How did you get to read the Series?
+
'''Why did you choose Val'Cueran?'''
It was something I had fallen upon some ten years ago a new store opened up and that was the only book that took my fancy I didn't complete the series until I found this site.

Sayerin she's lovely I wouldn't change her for the world.
+
Can loyalty be ferocious? My friends are better at answering the loyalty question. I would probably travel in a pack but sometimes it's better to travel alone or with my partner. :D As for warm milk that's kinda yuck! I hate the skin that forms on the top. :P 
  
Who is your mentee, if you have one?
+
'''What male character from the novels do you think would fit best in Val'Cueran?'''

'''How long have you been a fan of the Wheel of Time series?'''
Sure Real Life Fuctions are great been only to two so far I hope to attend many more as the time goes on. I feel that people go to them because they like to get to know each other a sense of connecting to someone who they feel understands them shares the values they hold dear.
