With nothing else to go on, I have to agree that it must just be due to the imagery etc. Still, as you mentioned redchild, it's all rather mysterious!
We talked about colours in the Others Island thread, I think, but just on red...in Chapter Seven, "An Assignment", of AA, there is a reference to strange men with red and black teeth. Fitz is comparing Burrich to them after he (Burrich) shaved his head etc when grieving for Chivalry:
"..it made him look very strange, stranger even than the forest men who came to town with their hair stuck down with pitch and their teeth dyed red and black. Children stared at those wild men and whispered to one another behind their hands as they passed..."
Who were these men? Were they just "strange" citizens of Buck or did they have some significance, either for good or ill? If so, could they even have been helpers for the Pale Woman somehow? No doubt she had other people in the SD who assisted her besides ones like Henja, Regal etc? Hmm...I can't find any other reference to them in any of the books so they are a bit of an unknown!! Any ideas?
