Imps of Goldstone Wood discussion

Feel free to discuss excitement over Draven's Light!

So far, it reminds me of the Mines of Moria, which makes me more excited for it :D

It says, "In the darkness of the pit..." I wonder if this is referring to the Guta's pit?

I thought about Guta's pit too! It's hard to say...he certainly will show up again, I'm sure.

I think the pit would be the Dragon's Realm personally

Another very likely idea!

I haven't yet made many predictions, but . . . I think Jemma's idea sounds likely. Guta's pit would be interesting, though.

Remind me what Guta's pit is? All I can think is that it's one of the places Eanrin warned Starflower about in the clearing after she woke up in the book Starflower.

That's right, Emily. I don't have Starflower on hand right now, but in an interview on Hannah's blog (read the whole thing here: http://williamshsj.blogspot.com/2014/...) Eanrin stated this in response to the question of who would be the most dangerous person in the Wood:

"But which being of the Wood would present the most danger to your pretty self? So many answers may prove true. But I will speak with great caution of the devil Guta and his pit. Many a mortal has fallen prey to Guta. A more fiendish brute you never did meet, for he feasts upon pain itself. Guta is a subtle conniver, and many an evil Path through the Wood will wind its way to the lip of his pit. But keep a wary eye out! Should you spy a tree with branches bare, the trunk twisted and blighted, giving all the appearance of death . . . and yet it is not dead, but goes on living an agonized life . . . Ah! Then you know, Guta’s pit is near. If you see such a tree, avoid it at all costs, fair maid. For you will not see Guta himself in time."

Thanks, good to know! That certainly makes me curious.

Thanks so much for remembering that snippet about Guta's Pit, Athelas! I can't believe I forgot about it.

I've just pre-ordered it :D
