Hmm... interesting...

For some reason I have always found Paran the hardest one to imagine in my mind. I don't know why. But that is perhaps one way I have seen him. I could see it working.

Heh, I'm with Tiste, but I could definitely see that working.

i always envision paran as being the pinnacle of nobility, in terms of looks. like that babyface kinda youthfulness, and all.

Well, in the first book, definitely, Trotts... But as the serious goes on, I see him becoming less noble and babyfaced handsome... he becomes darker, more rugged (if I dare use that word...

)

Not to mention seamed with scars, what happened to that?

Hello, soldiers, look at your mage, now back to me, now back at your mage, now back to me. Sadly, he isn’t me, but if he stopped being an unascended mortal and switched to Sole Spice, he could smell like he’s me. Look down, back up, where are you? You’re in a warren with the High Mage your cadre mage could smell like. What’s in your hand, back at me. I have it, it’s an acorn with two gates to that realm you love. Look again, the acorn is now otataral. Anything is possible when your mage smells like Sole Spice and not a Bole brother. I’m on a quorl.

I wondered about that too... Wasn't Paran described as blonde and blue/grey eyed btw?

judging by the rest of deegee's interpretations, he didn't read any of the physical descriptions.

Well, as I remember, he is described as dark haired...

too old. shouldn't have the beard. when I've got more time I'll find and link a painting that pictures Paran's face as I see it (by Royo)

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.
