Category: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? [[User:Aranel| Aranel (" Sarah")]] 18:39, 25 Sep 2004 (UTC)
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.
---Garion isn't weaker. Her couldn't be. He was the child of light. And so was Poledra. I don't think Poledra was a sorceress was she? She was a child of light. Does that stays make you immortal? 3000 years away is a long time. --- — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.229.0.206 ( talk) 09:27, 2 November 2012 (UTC)
Senji proves me right. -- A Bothan Spy 11:03, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
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
(Garion) "Geran isn't going to be an only child. My friend up here in my head warned me to expect large numbers of daughters."
(...)
(Silk) "You're not going to have all that many daughters, are you? What I'm get at is that women are only of childbearing age for just so long."
"Silk," Garion said pointedly, "do you remember Xbell, that Dryad we met down near the River of the Woods in southern Tolnedra?"
"The one who was so fond of men–all men?"
"That's the one. Would you say that she's still of childbearing age?"
"Oh, my yes."
"Xbell is over three hundred years old. Ce'Nedra's a Dryad too, you know."
"Well maybe you'll get too old to–" Silk broke off and looked at Belgarath. "Oh, dear," he said. "You have got a big of a problem, haven't you?"
There have been more than three people/beings being able to touch it without being destroyed. To my recollection, Belgarion, Eriond, Geran, Aldur, Torak (first time), Belgarath and Poledra have touched it without being destroyed. Comments? 81.228.195.119 10:54, 13 May 2007 (UTC)
Can we use this or is it breaking copyright since it looks like its been scanned out of a book. Wild ste 20:52, 24 July 2007 (UTC)
Just a curiosity here folks, but do any of you find it odd that Beldaren has a "bel" in her name? I thought that all of the "sorceress's" got a "pol" for them. Just wondering what all you thought. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Lepromancer ( talk • contribs) 00:10, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
Just thought I would point out that Polgara and Dunkirk did have twin children which need to be added to the tree (I have no idea how to do it so if someone could, that would be great). Wild ste ( talk) 18:39, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
We don't no the names of the two children though.-- Stephen C Wells ( talk) 19:33, 28 May 2010 (UTC)
Another comment on the family tree- it shows Geran (Garion's father) as a descendant of Daran but not of the Rivan Kings- but isn't Geran descended from the line of the kings? 78.105.160.201 ( talk) 15:16, 7 August 2008 (UTC)
And Adara isn't Silar's daughter —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.242.221.83 ( talk) 02:48, 28 September 2008 (UTC)
Yet another comment on the family tree: Many of the here so-called "Rivan kings" weren't kings at all, since they were in hiding and were never crowned as kings. That box should have some other text in it. 213.112.70.168 ( talk) 22:22, 5 February 2011 (UTC)
