aye, that's a good question... Will there be a map of the world in one of the books (I assume that you won't include it until all continents will be introduced in the books, like Assail and Korelri)

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.

Wasn't me who started that line of thinking. It all started with Rake being the child of mother dark and one of the first dragons. all I'm saying is that it's a bit confusing how people come to be soletakens and D'ivers.

Mr. E
will we be seeing Torvald Nom again in the series? He was my favorite charcter in HoC.
Bow before thy master, the warlord of irregulars.

one more question.
poisons and elder races.
can, in example, a Jaghut (or Icarium, it's b/c of him I started to think about this) be killed by some very strong poisons that attack the neuro system? like, I think, white paralt? or some others?
----------------------------------------
Before Vader, before Maul, before Sidious... there was a Dark Lord of the Sith that cast a shadow of terror and destruction across the galaxy. The ancient forces of the Republic and the Jedi banded together to stop the torrent of the dark side, and bring an end to Gothos' rule.

I love all of your books and my question is will the crusified otataral dragon ever be released? The part of the book where they found it was amazing and I've never been able to get the idea of it getting lose out of my head, even though it has to be unlikely.

After a discussion in the Book Review thread. - Is the Reason that there are so many women in positions of power and also in the army because of The Ruler being Female? And although alot of these people were there before Laseen/Surly became Empress could she have been using her high position in the Claw to "influence" decisions. Thanks.

I am more than likely completely wrong in this assumption, but is Iskarel Pust and Kruppe one in the same?
Or will they ever meet, that would be highly entertaining, better yet they should clash.

*He jumps up and down in a desperate attempt to get attention and succeeds in getting none.* Hey! Don't forget me! Im barely 13 and i've read SE and i understand the plot, i understand the poertry, i understand the philosophy, i write my own stories! WWWWWAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!
lol. Better to ignore that. It was a fine example of me acting my age, something i try to avoid doing at all times...
Anyway, i just thought of another couple of questions:
1) Are all the ranks in every house constantly full of people we don't know about, or are they just often empty?
2) How powerful would you say Karsa is compared to some of the other powerful chars (i.e. Rake, Brood, Paran, Gothos)? Its jus that there is a debate going around the HoC forum over whether Karsa is too powerful...
thanks again

How many times, dear traveller, will you walk the same paths?

Mr. Erikson:
Now that Midnight Tides has been pushed back to March 2004, when do you foresee The Bonehunters being published?
You said that you might take a break and work on the Malazan Encyclopedia next. Does this mean The Bonehunters will be pushed back until 2006? Or is there a possibility of both the Encyclopedia and The Bonehunters being published in the same year? I realize you can't narrow it down to an exact month at this point, but perhaps you have a general idea of when it might be published. Thanks in advance, and keep up the great work.

Aren't the dead meant to be embraced by their God once they die?
Hence why the Imass, when they die, are left simply wandering, because they have no gods...at least until MoI...
Wake him not.

@ Snake -> Your an Idiot...
@ Astarte -> Actually we met one of Rakes children on Drift Avalli, I think so anyway, the name of some Tiste Kid there I think matches the one Baruks Draconean tree.

Arggh, I'm sorry, read it wrong.
Oh, btw, I REALLY hope you're not going to actually use the phrase 'four novella trilogy' on the cover of a book. Sorry, but it just doesn't work.
Lol, sorry, couldn't resist. I just couldn't. Forgive me.
On the Draconic family tree...does this include all the characters we know are dragons (Rake, Osric, Andii Soletaken, Silanah) or some others we don't know? Also, is Draconus an Eleint?
Do you actually have the series plotted out? Do you know what your conclusion will be?
Okay, that's all. Again, apologies.
I am the blood of the dragon.

hi mr Erikson,
my question is in regards to publishing. I am an aspiring author and i would like to hear your opinion on the publishing process. My impression of publishing, though i have no experience of it myself, is one of creativity suppresion, and people interested only making as much money as possible in as short a time as possible. could you share with us some of your own experiences both good and bad so that all the aspiring authors on this site can get a better idea of what they are letting themselves in for.
thanks
ps sorry if this is a little incoherant ive just gotten out of bed and im currently nursing a hang over.
Shes been crying
and ive been thinking
and if your the queen of this town
then i am the king of the rain

I thought that Mockra was a warren inaccesible to pure blooded humans but accesible to say half blooded like Barghast etc.. Arthanthos/Tayschreen was able to access the Telas warren only because he was not pure blooded human either right? ( correct me if I am wrong ).
Answer to question 4, from what we know, the Warren Thyr is descended from the breaking up of the Warren Thyrtellann, the Warren of Light and Fire. The Warren Meanas resultant from the Shattered Warren. In HOC, it is already said that nearly all warrens accesible to man are degenerates from more powerful warrens, though Hood as far as we know have always been in existance and never changed.
