The other six of the eight ... this was their thread, opened by PeregrineFalcon, on the original Scroll of Colors. Follow old discussions and see fanart from earlier times.

Visit Eresir's bio page, Hoykar's bio page, Oroleed's bio page, Talno's bio page and Yeyeen's bio page on Elfquest.com.

Aroree, Kureel and Reevol have threads of their own..

I'm still a bit confused over what it says in Yeyeen's bio page.

Quote :: Of all the Chosen Eight–and indeed the Gliders–Yeyeen retained a lightness of heart despite the moribund state of Blue Mountain.

I mean... I've gone through the pages she is in, but I never saw her smile. Only thng I know for certain that she said was that Dewshine is too heavily guarded.

Oh ... Yeyeen had a line?

I've wondered the same, Startear. Now that you made me think about it again ...
There was a novelization about the Blue Mountain part of the Original Quest. (Havn't had time and energy to read the English pocket book so far.) When it was handled like the novelization of the first 5 issues some characters and background stories are fleshed out a bit more.
Maybe the reference about Yeyeen can be found there.

I wen over one more time. The new comic reader took some time to get used too!

The things she said in the comics were these.

Siege at Blue Mountain 4

Quote :: "Here! She went through this passageway!"

"*gag!* Preservers! They will *cough* obey none but the wolfrider called Dewshine!"

*cough cough* She is too well guarded! We shall never reach her!"

Siege of Blue Mountain 5

Quote :: "Beaks and claws! What--?"

"Heh-heh! Those who serve must sometimes be served!"

That still isn't much to go on. :/

Haha, I didn't even consider that!

Copied over from my art thread. I mean, all the threads have a lack of fanart.

Startear wrote:: So, the last few days I've ben thinking about Yeyeen's bio, saying she had a lightness of heart despite never... showing it. And I decided to go a bit on that.

First some doodles with various poses, done without reference. She looked more as a silly goon, oh well.

And a classic "Too hot, hot damn pose." XD

Using only ink is not my forte.

*chuckes* Obviously Yeyeen had a good laughthen and now back in the "good old days". Laughing

I kinda like the second drawing, Startear - it reminds me of a harlequin. A bit funny, a bit pensive, a bit sad and a bit seductive. Besides those mixed associations ...

... there's something in this face that draws me in. Every.Single.Time.

Bit late to the party here, but I wonder; is that where we learn the name of the five other eight? Only Aroree, Kureel, and Reevol are actually named in the comics.

There was a "Chosen Eight centerfold" in one of the issues and the names were going with it. Same centerfold plus names was republished in the Wolfrider Guide.

We learned it in the centerfolds. Here you go: http://www.elfquestfanart.com/index.php?action=media;sa=item;in=3037

And in color (but without names): http://www.elfquestfanart.com/index.php?action=media;sa=item;in=3020

I know about the centerfold, but I wonder if the names were revealed somewhere else before that.

If they were told somewhere else then in the prose novel "Captives of Blue Mountain".
https://www.amazon.de/Elfquest-3-captives-blue-mountain/dp/044100492X

I don't know because I never found time to read it. Don't know either whether the prose novel or the centerfold was first.

Updating Links!

Here's a link to the Glider's Bio page section on Elfquest.com

And here's what's left of Their Thread on the original Scroll of Color's as saved by the Wayback Machine.
