Dear Ernst,
I agree with most of the Consultants’ suggestions. I know these are layouts and thus rough, but in the finals, the women really need to be wearing dresses. Even in the first image, they wouldn’t be wandering about in just their shifts, especially since they have come all the way from their rooms in the Blue Ajah quarter down to the Accepted’s Quarters. Both would be wearing something fairly plain, in wool most likely, though Moiraine may have silk. Each has a white ribbon of mourning tied to her hair on either side of her face like forelocks, while Moiraine also has long, lace-edged kerchiefs tied around her upper arms so that the ends dangle to her wrists.
Page 15, panel 2 and panel 4. Here Tamra is shown in a coffin. She would be wrapped in a shroud and laid atop a bier of wood. No coffin. A correction for the script. The panel 3 caption should read: “According to Tamra’s wishes, her body was to be consumed by fire and her ashes scattered across the grounds of the Tower by the sisters.” Fire should not be capped here.
Regarding Sierin Vayu on pages 16 and 17, please heed to the Consultants’ comments. She is as they describe, not as drawn.
Page 18, panel 4. You can shift Moiraine’s ring to another finger, but in fact, an Aes Sedai can wear her ring on any finger she chooses or not at all.
Take care, Ernst.
All my best, Jim
