Morghanna - does it mean anything?

I'd forgotten about Stealer of Souls, I really liked that one too. And Siege of Sardath. I'm gonna have to look out all my old FF books next time I'm at my parent's house.
I don;t know if they've been mentioned yet, but I also loved Steve Jackson's Sorcery! quartet, (The Shamutai Hills, Khare: Cityport of Traps, the Seven Serpents and The Crown of Kings) since they were all really long and you could play as a warrior or a wizard.

Hey all. If these are the type of books I think they are, I have one called 'Demons of the Deep' - grand stuff. On the fantasy side of things - anybody know of R.A.Salvatore, my favourite author? Not many will know the name, I guess.. but he did write the book for the second Star Wars film, 'Attack of the Clones'. I'm appalled that I haven't read that yet, but I'm a pure fantasy type of reader rather than space-incorporated science fiction.
As far as the mythology goes as to the name, I should imagine that some names were derived from this kind of myth, and will be widely used in more instances than Knightmare. For instance, doing some reading the other day, I came across the term 'Motley' in a poem by... geez, can't find it - will edit in if I do; and I'm sure everyone knows already - but motley is the term for the multi-coloured patchwork clothing of jesters, and so that's where our resident KM fool got his handle from.
I didn't know that at all; just a thick arts student, trying to take Joint honours. Good point to think of, though.
Agreed with Dave, Morghanna was brilliant; S3, Tm6 - favourite death! Yippee. Yeh, one thing I really loved about characters such as Morghanna was that with an actor or actress playing two such widely differing roles, it really does show the acting ability there, because in many instances you don't immediately associate with one character 'oh, he/she plays .. as well'; because they're so different and solid in their own right. Loved the way that many actors; offhand John Woodnutt, Natasha Pope, Michael Cule, Sam Perkins, Juliet Henry-Massy, Mark Knight for cert ... a fair few, played one or more characters on opposing sides, really meaning that the portrayal had to be really different. Really clever how that was organised - brilliant. And somebody asked me the other day, 'Why do you like Knightmare so much?' - I couldn't answer - for I knew not where to start; and once started, I'd never know where to end... like this post... KaM

As well as Paul Valentine (Motley/Hands) and Cliff Barry (Lissard & Raptor/Brother Strange)....
is worth checking out if you haven't done so already

raises hand I'm a D&D geek, so I know who R.A. Salvatore is! Never actually read any of his Forgotten Realms books though, since I can't stand Drizzt "Oh the angst!" Do'Urden. (in fact I always kill him and steal his stuff in Baldur's Gate)
I prefer fantasy to sci-fi as well, my favourite authors being Sara Douglass, Raymond E. Feist and David Eddings.

I've read three of R.A Slavatores books
the last book of the black elf trilogy is my fawouwrite and I've read almost all of David Eddings books. I'm currently reading Reginas song and A magic kingdome for sale, sold! (by Terry Brooks)
