Interesting questions!
Simplest one first: Hagai, being a dwarf, can't possess the half-Sight because the Sight is an Elven trait only. Any of the three races of Man might be born wizards, but only elves (or in Argo's and his sister's case, half-elves) may possess the Sight.
Yes, it was Sten who passed the Light of Mor Benn to Corax (and thence via Corax to the surviving wizards in the refuge at Threlland). Allazar's role in the Entikan's grand scheme of things was always to serve Gawain and Elayeen, and by standing in the Circles of Raheen with them, to imbue their children with wizardry. Yes, the circles elevated Allazar's powers and filled him with the knowledge of the Pangoricon, but his 'job' effectively ended with his teaching Argovayne the use of mystic weapons and getting him safely to his 18th birthday. The Shi'ell is 'the next generation', and thus the Light of Mor Benn is lit in Argo's friend Stentennen, not in G'wain's friend Allazar. Make sense? I hope so! :-)

Mr Kelly, I have been following your book now for quite awhile and have even read through the Longsword Chronicles several times, I was thinking of getting the continuation (The Shi'ell) from Google Play Store so any chance of that happening ? As in any plans in the near future for that. Thanks for your time.

Hi Mr. Kelly! First off, let me say book five was amazing and I can't wait to read more of the Shi'ell series!! So I just had a quick question: how old is Sten? I know he's younger, but I can't seem to recall an exact age. I have an approximation or exact age for everyone else, so I'd love to have his, if at all possible. Thanks, and good luck with the next draft :)
