Belgariad: Difference between revisions

* [[Noodle Incident]]: Silk gets several, including but not limited to: interfering with a ploy of Bethra's involving the Nadrak ambassdor, causing her to attempt to have him killed; being smuggled out of Cthol Murgos by a Thullish lady of high station, possibly for reasons related to the also-never-clearly-explained incident which led to the death of the Murgo crown prince; and fleeing Tol Honeth "posing as an acrobat in a travelling circus, and about one jump ahead of the police".

* [[No Periods, Period]]: Averted in the prequel. Polgara narrates the moment when she and Beldaran became women overnight, of which there was "fairly visible evidence all over the bedsheets".

* [[The Not-Secret]]: Much of the Drasnian spy network's doings. Nobody is surprised whenever a lowly Drasnian merchant turns out to be a top spy, and it seems everyone and his brother knows the secret sign language. However, the Drasnian leadership's attitude toward this situation suggests that this may all be part of their operational procedure, allowing some secrets to slip out in order to better spread disinformation.

* [[Obfuscating Stupidity]]: Belgarath has elevated this to an art form. Garion's not bad either. Anheg uses it with great skill for political purposes.
