nerili and Ceredin. They're not how I imagined them really, but nevermind. You can see it here:

Please view it up close as well, because the scan took away a lot of the shading quality!

Yes: not long before. And after that, Cadvan's life was very different...

I have to say that I have a soft spot for Derhil too, Tari. I remember when I realised what was going to happen to him...I actually went cold.

And Mrs C, I'm impressed! You sure can draw. That's a gorgeous picture of Cadvan, and not so far from how I see him myself - :D

Dernhil seemed a lot like Cadvan, IMO - at least, the Cadvan we know now...

That's a bloody awesome drawing, Mrs. Cadvan!

[Siobhan]

Wow Mrs Cadvan that really is awsome... but while we are on the topic of what they look like I imagined Cdavan looks a bit like a mix between Fabrizio Moretti (the strokes drummer) and Aragorn (LOTR of course) and I imagined Maerad as a mix between Liv Tyler and Sienna Miller(Jude Law's fiance), minus the blonde hair

This might sound a bit strange, but anyway:

About five years back I remember watching one of those dumb 'fun for the whole family' movies - Harriet the Spy, I think.
Anyway, I know the genre is completely out of place, but from what I remember the girl actor was a lot like my internal image of Maerad. I've forgotten her name, though - actually I doubt if I ever knew it, I was only 11 at the time :rolleyes:. In the movie she's usually got that stupid 'kid being mischievious' look, but at one point her Dad moves away, and she gets really sad and solemn; that was the bit I remembered.

And she's Aussie, too, IIRC ;)
