be prepared to listen to me ramble. i'm asking because all through the eddings books with garion ( belgariad,malloreon,belgarath and polgara) polgara has been siad to be half an alorn. but belgarath always is saying - very empathatically- that he is not an alorn and poledra, polgara's mother is a wolf. that's not an alorn that's a wolf. so i wanted to know. hey, that's amazing, i didn't ramble about too much.

Polgara isnt an alorn because when belgarath was born they didnt really have such distinctions read teh start of the rivan codex and its explained i think

Hearing the name Sendar somehow reminds me alot of the name Sendel, who was that evil queen from the "Mortal Kombat Trilogy", which I think is a great game by the way, but I think I'm straying too far off topic here.

Who knows? Maybe Polgara was in Mortal Kombat and that's why there's some confusion about her origins.

And Polgara's finishing move would be.. ahh, yes: sending an annoying talking flock of birds after you, either that or summoning her dwarf-like uncle to belch in your face! http://www.sffworld.com/ubb/biggrin.gif
