Ummm, actually, MAK, it doesn't. A "childe" is a young knight...
Sorry. It's old English, I think.
My dictionary defines it as "a youth of noble or gentle birth,
especially one training to be a knight."

Or maybe he really is a saint? Stranger things have happened in
Gwynedd... Camber, for example...

Oh, boy, I have surely been playing too long in Gwynedd and my memory
is stuffed full of all kinds of Deryni stories. In "The Priesting of
Arilan" doesn't Jamyl say that the good guys who had planned to try to
replace the merasha-laced sacramental wine weren't actually able to
replace the sacramental wine that had already been tainted with merasha
with untainted wine? Isn't that why everyone is so amazed at the end of
hte story that Denis survives his ordination?

Are you so sure that this one hasn't? I am reading through more than
60 posts about this book right now and don't think I'm going to finish
them tonight...

Ah, but what did Jamyl know? Ok, yeah, that's my theory, and someday, I
will write it down.....

Umm, don't remember for sure, but what you say sounds right. (kinda
makes one think - as has been brought up before - that humans have the
"vestigial" or "latent" ability.
'Course, that brings up an interesting genealogical item (Oh, no - not
genealogy again!) If "deryniness" is dominant, which it would
pretty-much have to be for Morgan to BE deryni, there must be several
genes operating for deryniness. Hmm...

Or perhaps, while in many ways the deryni of Camber's time were more
knowledgeable about things deryni, perhaps they hadn't really twigged
to the potential in humans, especially Haldane humans?

Is that anything like the fourth member of a trio? (listen to some old

It's like the thing said of a different author, "The first three books
of his trilogy are readable..."
(Said author has a habit of turning each trilogy into a series, often
with more than twice three books.)

There's good precedent - The Lord of The Rings is normally described as a
trilogy, but it's actually written as 5 "books" embedded within the 3
physical volumes.
And, of course, there's always the ultimate one - The Hitch Hiker's Guide to
the Galaxy, which is actually marketed as "a trilogy in five parts".
Cheers

That's what I think too.... whatever Childe means. =o) I like Kenneth,
but he's rather unrelentingly good. I'm glad Alaric had a nurturing
father who loved him at this young age, but.... I want to see the world
from ALARIC'S point of view.

Derry is simply the name of his Earldom. His real name is O'Flynn, and
has nothing to do with Deryni.
According to Codex, Keldour had a race called the Keldourynoi. I
earlier asked if Keldour and Beldour both had Deryni colonies, what
about the Lendour highlands? >> Stay informed about: Child Morgan- Spoiler |

Okay, time to start up discussion again, since folks seem to be a bit
busier with other stuff right now...
I am sooo hoping that now that Katherine's on this side of the Pond and
settling in to her new house that the next Morgan book is going to show
us a whole lot more about Morgan... It would be really cool to get
inside Alaric Morgan's head, wouldn't it?
