A map of the isle of the winds. A couple people I spoke to on the subject of books with no fanart said the Belgariad and Mallorean was criminally underrated and needed more art. Soooo here is a map I made for my mother (Who grew up with this series)

Del Rey Books! Please let me illustrate maps for a special edition of the Belgariad!

Rereading the Belgariad and a line about Faldor got me thinking. He was a pios man and because of that it got me to think. Everyone learned Garion became King Belgarion of Riva, his two childhood friends knew and came to his aid when Ce'nedra called. It is also common knowledge that Garion killed Torak. How would Faldor react knowing young Garion, who grew up on his farm, killed a God?

Further how would he react to Garion not ONLY fighting Torak, but he met all the other god's, helped bring in a new god, and has talked with the father of the gods not one but 4 times.

Thoughts of the late night and rereading my favorite book.

Dry humor

What was that?“ Belgarath asked, coming back around the corner. “Brill,” Silk replied blandly, pulling his Murgo robe back on. “Again?” Belgarath demanded with exasperation. “What was he doing this time?” “Trying to fly, last time I saw him.” Silk smirked. The old man looked puzzled. “He wasn’t doing it very well,” Silk added. Belgarath shrugged. “Maybe it’ll come to him in time.” “He doesn’t really have all that much time.” Silk glanced out over the edge. “From far below - terribly far below - there came a faint, muffled crash; then, after several seconds, another. "Does bouncing count?” Silk asked. Belgarath made a wry face. “Not really.” “Then I’d say he didn’t learn in time.” Silk said blithely.

"I think you're going to have to explain a few things to him, father," Aunt Pol said. "He doesn't seem to have even the most rudimentary idea about the way forces react against each other." She looked at Garion critically. "It's lucky you didn't decide to throw it," she told him. "You might have flung yourself halfway back to Maragor."

NOBODY TAUGHT HIM TO FREAKING READ. And you in particular, Aunt Pol, actively discouraged him from asking questions.

I can't tell who's at fault here - Polgara/Belgarath or Eddings lol

"Your Aunt's been trying to explain the necessity for keeping yourself under control for several months now, and you've been fighting her every step of the way."

Garion hung his head. "I didn't know what she was getting at," he apologized.

"That's because you weren't listening. That's a great failing of yours, Garion."

Dammit, Belgarath, you can't have both. You can't express regret at what Garion did to Asharak, browbeat him about "I told you it would be bitter," and then continue to brush aside what Garion is going through! He's not fighting Polgara out of petulance, he's fighting her because she's 4000 years old and so far separated from the brevity of mortal life that they can't understand each other now.

They can't listen to each other right now because right, wrong, or indifferent, Pol has decided Garion is being a child and Garion has been traumatized into thinking she's a monster.
