In its first major content move, the company has acquired rights to the first six books in Raymond E. Feist and Janny Wurts’ international bestselling fantasy book series The Riftwar Cycle for television. Writers Hannah Friedman (Untitled Pixar Feature, Disney+’s Willow, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Unt. Doug Liman Feature), Jacob Pinion (Fear the Walking Dead, Unt. Doug Liman Feature) and Nick Bernardone (Fear the Walking Dead, Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt) are attached to adapt the books for a potential series.

Mix well, stir, and pour. No mystery. The influences for how I designed the Tsurani originally for Magician were asian.I wanted the reader to have a huge sense of "culture clash" after the 1st half of the book was spent in a relatively European-esque environment. "

Damn it. I loved those books. Why...just, why.
Because the past that happened was bad and must be corrected for Year Zero. The records must be purged
