In Response To: "of the Scholomance" (Stinger)
You're right, it is interesting. From context I'd think it was a place. I'm thinking specifically of a school at the University of Covenant, a college for sorcerers. Mance, though it's usually used in reference to divination (cartomancy, oneiromancy, etc.) can also refer to any kind of magic (necromancer, pyromancer, etc.). We know that the warlock hero could have had a permanent chair at the University of Covenant, so I'd guess either the scholomance is there and he left looking for something big (like a runestone) or it's somewhere else and he went there hoping to find whatever he was looking for. It makes me think of the Black College (I think that's what they called it) in "The White Rose", where Bomanz the sorceror studied and then left in search of ultimate knowledge--specifically the knowledge of immortality, which he hoped to learn from (the) Lady. My feeling--and this is pure conjecture--is that the scholomance is Avatara U, where Alric and his buds used to go. Imagine the keggers at a place like that! The warlocks, then, would be people who wanted to be Avatara but just couldn't make the cut. Then again, there's some suggestion that the avatara are based in Madrigal, not Covenant... my head hurts. Again.
