I am so sorry to have to ignore the majority of your post, Valarya, especially as I have so much to say in response to it, and 'thul's, but I just wanted to invite you to take a look here to a thread I dedicated soley to the subject of black hair and black eyes. This was after I went on and on about it throughout the forums, of course, so it doesn't contain much aside from a list of a characters. I think I am a lone wolf in my belief that there is a connection to the Skill and these dark features, and will have to go back and build on it all some more one day...like so many other discussions that I have involved myself in (or is that corners I have placed myself in?!).
I do want to say though that I disagree that it is only in the Six Duchies where the Skill is used, and this is pivotal to my thoughts regarding Wintrow, Elderlings etc. I have spoken about it at length elsewhere so will try and find some links for those conversations also but, if I can’t, I’ll happily share more of my disputable theories!
