Description The eldest of the Firstborn was Viror Whitewind; he was the color of sunlight on snow, and of swiftness....
The middle child was Grizraz Hearteater, as gray as shadows and full of strangeness....
Third-born was Tangaloor Firefoot. He was as black as Meerclar Allmother, but his paws were red like flame. He walked alone, and sang to himself.
--Tailchaser's Song, Tad Williams

Yay kitties with ketchup-legs!

Wow, they look great! But I can't stop thinking about what happens to Grizraz... Ugh.

Love your interpretation of these characters. It's really quite sad that Warriors has legions of fans and fansites and fanart and fanfictions and roleplays...and this superior work, which completely blows Warriors out of the water, has almost no recognition or fan-love whatsoever.

try abebooks.com. I'd recommend the used bookstore in my town since I've seen more than one copy there but chances are it wouldnt' help you too much. abe is the next best thing. Or try here: [link] I checked and they have at least one copy (used) and they might ship.

I always forget amazon because i usually look for sites that accept paypal. i bet amazon would have it though. Such an amazing book. I need to read it again. I always recommend it to people who are fans of the warriors books. I haven't read those ones but I think that's probably best because I'd just be sitting there comparing the books to Tailchasers Song.

Really, I don't think I have a single complaint for this picture. Except...
Whitewind looks like he could loose a few pounds. xD Kidding.
It's very accurate, and very pretty.

You know, it's interesting to look back at Tad William's first book and then look at the stuff he wrote later. There are many characters that resemble each other.
