Stephen and Nenyane are needed to fight the demons and the Dark Lord. The Breodani still intend to hold their annual Sun, 08 Nov 2009 00:30:54 GMT evalynjewell http://groups.yahoo.com/group/MichelleWest/message/5863 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/MichelleWest/message/5863 Ok, so the goal is not for Stephen and Nanyene to become approved Hunters, it for them to become skilled for use by the Gods above. So thus we know in the Sat, 07 Nov 2009 17:42:08 GMT RalphW http://groups.yahoo.com/group/MichelleWest/message/5862 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/MichelleWest/message/5862 ...

My take on that is that, Lord Corwin would have cared less if no priest attended (consecrated?) that initial ceremony held at the Maubreche estate. He, his Wed, 04 Nov 2009 19:08:05 GMT evalynjewell http://groups.yahoo.com/group/MichelleWest/message/5860 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/MichelleWest/message/5860 After reading "Huntbrother" this weekend, I realized when Lord Corwin was talking about conducting the "Hunter/Hunbrother" ceremony without the king's approval Tue, 03 Nov 2009 01:58:00 GMT ajmill1978 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/MichelleWest/message/5859 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/MichelleWest/message/5859 Nevermind, I just found the answer to this, skimming through Memory of Stone. Apparently Fabril made them with Summer power to stand against the Barons, but Tue, 03 Nov 2009 01:51:40 GMT ajmill1978 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/MichelleWest/message/5858 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/MichelleWest/message/5858 Nenyane is described, though not by name, in Sea of Sorrows during Margaret's vision.
