belgarath 2: the second incident (caught in 4k)

[jesterofsnakes]

Garion: are you sure this is the right direction?

Mr Wolf: certainly, I'm as sure as I am honest!

Aunt Pol: in that case we are most certainly lost

[incorrect-belgariad]

Belgarath: It's nothing some Ibuprofen and a blunt and five beers and a head injury and jacking off and killing a God can't fix.

Okay, so imagine. Some form of crossover where a bunch of shapeshifters from different works of fiction and their non-shapeshifter companions are all thrown together, and the shapeshifters just start trolling EVERYONE. So, like, Numair picking up a cat and kissing it on the head because he thinks it’s Daine, only to panic and drop it when it shouts “HEY!” in Maui’s voice. Hazel frantically apologizing for making a flirty comment at Daine because “I really thought you were Frank!” Nimona casually walking by as Frank just to be obnoxious. Lord Blackheart scolding Polgara for a good five minutes before he realizes she’s not Nimona.

Lord Blackheart: “Wait, which one’s the dolphin?”

Sir Goldenloin: “That’s a porpoise.”

Lord Blackheart: “You don’t even know the difference between a dolphin and a—wait a minute, you’re not Ambrosius!”

Character previously thought to have been Sir Goldenloin: *shapeshifts into Belgarath and runs away laughing*

Belgariad question for fans.

Reading the Belgariad from Pawn of Prophecy to Polgara the Sorceress I have an interesting question for fans.

First off Belgarath hints to the fact that the miner they ran into in Gar og Nadrak is Aldur when you read Belgarath the Sorcerer. In King of the Murgos we also are first introduced to how events repeat themselves over and over till the event happens. Fast forward to when the party is moving to Kell there is a repeat of events.

They are warned by a guy not to kill in the forests of Kell and Garion, Belgarath and Beldin discuss the reoccurring events theory and how this relates to the miner in Gar og Nadrak, if the miner was one of the seven gods that made the world, who came to warn the party?

I will assume it's not Aldur as he was involved last time, Belar I don't think would as he put enmity on the children of Torak and this was in Angarak lands. Mara is to busy looking after his surviving daughter Taiba and her children. Issa is most likely sleeping again, so that leaves only two, maybe three. Nedra or Chaldan are what remains of the gods who spun the world. UL could have warned them too, but he was already observing things as an albatross so I doubt he would pull double duty.

My gut feeling is the god who warned everyone is Nedra. If the people take after their god, as many have then Chaldan is to formal and aggressive to be the choice. What does everyone else think?

So, I question the intelligence of like, almost everyone in The Belgariad. Now I don't doubt that they are well read, almost everyone in the party is some form of nobility. Even the people they have to talk to are government officials or nobles or intelligence officers or something, so they know the stories and the history. Hell even the common folk in most of the world know the stories of the world and the gods. Yet they are all missing a huge sign. It is baffling.

People know the stories of Belgarath and Polgara. They know the powerful sorcerer and sorceress that have lived for eons, advising and influencing the kings of the West. Even if people believe they are dead they know of them.

They know about the Line of Riva. Snuffed out hundreds of years ago. Regardless, Belgarath and Polgara have asserted that the Rivan King will return to make war against Torak.

The Kings of the West, at the very least, know that Belgarath gave his second daughter to the Rivan king as a wife and that she is the mother of the line. So the Kings of Riva are related, somewhat, to Belgarath and Polgara.

Some kid, is traveling with them calling Polgara his aunt. Eventually he starts calling Belgarath his grandfather.

And no one, except King Anheg, has made the connection.

Silk, a spy and intelligence officer, is traveling with the party and even he is unaware. No one is connecting the dots.

Marags were the first to truly embrace the idea of a ‘himbo’, but ya’ll aren’t ready to have that conversation yet.
