    So I went with a more current witch.
    Did you try it under Lady Morgana or Morgraine?

    You can say that again!

    I dont have to change mine so! There are lots of bad faeries in the Bitterbynde Saga, and she's a bad faerie. (yes i know i'm lazy but i cant think of anything else!)

    Good old Dracula. The Goths still go to the annual vampire festival in Whitby each year.

    Eöl, The Dark Elf

    Then Eöl looked into the eyes of King Turgon, and he was not daunted, but stood long without word or movement while a still silence fell upon the hall; and Aredhel was afraid, knowing that he was perilous. Suddenly, swift as serpent, he seized a javelin that he held hid beneath his cloak and cast it at Maeglin, crying ‘The second choice I take and for my son also! You shall not hold what is mine!’ But Aredhel sprang before the dart, and it smote her in the shoulder; and Eöl was overborne by many and set in bonds.

    That is very much Moby Dick, it's just the Japanese cover! Tricky, tricky!
