It would be more interesting if he was a noble RugbyPlayingAshaman Send a noteboard - 25/03/2010 10:03:57 PM
Personally, I think the whole "hero coming from modest means" background has been done way too much. I'd be more interested in seeing a noble or insanely rich person having to learn to deal with commoners and "real people".

His approach to dealing with Aes Sedai would have been more nuanced, too.

Ironically, the hero of humble origins is itself a reaction to the previous noble hero. - 25/03/2010 11:04:01 PM 807 Views

When you say "should"... - 25/03/2010 10:16:01 PM 892 Views
I think he's simple because of the reasons you give for the nobility - 26/03/2010 01:17:39 AM 849 Views
