[quote]Tom turned to look at the new painting, also life size, it was a picture of a man in very ornate robes embroidered with runic symbols and emblems that Tom recognized as being tied to animages, and the Society of Learned Fellows. Thus he was an animage, Tom was certain.[/quote]
I am wondering something: How did Tom recognize that those symbols were tied to animages and the Society of Learned Fellows?
I am sure Maelin could have told him about that kind of thing but Tom was pretending to be more knowledgeable than he actually was and so wouldn’t have gone over this with Maelin. So, how did he know?
