![]() 'How can we defeat something like that?' burst out Lirael. It will take you a while to work out who or what Moggett and the Disreputable Dog actually are too: The Dog did not say anything more, and Moggett just kept staring at the letters. For if he is not to be the Abhorsen-in-Waiting, who or what is he? ![]() Sameth, the young Prince of the Old Kingdom, must cast around for his own place in the order of things. And Lirael isn't the only one who is called to perform a duty that may be beyond her. Nor do we know whether she has the power and self-confidence to do what is asked of her. What we don't know for sure is whether she has realized in time what her true calling is. You have to be born to it, and we know now, for sure, that Lirael is born to it. Well, it's not the kind of job description that anyone can just pick up and have a go at. She carries the bells of a necromancer into Death to quell and bind the restless spirits in Death and prevent them from passing into Life to prey on the living. ![]() And a really gifted Charter mage can cast boundaries and wards to control the malevolence of Free Magic. Spells of healing, protection, summoning and support. So, what is the Charter? It's a pool of constructive power that the Charter mages can draw upon when they cast their spells. They are dangerous beyond imagining, preying on Life from beyond the borders of Death. ![]() Without the Charter you would be at the mercy of the Free Magic elementals. If you visit the Old Kingdom you will soon feel the power of the Charter all around you. ![]()
