Talk:Belgarion

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

ÊCategory:Fictional magicians is wildly inappropriate in this setting. The term magician, in this setting, is highly derogatory when applied to sorcerors. ("Magicians" are demon-summoners.) I realize that the category simply implies magic-users, but it gives the wrong impression in this case. Is there anything better we could use?

Perhaps create a new category?

Also: David Eddings has not written the books entirely on his own. According to the foreword on Belgarath: The Sorcerer Leigh Eddings, his wife, has contributed significantly to the creation of the series, and the foreword argues, that it's time to give credit where credit's due: The cover pages of Belgarath: The Sorcerer and Polgara: The Sorceress say David and Leigh Eddings. 01:11, 7 Jun 2006 (GMT +1)

Like his aunt and grandfather, Belgarion is an extremely powerful sorcerer and therefore has an extended lifespan, though he is not immortal like his relatives (being disciples of gods allows mortals to live for an indefinite amount of time).

Having read both series more than 10 times, I still can't remember where it is explicitly stated that Garion is not immortal. I just can remember that the weaker Grolim Priests are not immortal. -- Pkxl2

Since when is Garion "weaker". I was under the impression that he was almost, if not more, powerful than Belgareth. That would put him among the top three sorcerers in the world, who are all imortal.

[edit] Garion IS immortal

In all the places in the books where it was mentioned, where i can remember, the book actually implied that Belgarion was, infact, immortal. Like the conversation between Belgarion, Silk, Sadi, and Belgareth, about the advantages of immortality
