<div>An [[elderling]] creation made of [[memory stone]] gravel. The road enhances [[Skill]] ability but people who do not know how to control themselves can become confused and possibly lose their mind all together. Nothing seems inclinded to grow on or about it for several feet, even animals avoid crossing it. The roads are built very straight unless it can't be helped and [[Skill-pillar]]s and placed by it.<br />

<hr />
<div>The walls of the [[Buckkeep]] castle contain a secret labyrinth. It is a large maze and apparently only [[Chade]] knows all of its parts. It was build partly on purpose and partly in accident: the castle has been rebuilt and extended over and over again since the original wooden keep was captured by [[Taker]] and destroyed in fire. Some parts of the labyrinth are old and abandoned servant's stairs and other parts have been constructed with the possibility of spying in mind. The labyrinth seems to reach every possible part of the keep except for the [[Queen's Garden]].<br />
<br />
==Known areas of the labyrinth==<br />
<br />
* A secret door opens to long stairs from [[Fitz's room]] to [[Chade's tower room]]. Those two rooms are also connected through the fireplaces in them.<br />
* A secret door opens from the adjacent servant's chamber of [[Lord Golden's chambers]] to stairs within the keep's walls<br />
* [[Seawatch tower ]] has an opening to the labyrinth<br />
* [[Kettricken]]'s chambers are connected to it<br />
* [[Chade's tower room]] has at least three different entries (through the scroll rack to [[Lord Golden's chambers]], through the wine rack which presumably goes to the servant's quarters as this was usually Thick's entrance, and the stairway to [[Fitz's room]])<br />
* There are six entry points in the servants' areas <br />
**One of them is near the cook's larder<br />

<hr />
<div>'''Prilkop''' is a former [[White Prophet]] who had turned black and lived on the island of [[Aslevjal]]. He had lost his [[Catalyst]] of whom we do not know his or her name and waited for another [[White Prophet]] and [[Catalyst]] (i.e. [[The Fool]] and [[Fitz]], although at first he thought it was the [[Pale Woman]] and [[Kebal Rawbread]].) to arrive on the island. He gives a possible explanation that the fevers relate to the White Prophets impact on the future and fate:<br />
<blockquote><br />
<br />
|Perhaps as we cause change,<br> we change.<br />
<br />
<br />
</blockquote><br />
He also mentions the [[School of the White Prophets]] at [[Clerres]], which he and the Fool attended to when they were young. His age is never revealed, but he is much older than the Fool; when they speak of the Fool's childhood very little remained the same as he remembered from his.<br />

<hr />
<div>Queen Desire was the second wife of King [[Shrewd]] and mother of Prince [[Regal]]. She was in line to be the Duchess of [[Farrow]] until she married the King, due to a law in the [[Six Duchies]] that declares when one member of the nobility marries another, the one with a lesser title must give up their land, for one cannot fully steward two duchies. Mother to an illegitimate son [[Galen]].<br />
<br />
Towards the end of her life, Desire started to make claims that she would have held more power as the Duchess of Farrow then as the Queen, and that her heritage contained more [[Farseer]] blood then that of [[Constance]], Shrewd's previous wife, so her son had a better claim to the throne then Chivalry simply being first-born, though this arguement never had any sway on Shrewd. These claims were often brought on by Desire's use of various drugs such as [[merrybug]] and [[carryme]]. It was said that as soon as Shrewd persuaded her of one, she took to another.<br />

<hr />
<div>The Queen's Garden is located at the top of one of [[Buckkeep]]'s circular towers. The walls of the garden where high on the sides that faced the sea and low where they faced inland. The garden is usually filled with potted plants, rock basins and bird baths.<br />
<br />
In the times before Queen [[Constance]] died, it was used as an area for the residing Queen and her ladies in waiting to relax and tend to the greenery that grew there.<br />
<br />
While Queen [[Desire]] reigned, the garden fell into disarray and was rarely used. [[Galen]] chose this area to hold his [[Skill]] lessons.<br />
<br />
When Queen [[Kettricken]] came to Buckkeep, the garden was returned to its former use but with a new mountain theme to it.<br />
<br />
One of the advantages of the garden is that it is completely secure from the eyes and ears of any spys that may try to observe any happening that may go on in the garden.<br />

<hr />
<div>Prince [[Dutiful]] is believed to be the first to create a Wit Coterie. A group of witted individuals gradually became his advisers and confidentes on the quest to slay [[Icefyre]] in [[Aslevjal]], slowly becoming known as a coterie. The coterie was made up of [[Civil Bresinga]], the minstrel [[Cockle]], [[Swift]] and [[Web]].<br />

<hr />
<div>The '''Skill-coterie''', when formed in the traditional and right way, is a mutually chosen group of six people who are trained in the [[Skill]] to aid the reigning [[Farseer]] monarch. Those [[Skill-user]]s who have not formed bonds and therefore coteries will serve their monarch as [[Solo]]s.<br />
<br />
<br />
It was customary that the [[Skillmaster]] would regularly seek out youngsters who showed potential for the Skill and bring them to [[Buckkeep]] for instructing them. Strong [[Skill-user]]s have always been rare, and there were seldom more than two or three coteries in existence at any time. King [[Bounty]] discontinued the practise of building these coteries, probably believing that restricting the [[Skill]] only to the highest royalty would increase their power.<br />
<br />
== Known Skill-coteries ==<br />
<br />
* [[Stanchion]]'s coterie (Stanchion, [[Gull]], [[Kestrel]] and two others)<br />
* [[Crossfire]]'s coterie (Crossfire, [[Cleave the Blind]], [[Hist the Halt]], [[Joiner]], [[Kevin]], [[Porter]], [[Sever]])<br />

<hr />
<div>'''Girl-on-a-Dragon''' (originally announced as [[Realder's Dragon]]) was a [[stone-dragon]] named after the [[Skill-coterie]] member who gave heart to it, [[Realder]]. It stayed incompleted because [[Salt]], the leader of the coterie carving it, didn't want to lose her individuality and tried to keep herself separed in the girl part of the statue. <br />
<br />
When seing her in the [[stone quarry]], [[the Fool]] felt sorry for her and started carving out the Stone-dragon with his [[Skill]]-touched fingers. After [[Fitz]] helped him by putting some of his memories in the Stone-dragon, Girl-on-a-Dragon came to being and finally flew away with [[Verity-as-Dragon]] to end the [[Red Ship War]].

<br />
After the flight to end the Red Ship Wars Girl-on-a-Dragon came to rest in the [[Stone Garden]], along with the other stone dragons.<br />

<div>A standing stone made of the black [[memory stone]] with runes marked on its sides indicating the different destinations a [[Skill-user]] can travel to through it. The Elderlings did not use them much, fearing the effects they could have. [[Prilkop]] described them as taking something out of you whenever one used them. A map of the world with the locations of the pillars was found in the tower buried in ice and snow on [[Aslevjal]] <br />
<br />
Recovered Skill scrolls suggested that accidents had happened to novice skill users and this was why the knowledge of their use was so severly restricted and why the direction markings on many of the pillars were removed.<br />

<hr />
<div>'''Elderling's''' are a race of people from the myths of the [[Six Duchies]], who, by looking at their ancient relics were an advanced civilization who apparently possessed an abundance of [[Skill]].<br />
<br />
== Appearance ==<br />
<br />
Although the descriptions of their physical traits are never consistant, it is hinted that they are long-limbed and often have scaley growths. The [[Ambassador]] mentioned in ''The Golden Fool'' is most likely an Elderling, and looks almost how a [[dragon]] might look if it were human. <br />
<br />
It has been speculated by [[The Fool]] that Elderlings were men and women who were privileged enough for dragons to allow them to spend most of their lives near them. This resulted in the two species became integrated to a degree. Once Eldering, they had extended lifespans but with much reduced fertility, meaning that children were not born often but when they were they were much treasured. <br />
<br />
The dragon's opinions on their young that showed similar integration was not not so positive, outcasting such offspring with human characteristics - probably to become [[Others]].<br />
<br />
== Elderlings As Plot Points ==<br />
<br />
The Elderlings are first mentioned through myths that [[Fitz]] is told as a child growing up, the most prominent mention of a tapestry that hung in his room for all of his time at [[Buckkeep]] showing King [[Wisdom]] greeting an Elderling.<br />
<br />
They later play a much larger part in the [[Farseer trilogy]], with the finding of a map which appeared to show routes to the lands of the Elderlings persuading King-In-Waiting [[Verity]] to go on a desperate quest to save the Six Duchies by ending the [[Red Ship War]]. Verity seemingly vanished, though it was later revealed by [[FitzChivalry]] that he had ventured into long forgotten Elderling cities, using [[Skill-pillar|Skill Stones]].<br />

<div>[[Image:The-Mad-Ship-portISO.jpg|thumb|The Mad Ship Paragon by [[John Howe]]]]<br />
<br />
'''Paragon''' was the [[liveship]] of the [[Ludluck|Ludluck family]], Paragon was build of two different [[wizardwood]] cocoons, resulting in an ongoing battle between the two [[dragon]]s within himself. Paragon referred to them as [[the Greater]] and [[the Lesser]]. He quickened too soon, and had not absorbed enough human memories to be strongly centered in them, so his identity was shattered from the beginning. <br />
<br />
Paragon's figurehead was later re-carved by [[Amber]] into that of a man strongly resembling [[Fitz]]. Amber also crafted Paragon an axe and engraved a charging buck on the handle, which tightens the link to Fitz as he was suited to using an axe in battle and the buck is a symbol used by the [[Farseer]]s of the [[Six Duchies]]. <br />

<div>[[Image:Backcover-FOOLS-ERRAND.jpg|thumb|An Other on the Treasure Beach by [[John Howe]]]]<br />
Encountered on the [[Treasure Beach]] by [[Kennit]] and by [[Fitz]] and [[Dutiful]] when travelling through a [[skill-pillar]]. There is some suggestion that they are [[dragons]] who spent too much time in human company and who therefore took on some human characteristics; much as [[Elderling]]s did in reverse. They are somewhat frog-like in appearance with venonous claws. They have the [[Skill]] or some similar magic which they use to alter their appearance to the minds of the unwary. They are terrified of cats.<br />

<div>[[Image:Tintaglia.jpg|thumb|[[Tintaglia]] by [[John Howe]]]]'''Dragons''' hatch from cocoons that [[sea serpent]]s have spun around themselves after migrating from the sea up the [[Serpent River]] and spending the winter encased in the memories of their race.<br />
A male dragon is called a ''drake'' whereas a female is a ''queen''.<br />
==Size and looks==<br />
Dragons are as large as a ship and their wings are almost as large as their bodies in length. Their skin is scaled and the color of their skin varies. Not to be confused with [[Stone-dragon]]s, although this was often a common mistake.<br />
Dragons have the habit to take whatever they want. If they see a deer from the sky, they will jump on it and eat it if their hungry.<br />
==Relations to humans==<br />
The relation between dragons and humans is a difficult one because dragons are of the opinion that humans are like childeren, because they live much longer than humans and consider themself therefor more mature then humans. But dragons can make deals with humans although they will see it as indulgence from their side towards the humans who should be thankfull for that.<br />
==Relations to Elderlings==<br />
The relation between dragons and [[Elderling]]s is a more complex one, because the Elderlings share their lives with them. Their relation might be compaired with a symbiose although this one seams to be a conscious symbiose.<br />
==Relations to Others==<br />
It is likely that the relationship to [[Others]] is similar to that of Elderlings, but in reverse. Whereas Elderlings were humans altered by their proximity to dragons, Others were probably dragons altered by their proximity to humans. <br />
==Known names of dragons==<br />
*[[Bolt, dragon]]<br />
*[[Draquius]]<br />
*[[Icefyre]]<br />
*[[Tintaglia]]<br />

<div>'''Elderling's''' are a race of people from the myths of the [[Six Duchies]], who, by looking at their ancient relics apprently possessed an abundance of [[Skill]].<br />
<br />
== Appearance ==<br />
<br />
Although the descriptions of their physical traits are never consistant, it is hinted that they are long-limbed and often have scaley growths. The [[Ambassador]] mentioned in ''The Golden Fool'' is most likely an Elderling, and looks almost how a dragon might look if it were human. <br />
<br />
It has been speculated by [[The Fool]] that Elderlings were men and women who were privileged enough for [[dragon]]s to allow them to spend most of their lives near them. This resulted in the two species became integrated to a degree. Once Eldering they had extended lifespans, but with much reduced fertility, meaning that children were not born often but when they were they were much treasured. <br />
<br />
The dragon's opinions on their young that showed similar integration was not not so positive, outcasting such offspring with human characteristics - probably to become [[Others]].<br />
<br />
== Elderlings As Plot Points ==<br />
<br />
The Elderlings are first mentioned through myths that [[Fitz]] is told as a child growing up, the most prominent mention of a tapestry that hung in his room for all of his time at [[Buckkeep]] showing King [[Wisdom]] greeting an Elderling.<br />
<br />
They later play a much larger part in the [[Farseer trilogy]], with the finding of an Elderling map persuading King-In-Waiting [[Verity]] to go on a last resort quest to ending the [[Red Ship War]], which the Six Duchies was currently losing. He seemingly vanished, though it was later revealed by FitzChivalry that he ventured into long forgotten Elderling cities, using Elderling created [[Skill-pillar|Skill Stones]].<br />

He quickened too soon, and had not absorbed enough human memories to be strongly centered in them, so his identity was shattered from the beginning. <br />

<hr />
<div>'''White Prophets''' are believed to be descendants of the ancient race of [[White]]s, but they are not a race themselves. Instead, White Prophets appear here and there from an ordinary folk with normal bloodlines. There is supposed to be only one White Prophet at any one time. They are born with white skin and colourless eyes, but each time they work a change in the world, they suffer from an illness that leaves them a shade darker.<br />
<br />
To each White Prophet, there is a [[Catalyst]] that only the White Prophet can recognize. Through and together with the Catalyst the White Prophet aims to alter the events of time into a better path, for it is believed that otherwise the events will only repeat themselves and lead us all into a deeper darkness.<br />
<br />
The philosophy about White Prophets and Catalyst is known in [[Jamaillia]] and the [[Six Duchies]], but its origins are far to the south. There is a [[School of the White Prophets]] far to the south in [[Clerres]].<br />
<br />
Known White Prophets include:<br />
<br />
* [[White Damir]]<br />
* [[Gant the White]]<br />
* [[Cabal the White]]<br />
* [[Hoquin the White]]<br />
and possibly<br />
<br />
* [[The Fool]]<br />
* The [[Pale Woman]]<br />
<br />
* [[Prilkop]], also known as the [[Black Man]] described himself as a failed White Prophet.<br />

<div>A standing stone made of the black [[memory stone]] with runes marked on its sides indicating the different destinations a [[Skill-user]] can travel to through it.
