    It has been foreshadowed some, but I still rather dislike the idea of G'raha Nunh, just because there would be a lot of gender-essentialist baggage there, considering he's been pretty consistently depicted asexually (Aenore tries to get in his pants and just ends up confused). (EDIT: To clarify, I mean having no canonical interest, rather than a canonical lack of interest.) I know ARR tends to ignore the "voluntary sexual slavery" aspect of the nunh role on account of age ratings, conflating it with a position of "leader" instead, but even as subtext it makes me uncomfortable. I don't really think that suddenly dropping him into a situation where he (implied) has to regularly have sex with a bunch of women would really do anything for his character, except make him a "real man" or some such nonsense. (His single-minded devotion to the WoL is his selling point, not a character flaw, but that's an entirely different discussion.)

    I'd rather see him stick things out with the Students, and realize through his dealings with his tribe that he already had a "real" family: his father was Galuf all along, and his sister is Krile. So rather than G'raha Nunh, I think I'd rather see Raha Baldesion.
