- I think that Zedar got what he deserved, but not really to THAT extent of what
- he actually got. He did deserve some ....agrivation, but that is ...UGH! I
- think that since Zedar tried to fool Torak, that's when he made a mistake,
- which he discusses with Polgara, and they both get to the idea that he was
- born for this, his reason of WHY he was born in the first place. (I think it's
- a prophesy thing) Anyway, they were about to talk more about it when there
- was a fight between Zedar and Durnik, which you know about...obviously.
- Anwyas, I think that Durnik got very jealous when Zedar told Polgara that she
- would go to Torak when he called her and he just couldnt' control himself
- anymore and got so mad that he just didnt' think and attacked and got himself
- killed. In killing Durnik, that got Belgarath mad enough to just freak out
- and loose control of himself and do something horrible to Zedar. Maybe, the
- prophesy that was watching and nudging Garion's group, knew that there was no
- place in the "future" if Zedar was to remain...above ground so to speak. So
- zedar was...superfluous and needed to be rid of....do you know what I mean?
