Blood of dragons

[Farseer]

So, joost, what happens to those Dutch readers who may not have gone on to read the English versions of LST, as well as the Dutch, and so can't correspond the name translations to the original names? If Althea was translated to something else in LST but appeared as 'Althea' in CoD or BoD (not that I should be calling the books those names when we're talking about the translations!), how would a Dutch reader know who she was in the latter, without having read both the Enlglish and Dutch versions of LST to compare? I'd imagine it would be very confusing?!

Now I'm going to spend the rest of the day distracted by predictions about who Chassim could possibly be! The first things I thought of were 1) a slave or some such from Chalced, possibly even *LST spoiler*

Spoiler

Rache's long lost husband who will somehow reunite with her along the way

2) a dragon we are somehow yet to meet or 3) someone or some being related in some way to the great chasm that splits Kelsingra...of course I couldn't help but also immediately give a thought to poor old *Farseer spoiler*

Spoiler

Charim, Verity's valet from Buckkeep, who died during the attack which took place on Verity's party while making its way to the quarry

No need to tell me yay or nay though. I'm happy to wait.

@finella: Even knowing that I haven't read CoD or BoD yet, I still can't imagine that the Realm of the Elderlings tale would have been fully told by the end of the two-turned-into-four RWC books (EDIT: or is that one-turned-into-two-then-turned-into-three-then-turned-into-four? hehe ). I believe, without a doubt, that we'll be reading more about the realm for some time yet. True, likely not under the RWC banner, unless Robin decides to add more to the 'chronicles' segment, but reading of it in some form (as novels, trilogies or short stories) we will certainly be. Just as the story did not end at the end of TM, it will not end with RWC. Of that I am sure.
