Thanks for creating this page, I think it was a good idea. i added links both to and from the main page on The Belgariad. In future if a page is split off the main page, please be sure it links both ways when created. DES 18:20, 26 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Minor characters

I've merged the contents of Minor Characters (Belgariad) into this article. User:Kingspoon66 was the original author of this. Realkyhick 15:20, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

Can I ask why this even exists as those five characters don't even appear in the Belgariad, they don't appear until the Mallereon.Wild ste 20:57, 1 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Minor Change

Eriond is not the third Child of Light, there have been hundreds through the ages, though most just for a few minutes. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.109.98.211 (talk) 08:49, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Belgarath

Belgarath the Sorcerer on this page currently links to the book that serves as his biography, which seems counter to standard practice to me. Shouldn't it be the other way around ("this page is about the book; for the character, see <anchor on the characters page>")? I'm not saying there needs to be a page for Belgarath (although, for a character who is co-eval to Gandalf in The Lord of the Rings within the Belgariad/Malloreon mythos and has his own book, it could be appropriate). In any case, I suggest beefing up the one-liner he has to set him apart as a principal character cf. Polgara, and then fixing the links. What do you all think? - Banazir (talk) 17:51, 15 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Protagonists

I don't think Sadi or Velvet are mentioned in the Mrin Codex. I think Cyradis identifies them as The Man who is no Man and the Huntress. I believe Poledra's identity is from the same source. I'd change this, but I'm not complete sure. I'm about to read the Mallorean again, so I'll check it then. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.93.204.1 (talk) 13:23, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
