On a random and very unlikely train of thought that I still just wanted to share with everyone.....I think Quarion is the one walking around hywrl from the glimpse wedding/funeral story, and Loss is actually his old long sword that Jaine got from Cawyes who got it from Big Blue.
Interesting theory.

how did you work that one out Kat?
Slowly being driven insane by work
-or-
I just don't want him to be one of the shiny gold figure that stood on the Bluestar's left side
-or-
1) He is one of those watching from on high, helping as able from there as well. Long ago Oberon was able to come back as a messenger of sorts. Quarion could be sent back for the same purpose. The last paragraph also leads to Quarion possibly, someone sent by the light, sent to us specifically- a messenger.

2) We are close to Quarion's Rest yet it is unlikely that he is actually buried there. He was close to Link it is possible the woodshadow got him and/or his family to agree to have him buried some place safe as all the other hero's were. A place not easily thought of nor easy to find. Hywrl is Link's area a place he could watch over the grave, a quite honor place of rest. Link was the last and if Quarion made it to old age there was only Link to make sure he got there, and with Link he may have gotten stopped along the way and come up with his own idea and gone with it.
It is very likely by the story of Quarion that the two found each other alive later on. That woudl explain the switch in Quarion from 'Find Link!' to 'He's dead stop looking.'

3) It was someone who had been alive previously but does not hold thier memories. Someone who once held power, but now does not (comment about not its time). Someone close to dwarves and thier love of iron work (comment about fiting tribute and not much changing). Someone from the old world as he calls it 'Thane's religion' not the light or Apectos, but Thane. Someone who knew him, worried about the teachings he spread as he was glad things did not evolve into seeing Thane as a god.

4) Could be a dwarf since it references walking among them and part of thier speech or som such not being lost.... but could also just be Quarion who in building the wall spent years surrounded by dwarves in thier own element.

5) The sword is that Quarion was a sword man, ::shrug:: I don't know.... fits, and explains a possible place of how Jaine got it. She didn't craft it herself. Also the person did not know it exactly, and since it changed from (whatever it's name was before) to loss that could cause the familiar feeling of the sword to its owner.
He was more of a short sword guy apparently, but the sword does keep changing as it is magical.

5) The part about the queen looking like one of mine though does first lead to Oberon, but in all those years there could have been mixing of blood. Not really far fetched since his would have been an honored house and his ancestors would have pull and power. Something leaders and other powerfully people would want to ally themselves with.
Plus Quarion himself was related in, as he was most likely related to the amastatia who was one of Oberon's many decendent children.

6) Also there is the whole you can only be brought back once- Oberon died long ago was brought back by the hero's of old; Link died was brought back- Still available to Quarion though.

I know and already said this is tenuous reasoning and obviously a mass of other people could it be instead. Just a random mind wandering that I came up with :) I think Gertie was more correct with Oberon and see more connections that way from the messenger of the light wording 'to one of his' to any number of other things.
 


Okay so I thought about having L'Aurel just ask Dara from some of her blood, but figured first I should ask two questions in KOA land before everyone freaked about her acting really weird:

1) do they have blood transfusions?

2) If you drink someone's blood besides weird would you be considered to have thier blood for the duration it stayed in you?

--thoughts in case it is trigered or shows diferently for someone of Quarons blood. Hey something she would think through there seems to be a lot holding on blood and those connections it wouldn't surprise her if it is a blood trigger or blood directional thing--

but back to more important issues- as G asked anyone else on idea of what we are looking for?
None of the dwarves in Sylvanus are aware of anything in their former homes that's been theoretically powering the ward. If any of the dwarves who lived there *did* know, they must not have made it out.

However, just because they don't know anything obvious does not mean they don't know anything relevent. Specific questions get good answers.

Also, do you want to use the boat to see what's down the river?

The presence of magical healing has obviated the need for blood transfusions in all but a few cases. For the most part, no - there are no blood transfusions.

If you were to drink someone's blood, I suppose any magic keyed to it *might* work. However, as it's not a problem ancient magical engineers wouldn't have thought of, it's better than nothing, I suppose. The idea behind the "X's blood" magic is to limit who can access it, and I'm not sure that drinking blood that goes to your stomach is magically any different than carrying a bucket of blood around with you.

If you were a vampire, I'd say that yes - it would count. Since you're not, at best I'll say maybe. But a creative idea. I'm tempted to give bonus XP just for the thought. ;)
 

Also, can you think of a reason that Quarion would have wanted to be able to bring the ward down? If you can, think about who and what would be the obvious choices to do so, in a situation that Quarion might have forseen.

If not, then think as if you're trying to hide it from EVERYONE, so that even the well-meaning cannot bring it down. In this case, it will probably not be a switch, like the ward in Caer Melyn, which could be advantageous when up or down. It might leaves signs of its presence somewhere, but will not be easily accessible.

Above all, remember that whatever powers it is dangerous - it could have paralyzed any of you, although it was more likely to stop those of the Bluestar's blood...an item of that power can't just be hanging out in the open.
