If I remember correctly , the analogs to the races were described in The Rivan Codex, unfortunately I do not have my copy with me at university. Could someone who does reference this. Oh, and PS - please merge this information to Races in The Belgariad and make a redirect. QmunkE 09:06, 19 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I hear what you're saying, but do you really think it should be redirected? After all this is not information about the story - instead it's information about the process of writing the story. A slim difference I agree though - if you we think we should merge this that seems fair enough. Mikejstevenson 15:28, 19 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Now, correct me if I am mistaken, as I have not read the Rivan Codex in a few years, but doesn't David Eddings state that the Algars equate to the Cossacks and the Angaraks equate to the Mongols?--Sidhebolg 06:29, 10 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
