Mat quotes a section from a book written by a general 600 years ago. What section does he quote, what is the book, and who is it by?

 

[glow=brown,2,300]"Attack on ground where your enemy believes you will not, from an unexpected direction at an unexpected time.  Defend where your enemy believes you are not, and when he believes you will run.  Surprise is the key to victory, and speed is the key to surprise.  For the soldier, speed is life." from Fog and Steel by Madoc Comadrin[/glow]

[WWWwombat]

That's also from LoC Ch. 5 btw.

[WWWwombat]

[glow=brown,2,300]Also, from KoD Ch. 37:  "A general who draws his sword has put aside his baton and become a common soldier."  Also a quote from Comadrin, probably from the same book.[/glow]

[claireducky]

Bah... Madoc was around 600 years BEFORE HAWKWING, not 600 years ago.

[WWWwombat]

True but I don't think Mat directly quotes anyone else about military matters.

[claireducky]

No, you're probably right because I think Comadrin's book is the only one directly mentioned.  Just sent me off on a wrong course in my search because of the dates.

Correct

 

Ok, I can't seem to stump you guys and I'm having typos left and right. So last question before bedtime.

In Tomaka what happens to males who can channel?

[WWWwombat]

In Tomaka what happens to males who can channel?

 

[glow=yellow,2,300]In Tomaka, or Shara, all persons of channeling bloodlines are "marked with tattoos on their faces at birth.  No one with the markings is allowed to marry anyone without; any child of such a union is killed.  Tattoed males are killed in their twenty-first year, in any case, and cloistered before, ignorant even of how to read."[/glow]

 

LoC, Ch. 6

[claireducky]

In Tomaka what happens to males who can channel?

 

[glow=yellow,2,300]If they show signs of channeling or if they are 21, they are taken from the village hooded and cloaked as if they were being taken to breed, then they are killed and cremated.[/glow]

Who won Claire or Wombat, because they looked similar to me and i would imagine them both being right!
