Nov 27, 2009 0:33:44 Hi everyone. Happy Thanksgiving!

My wife got me a gift recently, Book 1 in the Thorn of Breland series: The Queen of Stone. So far, it's a great book. I'm looking forward to the story developing throughout this and the following books.

Anyways, I'm looking for an answer to this question from somebody who has read the book as well. Or, at the very least, from somebody who can take a quick look and get back to me.

My questions is about Thorn's race. I'm about 85% certain she's a gorgon/medusa, but there are times when I really feel I'm 100% wrong. So, could somebody help me out? I'd be very appreciative.

Thanks so much!

Nov 27, 2009 3:30:16 Thorn is a half-elf. If I remember correctly, her father was a Breland soldier and her mother an Aeranel elf*. At the start of the novel she wears the illusionary disguise to look like a medusa since it is a great way to avoid questions, and it saved her life when confronted with the mindflayer ruler of Greywall.

* Assuming those memories are really hers...
