She told him as much.įaint sounds of distant laughter, conversation, and singing drifted into their quiet sanctuary.
No doubt the village children, still reveling in the wedding celebration, had been chasing the chickens from a favorite roost on the squat wall outside the spirit house. The brief squawking on the other side of the door had ceased. "Or maybe they're grouchy because we kept them awake most of the night." "Maybe your grandfather is pestering them now, too." When he didn't reply, she tilted her head back to squint up at him in the dim firelight. Kahlan nuzzled tighter against his shoulder. He was a skilled and knowledgeable warrior and leader, among the best in the village.Īfter getting to know Kahlan during their trek to Aydindril, Chandalen came to understand and respect her and considered her a good Mud Person."I wonder what’s bothering the chickens," Richard said. Nonetheless, he was dedicated to his people and wanted only the best for them. Prejudice Protecting the Mother Confessor Rescuing the Prelate and the First Wizard Elder Personality and traits Ĭhandalen was a short man with a shorter temper especially towards outsiders of the mud people, he was also egotistical and narcissistic, he took to blaming Richard and Kahlan for every bad thing that happened in the village. The Bird Man sent a hunter to bring Chandalen and his group back when Richard and Kahlan returned. The Bantak regarded Richard with awe and believed him when he said he was a wizard. They were able to convince the Bantak that they were being led by false spirits. The Bantak did come from the north as Richard said. Chandalen refused to believe that, and the elders let Chandalen take the warriors to the east. Richard said the Bantak would come from the north. Richard told the elders that the killed enemy was the son of the Bantak spirit guide, and that the Bantak would be driven to attack the Mud People because the Mud People killed him.Ĭhandalen said he would take his warriors to the east and stop the Bantak if the vision was true.
Chandalen refused to believe the vision because the Bantak are peaceful people. He had a vision of the Mud People being attacked by the Bantak. In preparation to call the ancestors, Richard Cypher ate the meat of the enemy that he had killed in order to protect Chandalen. Rahl unable to harm Richard, due to him being protected by the markings on his body that allow him to communicate during a gathering, took out his rage on the many who died. Chandalen inherited the position of protector, he is very proud of his lineage and his abilities.Īfter the death of many Mud People at the hands of Darken Rahl, Chandalen placed the blame of their deaths solely at the feet of Richard Cypher, who Rahl had been hunting. He taught the Mud People how to hide in the grasses, and how to fight against a much larger foe, as well as the use of weapons such as spears, knives, and the troga. Chandalen's grandfather was an elder when the Mud People were a peaceful tribe, and taught them how to kill outsiders after the Jocopo started war with them. He was the strongest warrior of the Mud People prior to Richard and Kahlan joining the tribe.
