Hi not sure where to send questions but I was reading a different series when a question for this series occured to me. Air Thier Feathered Serpents like Coatl in this fantasy world and if so are they smart/sentient like Dragons, Sea Serpents, and Hydras? How many intelligent beast exist? I can guess all the God beast kids are but when are we going to get a chance to see a turtle, Phoenix, or Tiger.
Andrew Rowe
There are feathered serpents (and they're intelligent), but I wouldn't refer to them as coatl, since that has an Aztec-specific meaning.
You'll likely see some feathered serpents further down the line, but I'm not 100% sure when yet.
I haven't counted the number of intelligent species, but in the hundreds, since there are multiple separate species native to each dominion (e.g. multiple types of elementals, each of which I'd consider a separate species).
There's something phoenix-related in Diamantine and you'll see more phoenix-related stuff in Soulbrand (as well as future books).
I won't say anything more about turtles or tigers yet - hopefully someday.

are menders hedge wizards? I believe that life and earth provide access to wood. I am wondering if that allows for plant magic. If it does and if as some have speculated the guardian attunement gets earth as its third mana type will there by chance be a short story about Mara in the future where she revolutionizes farming?

I actually have a couple questions regarding questions that have already been asked. One was about how you got into writing. In your answer, you mentioned that you had written 8 books at the time of the answer, but only published three. 1: Would it be possible to read those other five books? The other question involved role playing games, however it was about a year ago. 2: Have you done any more work regarding this?

In AA2 we saw Keras help Corin make Bright Reflection, and you said Sera could help Corin make enchantments with her mana from her contracts could both Keras and Sera help Corin make artificial attunements with their mana? Also in AA2 Keras said that he couldn't help too much with enchantments because of his shroud is that unique to him or would someone like Wrynn Jaden also affect Corin's enchantments?
