Forever Hero : Beefsteak plant.

[Talquin]

Reminds me of the Beefsteak plant developed by Gerswin.

Still a favorite trilogy to re read every year or so.

Speaking of Gerswin, I've always wondered why Arylyn never cracked after being alive for eons like Gerswin. Is it a function of being balanced or was he already cracked as he started and progressively became worse?

[lmodesitt]

Ayrlyn? Unless I'm missing something, I think you're talking about Werlynn, and there's "only" a span of less than five hundred years between Colors of Chaos and The Towers of the Sunset, and remember, Werlynn is Weryl's son. If you look carefully at "Songs Past, Songs for Those to Come" in Recluce Tales, you can see some of the impact of those years.

I thought Arylyn was the ancient in the forest that is never named. She is seen speaking, but her name is never mentioned.

[lmodesitt]

I'd never thought of the ancient as Ayrlyn, but she could be. Even so, the same times apply.

That's interesting. I'd assumed she was. Now I'm curious. Is she the girl from the short story about Alykial?

[lmodesitt]

No. She's not the "Forest Girl."
