Probably about time for a new one of these threads.

Heyward: "I am going to need a wolf skull. Do not ask why."

Heyna: "Only if you also do not ask why."

Heyward: Pulls seven pristine wolf skulls from a bag. "Take your pick."

Heyna: "...This one will do."

I'm not asking for your overall favorite character, I'm asking for your favorite character for each individual book.... Not in the context of the other books, but that one specifically!!

Here are my current ones (I say current cause, you know, when I read 'em again I might change my mind) I'll do them in publication order:

The Green Ember: Maggie Weaver

The Black Star of Kingston: Jimmi Docker

Ember Falls: Heather Longtreader (not quite sure on this book)

The Last Archer: Jo Shanks

So developments in The Lost Legend got me to thinking about the various antagonists who have appeared and been defeated in the series by named hero characters. Thought it might be fun to go through and break the topic down. As a note, there will be SPOILERS for Helmer in the Dragon Tomb, both book and game.

A good number of named or significant antagonists are the only ones to have been defeated, and often slain, by a particular hero. Flint’s said to have defeated Firstfoe, but we don’t know much more than that. Mother Saramack may or may not have taken out the unsavory commander Usher. King Whitson is known to have slain a Grimble tribe captain named Forne. Lander, of course, was responsible for killing Namoz the Destroyer. And Emerson was responsible for taking out Falcowit, though with a bit of assistance.

Speaking of which, Kylen and Naylen…
