Donato Giancola's Artwork for Grim Oak Press' edition of "To Green Angel Tower"

I must admit that with some of them I am not really show what scene they are depicting.

The cover for "Siege" should be the Sithi riding out into the world and the one from "Storm" when they joined battle for the Hayholt.

But I have no idea who the girl (?) with the broken handcuff, the birds and water wave is supposed to be; I don't remember a scene in TGAT with a bird bringing a letter; and no one where Simon and Binabik were riding alone through the snow.

The snowy battle scene I guess is the Battle on the Lake of Glass (and that's probably Sludig with the two axes) and the three riders are the three Norns on their secret mission.

Do you still make the Ford Perfect and Arthur Dent Funko pop bobble heads ? And if so how much?

Hi there. They are not for sale. I only make them for fun for myself 😉

Pelippa's Bowl

SPOILER TO MEMORY, SORROW & THORN!!

I have to keep thinking on how Josua Lackhand bought the inn 'Pelippas Bowl' after "To Green Angel Tower" probably not only because of its once-upon-a-time-significance to the League of the Scroll and to have a base and home for his work as a member of said League...

... but very likely also because he still hoped to find Camaris.

Back then, when Camaris had been lost for the first time, he somehow showed up in Pelippa's Bowl. Maybe the inn's once owner Xorastra had found the knight and had brought him there or he had come there after he was washed ashore in Nabban because he had known this place somehow. Anyway it was the one place Camaris had stayed in for years. The one place with any connection to him and the place he had lived in whilst in his first "mental excile".

And I can see Josua being hopeful that maybe some day, Camaris would resurface there.

I'm not crying. You are crying! T__T

Prince Josua being a clown only 10 times throughout the whole door-stopping trilogy of 2344 paperback pages :D

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎

»Duke Isgrimnur, as usual, exaggerates. I was forced to knock him to the ground and sit on him to save my own life.« (The Dragonbone Chair, ch. 7)

»Even if you are correct, how would I escape? The castle gates are doubtless closed for the night. Should I walk up to the inner gate dressed as a traveling minstrel and try to sing my way out?« (The Dragonbone Chair, ch. 12)

Doctor Morgenes: »I fear worse things even than the imprisoning of the king’s brother.« Josua: »The imprisoning was bad enough for me.« (The Dragonbone Chair, ch. 12)

Josua: »Then we will go by and visit your wife, and you may tell her about your undiminished love of the ladies.« Isgrimnur: »Prince Josua, you’ll never be too damn old or exalted that I can’t knuckle your ears, just you see if I can’t.« Josua: »Not today, Uncle. I’ll need ’em to appreciate just what Gutrun has to say to you.« (The Dragonbone Chair, ch. 35)

Vorzheva: »You are stronger but you must sleep sometime. Then I will kill you and kill myself.« Josua: »There are too few of us left for any killing.« (The Stone of Farewell, ch. 9)

Fikolmij: »Prince Josua has more gray hairs than old Fikolmij!« Josua: »I have had a difficult spring.« (The Stone of Farewell, ch. 17)

»I will do my best to look like a nice person to marry.« (The Stone of Farewell, ch. 21)

»Ride on!« Josua cried. »I am married and an outlaw!« (The Stone of Farewell, ch. 21)

Isgrimnur: »What do you say we move this idiot and his mule out of the road?« Josua: »Yes, I think so. But I don’t think it’s the idiot drover who will need convincing - and mules are no respecters of princes.« (To Green Angel Tower, Part 1, ch. 25)

»Here, drink up.« The room (ship) lurched once more, and wine splashed onto his wrist. »Come, while there is more in the cup than on the floor.« (To Green Angel Tower, Part 2, ch. 23)

“A Great Man Doesn’t Seek To Lead. He’s Called To It.” (Dune)

Josua ‘Lackhand’, Prince of Erkynland and all of Osten Ard.

Slayer of Giants and Norns, lover of lore, reluctant leader, habitual altruist, chronic overthinker and notorious melancholic.

With: his only “everyday jewelry”: the shackle he kept from his brother’s dungeon. his rarely used princely crown he’d trade in for a book right away. and his sword “Naidel, which he might or might not love a bit more than his wife.

  From Tad Williams’ “Memory, Sorrow and Thorn”

Reblogging cause I can ^^

Love that scene <3

“You are the strangest man I have ever known”, Vorzheva told him. She married him anyway.

Nezeru and the baby dragon. Not 100% happy with this one but oh well.

Re-reading The Last Kings of Osten Ard (just started Into the Narrowdark) and Nezeru might be my favorite character!
