IDK, but show me where i made my mistake

When Tattersail sees Whiskeyjack, Quick and Kalam approach her and Hairlock early on in GOTM, they're described as two black guys - Quick and Kalam - and a white dude - WJ.

Quick Ben is introduced from the very beginning as black.

If someone is from Seven Cities, they're either black or otherwise darker skinned.

And I'd say the Rhivi are like the Wickans, and more Native American-esque.

The Moranth and Barghast are black, as well.

[RaZjInSaR]

whose left to be white blue and yellow?

[Illuyankas]

Dal Honese are blue, you know.

[Grimjust Bearegular]

isn't QB quite feminine- looking?

I like the watercolour one better, although it should be a bit darker.

Dal Honese are black, like the Emperor, Dassem, and Pust, and presumably Bottle, and Balm.

Napans are blue.

Don't recall any Asian analogues beyond one of the Letherii continent sub-cultures; I wonder if Assail will have East Asian patterned inhabitants (physically, that is).

Edited Correction: Itko Kanese apparently have "tilted" eyes, which I'd forgotten, and can only assume gives them an Asiatic appearance - along with long, dark hair. So I believe Apsalar, at least, looks perhaps Eurasian.

[RaZjInSaR]

excellent! so can we make a language for some nice little demon race and start using it on the board

[Illuyankas]

Meh, one of them are, anyway. And Pust seems funnier when you imagine him blue.

[RaZjInSaR]

i like his donkey

[Grimjust Bearegular]

man, Mr Erikson needs to be a bit more generous with his descriptions...I never would have imagined Pust as black

[RaZjInSaR]

lets get him to do a list of characters with full descriptions so grim and other noobs can draw them and i claim as my own

You wouldn't have imagined something that was described clearly in three different books?

[RaZjInSaR]

lmfao true theres been afew i cant remember what i read 1 hr ago i just see things from those descriptions that just sit in a brain i need a new one

[The Rope]

barghast are black?
i like QB as looking more like don cheadle with no hair... and young.
Djimon is more like Kal (as he appears in Four Feathers, not constantine or island)

Hmm, close ... but I've always pictured Quick as having a rather lean face, even moreso than Don Cheadle. Lean overall, in fact - almost scrawny.

And I've got a mental image of Kalam as having a body like Karl Malone, but a different face.

nope, that's the way my imagination works:D

but I can't remember reading anything about Pust being black, I guess I need to re-read the books more carefully, eh?

[The Rope]

I'v just been re-readin GotM (maybe its on of these "GotMisms" everyone refers to..) and the Barghast seem to be more like Woads (ancient scots/celts).

Where it say they black?

Hmmm, now that you ask ... I don't remember. Paran's initial description in GotM only mentions black hair. I could swear there were a few random references to various Barghast being dark skinned, in MoI. I'll check tonight.

[Thelomen Toblerone]

I dont recall anything about black Barghast, I know they often paint colours onto their skin but I dont know if the base colour is ever mentioned.

And as for actors playing rols; Morgan Freeman would have to play either Shadowthrone or Pust. It'd be brilliant.

I always pictured QB as black, bald and lithe, with big eyes (that have the capacity for manic-ness).
