Hmm yes it occurred to me after I posted it could also have been an Elderling Blushing

I guess it was the 'twisted rhymes' that first made me think WP, and then the bard association (but of course anyone can be a bard), and the colour change (although it was the opposite of WP's going from light to dark) and the long period of time - when it says 'half a hundred years and returned as if but a day had passed for him' I just thought well he hadn't aged (like a WP) but yes it could also mean he was in some sort of state akin to that of Fitz in the Skill pillar...

Farseer which book tells of the Fool coming from the vicinity of Others Island?
(*hopes it's one I have!*)

I had forgotten about those changes in Selden you mentioned ...... with that being the case I suppose all the things about Ravenlock could be Elderling-y.

Which raises another interesting question - if the Ravenlock story is about someone who became an Elderling type being, was that because there were still dragons spending a lot of time on Others Island, or is there some way humans can be touched by Others? (wow that would be really complicated!)

I guess there's always the possibility this story was simply twisted along the way and it was simply dragons on Others Island at that time (presumably the ones who eventually became Others through too much association with humans???)
