Thanks maulkin but I thought I'd posted something in here as a response to your first post, though sometimes I post directly to the web page and other times I write a word doc first and then cut and paste. Possibly I never ended up cutting and pasting (or saving!) my post.
In the meantime though, I thought of this thread when I was re-reading about ** Spoilers for Farseer and Tawny Man trilogies**
My apologies that this is off-topic to the current discussion, and is instead going back to the maulkin's original thought on regeneration, but I have not long come across it again in AQ.
Something else I have to add is one of Sa's precepts, mentioned by Wintrow at the very beginning of The Ship of Magic. Berandol was retelling Wintrow of the stunted arm he'd had as a youth and how the priests had cured him of it. I think that this precept of Sa fits well with all that the dragons have experienced and, indeed, everything that has been experienced by ALL of those in the RotE who have mistakenly been considered 'weaker'. The precept goes, 'For the weaker has but to try his strength to find it, and then he shall be strong.'
"I am the Catalyst, and I came to change all things. Prophets become warriors, dragons hunt as wolves."
