"First, let me introduce you to yourself" (Beware RotE Spoilers)

[Paragon-Athena]

Greetings all,

I'm Athena and I belong to the John Howe official website forum. I was recommended to read the RotE by John Howe himself! My favourite trilogy is The Liveship Traders, and you can probably guess which is my favourite character
I am a self-taught fantasy artist in training (I'm only 17). I made the switch from manga art to fantasy when I saw John Howe's artworks. My favourite artwork of his is "The Mad Ship", because even before I read the books I fell in love with the tortured liveship. (well, fell in love in the same way that the Fool/Amber loves Paragon - not like a human obviously).
I also love the character of the Fool - personally I am unsure about his gender and sexuality, but I don't care because I think the myster is what makes him/her so fascinating
