[QUOTE="tx7321, post: 3224573, member: 43146"] Raven "Merlin, in The Once and Future King, published in 1958. best selling book. Gwydion from The Book of Three (and sequels), published in 1964, Newberry Award winning book. Several of the wizards in A Wizard of Earthsea (and sequels), published in 1968, including, notably, Erreth-Akbe. I could go on." Honestly, I haven't seen one of these. I'm not saying these weren't popular books for a group of people. What I'm saying is these books were not known by many of TSRs primary demographic (when compared to other sources like Grimms, Disney, The Hobbit etc.)...and surely you can see that even if they were, the characters in these books would not fit in with the stereo typical fairy tale/Tolkien feel OD&D/1E had. Oh, BTW do you have any links to pictures..would be interesting to see. Raven: "Your arguments always seem to fall apart when the actual evidence is brought forward. Why is that?" Raven there's no need to be so keyed up all the time. Please chill out dude. :cool: [/QUOTE]
