Races

[nj1]

I thought the THUN were overrated a bit. When PUG encountered them they seemed to me to bit quite primative. Although they are obviously a strong race to over come, a bit like any centaur type creature. I could not understand why the Tsuranni could not overcome them, what with all the warriors and greater path magicans at thier disposal.

From description the Thun seem to have somewhat of a tribal nature and be very primitive with the use of stone head axes/maces.

Another thing I found interesting about their physical description was that like our mythical centaurs they are half beast with four legs and half man with a bust, arm and a head; but their lower body is more like a large deer or moose and their head is like an ape..Very Wierd...Id like to see some artist rendering of them indeed.

Perhaps a book on the THUN would be intersting

Well we learned a lot about the political and social structure of the Tsuranni empire, and the development of the Great Ones, etc, thru the Empire series. But there wasn't a lot about the Cho-Ja, Thun, how they developed, the way territories came to be divided due to war etc.

It would be interesting, even at this late date, if JW tackled another book or two on Kelewan. I know I'd buy 'em.

That would depend on whether the majority of the Thun could speak or not

[Kulgan]

Good point - because if they can't, it'd get pretty boring in big hurry...

Back to Dwarves. I feel that they could of had a bigger part to play in the Serpentwar but Ray decided against it. But against the Tsurani they were very dwarf-like

Just found this on the CRYDEE web site!

  Future plans

  At this point I have plans to finish the Riftwar Cycle, which has five books to go, and then begin a new series in a new universe. So after I finish the Midkemian stuff, it'll be a while before I get back to it, I think, as I'll be focusing on a new franchise.
  Looks like some new stuff to come

Thanks for the input, NJ1 - if he sticks to what he's saying we know how much more Midkemia we have to look forward to. And if his new universe is as good as this one has been, I'll be dragging out the cash to buy those as well.

[Fake Vencar]

Ooh, a new universe. I wonder if he'll link them together in the hall of worlds maybe?

[Kulgan]

Now THAT would be a brilliant idea. That way we could kind of keep track of Midkemia and the Conclave while we're immersed in the other world too. It'd work well if Pug or someone else from Midkemia dropped into Honest John's once in awhile and sat down with someone from the other series for a cold one...
