If your eyes are both equally strong, then it doesn´t matter. I notice that I can not shoot straight if I hold a bow with my right hand. if I hold it with my left, I´m pretty good. YOu can easily test which eye is stronger, you stretch your hands and hold them together, forming a small hole between your two hands and then move it closer to your face slowly, keeping your eyes fixed on the hole. At some point you will automatically decidefor one eye to fix it. That´s your dominant eye and that shows you which side to pull the arrow with.  Heh, all the thigns one can learn in a convention workshop. ;D |

The way I learned was to hold your arms straight out and make a small hole with your hands. Aim it at the target with both eyes open. Close each of your eyes one at a time. One eye will cause the target to shift when closed. That eye is your "dominant eye." I am "left eye dominant" meaning I hold a bow with my right hand. I can hold a bow with my left hand, but I will have to close my left eye, causing strain on the eye. www.huntersfriend.com/eye-dominance-issues.htmI'm right-handed and I grab a bow with left hand, it isn't natural? Actually it is completely fine.  |

I edited Kriss' bio a bit, please read it and tell me if it's clear wrote Little explanation why I did it: I edited it cause I wanted to explain - the name of the tavern -where Anile's power which Caipra felt come from - how Kriss' got money for the tavern |

She was unhappy untill she met Kahlan ;D oh and Ziad of course ;D ;D He is the guy who make so happy ;D I thought the same today ;D For sure he would at least heard about Kriss and Shaigen. And for sure Norsmen still are looking for Kriss de Valonr, the only person who got the key to the Crown of Ogotay ;D ;D |

Hey, actually it will be interesting to see how Kal and Ziad will react once they find out Kriss was a pirate...  |

Kriss' route from the North to Basra
I thought that maybe some of you will find it intersting since many of us like all these historical and not only details ;D
This moth, I read an article in the comics magazine about how possibly Thorgal's route to Baghdad could look like. Guess, not only me was intrigued with that ;D The author of the plotline came out with his explonations.
Since Kriss route should look exactly the same I can tell more about that.
Ready? So we are setting sails!
Kriss and Shaigan lived somewhere in area of Åland Islands. Norsmen had their ports in the area of Gulf of Finland, Kriss and Aniel started their jouney from one of them. They flowed down the rivers (interconnected) of today Lithuania, Belarus, Ukraine and got Black Sea. They passed it and then from the south coast which was very well connected with Euphrates again they flowed down the river to Basra.
(Thorgal also had to get a ship from Basra to Baghdad)
According to that guy some ships were traveling through the wild lands and rivers of today Lithuania, Belarus, Ukraine and Poland ( ;D ) especialy these with the illicit goods from the East ;D around 8th century ( so it could work with AoS background)
He calculated Thorgal's journey for about 2-3 moths.
