: Hello!
: I have a few questions that I was wondering if anybody might be
: able to answer. In Gate of the Cat Yonan calls out to Ninutra
: and Glydys. Who is Glydys??? And he calls out to Ninatur, who
: is that??? I have not had the chance to read Lore of the Witch
: World, Four from the Witch World and Tales of the Witch World
: 1,2, and 3. Have I missed anything to do with the Witches of
: Estcarp? They are my favorites!!! I once read that Ms. Norton
: often based characters and groups on things in real life. Does
: anyone know what she based the Witches of Es on??? Well thanks
: for any help!Well, Ninatur is probably one of those famous typos and is really supposed to be Ninutra. There are many such errors in the texts (such as Jerby and Jorby both referring to a port town in High Hallack, maybe also Jurby). Ninutra was an Adept, and I think Glydys was too, although I haven't had time to check. I don't know what the Witches of Estcarp are based on, if anything directly, although she did once say that there were some Wiccan aspects to some of the things she had devised (Ms. Norton is not herself Wiccan, or at least she wasn't when she made that comment).
