[edit] Betrayal by patron
I was reading the subject, having freshly read The Legend of Huma, and it stated that Huma learned of his patrons betrayal to the Dragon Queen very early on. Having scanned the book again, it's quite clear that he did not learn of any such thing until already involved in the three tests in the mountains, where the fight with wyrmfather took place.
I have also corrected a statement in the article that says Huma questioned the Solamnic Knights, which he never did, or would. His temple was erected as an example of what all Knights should be, and he never wavered from Paladine.
there are other errors, which i will address when i wake up tomorrow. Namely, the article states the Takhisis is fighting for her life, which both Huma and the Dragon Queen both state is never at risk. Huma in fact says that he knows he cannot kill her because of the balance between good and evil, and only offers that his coming allies will torture her to no end.
It also attributes Huma with removing the lance from her, when it was Kaz, the minotaur that did so at his request, as Huma laid almost dead to the side.

- I just noticed that the article is filled with continuity errors myself. I see though that since you have freshly read the book that you will take care of cleaning the article up. The glaring one was that Huma pulled the lance from Takhisis, which he never did. Good luck!--Kranar drogin 10:58, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] The White stag
I changed some of the words around, and copy and pasted some, to make things more like 'the legend of huma', but the story of the white stag was a stickler.
Should the story of the white stag be included? it does not appear in the Legend of Huma, but does appear in... I think the chronicles.
The legend of Huma presents itself as the true telling of things, presented by Astinus, the record keeper and what not, to displace all legends and misplaced facts, and as unless i'm nuts, there's no stag.
Maybe put whatever chronicles book that white stag story came from (I'm almost positive it's the first. i think sturm has them follow a white stag as well, becuause of his belief in the story, into the city that fell under the earth... I can't pin the name, but you know what I'm talking about. where the gully dwarves live. The High Bulp.) should be included as a reference, and call it good?
at at least one point in 'the legend of huma' he sees a flash of white, but does not know what it was, and follows it.
I don't know how to add references though, so someone should !! :)
and if i'm wrong and the white stag IS in the 'legend of huma', then TELL ME THE PAGE because I almost read the whole thing over again looking.

- As far as I remember, the white stag appears in the Chronicles. There is a short story talking about how the stag became cursed, and I think Dezra's Quest also narrates something about that, but I am not sure about this last one. Feel free to add that information to the article for now, though. -- ReyBrujo 04:30, 22 September 2006 (UTC)
- I think it was something about Sturm seeing the stag and believing it was a sign from Paladine, and persuading them to follow it, which leads them to Xak Tsarok (don't remember that part). In Dezra's Quest, it detailes how Dezra went to Darken Wood to help save the Forestmaster from an evil parisitic tree taking over the wood, and going to the land of the nymphs for help? (something like nymphs, I think) ddcc 14:26, 22 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Still a lot of contradictions
This article is really suffering from a mashing together of sources, despite The Legend of Human being the only listed referance. I'm a little rusty on Chronicles, but I recall part of the tale of Huma is told from one character to another, and I believe much of it is represented on this page. This original account we're presented with is heavily on the side of myth and legend, and assumably not as authorative as the Legend of Huma, which describes the events from the perspective of them unfolding. If someone has all the books, this page would greatly benefit from seperating Huma's exploits into the actual events of the Legend of Huma, and characterizing the other tales as retellings or myths.

Aside from the White Stag event, which definately doesn't appear in Legend, I don't believe Huma is guided to the cave by Gilean, it's possible that Huma's mysterious guide is Gilean, but it's suggested to be Paladine in the book. Gwynneth is never refered to as Heart in the book and assumably aquires that name posthumously in retellings. Gwynneth also doesn't reveal her dragon aspect until much later, during the seige of Vingaard Keep. Gwynneth isn't dead when Huma takes the footman's lance.
