Voyages of discovery? (spoilers for all RotE books)

[Farseer]

Just a quick reply...yes, I agree with maulkin re that serpent memories are most usually lost and are replaced by dragon memories, and there are many hints that point to this. I have mentioned it elsewhere but one of the most telling is the confusion the dragons first experienced in regards to Tarman. If they fully retained their serpents memories, they would have immediately known full well what Tarman was (a liveship just as Vivacia and Paragon were) and also how he came to be. As it was, they took some time to discover/recall this.

Re Yes, I remember reading Robin's comments regarding the Soldier Son trilogy Albertosaurus Rex but I still wondered if that was just her way of putting us off the scent ! Though I am only just ready to begin the fourth chapter (reading in spits and spurts when time allows!), I have found a number of links to the RotE but this is most likely due to both works having been created by the same author (or possibly just a result of my having read the RotE books and so I am therefore looking for things I otherwise wouldn't have been !). One such subject of interest I am now going to add to a thread authored by maulkin and others in the Gernia threads when I get a chance.
