[Farseer]

I'm most impressed, 'thul beings!

What really jumps out at me, aside from the skills you show in creating these images , is the difference in our interpretations of 'crest'. I had just imagined *LST spoiler*

Spoiler

Malta's

to be a crown or tiara-like formation (fit for an Elderling or dragon 'queen', I suppose), running from right to left, but your interpretation makes a lot more lizard-serpent-reptile sense...

What was everyone else imagining?

No need for the spoiler tags as I tagged the thread title a long while back and have just now included Farseer and Tawny Man, but, having a look back at this old post, I think I may have acquired my tiara-like interpretation purely from the stained-glass window that Fitz saw in the Map Tower of the Kelsingra Citadel of Records.

I recall, I think, that he noted the woman had a red band around or on her head (this being the dark-haired and dark-eyed lady who I link the Outislander/Farseer traits back to as evidence of having lived or even ruled there in Kelsingra in ancient times, or even a link to Nettle or somesuch's future...but that's for all of those *other threads* that I've prattled on about it in ). Will have to go back and find the passage to reference but, as redchild later posted, who is to say that all Elderlings crests are alike?
