...you'll fit right in with us like 'sundered pieces of crockery that snick back together'.
Thank you!
I knew I'd fit in right away. How?! -- Typically, when I'm new to a forum, I browse a lot first.
I lurk.
Only then do I decide whether I will just enjoy the fruits of others' labors, or join in on the fun myself. Within two (count that, two) multi-page threads on my favorite Hobb subjects here, I knew you guys would be the perfect Coterie for me!

Ah, yes. Since I read most of that thread I saw how much you love it. Some of the theories on the following have had my mind spinning for ages & you guys covered a lot of ground. I was blown away!
- why Kennit finds what he finds
- why Fitz/Dutiful can remove things from the beach
and, most importantly:
- why the Others were holding SWR in the first place
- who told them to keep her
- who the Others really are
- and the building of the cave
I can't wait to dig in & chime in!
Question!
- Does the Wiki here work like a regular wiki? ie. Do you encourage members to add entries or correct current entries? (The wiki is actually what brought me here.)
WARNING: do not click the following wiki-links unless you've finished up-through the end of TM series.
I noticed, for example, the Nighteyes entry is fleshed out wonderfully from his early years....
The Kennit entry, however, is completely bereft of any specifics; it's a bare-bones entry telling you the basics of Kennit.
I would love to add entries, is what I'm saying.
