6-11: The Eldest

YAAAYYYYY! The comics are back! QDS has its fix for now!

Well, it looks like we have the answer to the question on how Quentyn was getting throught the mistwall. But who is this 'Eldest'? Besides someone with extraordinarily large eyebrows? It sounds like he remembers the first Quentyn. He reminds me a bit of Gandalf.

Nooo, you beat me to the first post!

on the flip side ... YAY for a new comic!

I think the eldest is just the oldest rac in the seven villages, does he hold any special position other than that? He seems to have a good memory (kinda) although i think when history repeats itself it can be a little confusing. "Didn't we just send off a Quentyn?"

the eldest was mentioned in the "between worlds" RP. mostly by Ralph.

I also love that line, it's been what, a hundred years? well, to something that can live to what 250 of em, a hundred years is still memorable.

I wonder what they consider "a long time"?

I find the design of the passkey kinda neat.

The Rac Cona equivalent of the President of the United States of America?

Eldest: Fretch me my cushon Donar.
Donar: Yes your oldness.
Eldest: Don't sas me boy.

Okay, the village of Freeman Downs has its Council of Elders, right? Why should it surprise us that the entire Seven Villages has a Council of Elders? And this particular racconan is the eldest of the elders, otherwise known as The Eldest.

In other words, he is the oldest racconan in all of the Seven Villages.

Should not surprise us that he knew O'Ridgedale.

And I have never seen Quentyn look so honored before.

I love this old coot.

Makes me wish I could get to meet him. He'd have a lot of cool stories to tell.

Kinda like another old fogey I know of...

I hope Quentyn gets some time to hear more about Quentyn I from the eldest. He may have information that will be useful about the first quest.

So you need a passkey to get out of the Mistwall?

Is the round thingie in the other Racconnan's hand the passkey?
And what does the Chinese looking characters at the upper commmission mean, if anything?
BTW, if the Eldest was very old and yet survived the Scarlet Plague, it is just barely possible that he was a little kit in the days of Rossad, three centuries ago.

Anybody else noticed that the eldest just declared for the free traders?

The expansionists try to smear QoR and the very eldest says that he was the finest of questors. That's a shot across the bow that nobody on the inside is going to miss.

Nice.

It means "Love you forever." I kid you not.

BTW, is he blind? His eyes look like it. Maybe he kenned Quentyn's white forelock?

He is blind. RH mentioned it in that RPG. He's blind and the only way he sees is threw his lux-sight.

Must have missed or forgot that little note. Thanks!
