Thoughts on Nogrod.
It's reasonable that
Nogrod is going to defend himself against
my king's little theory about him being the
BW. Odd, though, that the part of #133 he attacks is not the confusing bit where
Shasta seems to be arguing that "Seer"
Nog saying
Agan was a cobbler would somehow point to her as a wolf, but rather this:

So whoever the BW is s/he would do really bad trying to look like a seer as there is a real one to check that out - and to feel very uncomfortable with it. |
That's just plain weird, coming from a veteran like
Nogrod, who knows perfectly well that there's a long history of other roles impersonating the Seer. He's arguing for the improbability of something that happens
all the time. (Yes, I know
Shasta has already drawn attention to this, but really, I think it needs more.)
