Let's see here... The Gaddhi and The Elohim. The Gaddhi was gutless and since I saw LotR before I read TCoTC, I kept getting a visual of the steward of Gondor when I tried to think of him. I just get disgusted everytime I read the death of the Haruchai at the hands of Nom...everytime. It's all his f...

Here's a site I thought a lot of you would find interesting. It's devoted to a self proclaimed Time Traveler that showed up on a message board a couple years back and had some well thought out explanations, as well as schematics for his time machine among other things. He eventually disappeared...Ba...

Other than obviously Covenant....

Lord Mhoram without a doubt.

After that, everyone else is in the books is a tie.
With the exception of the Elohim, Kaseryn, and The Gaddhi, whom I completely hate with a passion.

Very good point CovenantJr...I figured it was a stretch to say that she was the healer as apposed to just being descendant. But either way, I think she wants Linden to pay attention to her clothing. Because, I see several scenarios: #1- A Parallel storyline- The Unfettered Healer dresses Covenant in...

Lol...death dealer.
I think Frazetta's work is genius. It sells books, lots of books.It would be great if he would do some Covenant artwork.

but back on topic....

Everyone keep your fingers crossed, we're really hoping for a boy this time.

I haven't read all 19 pages of this thread yet, and do apologize if I'm rehashing someone else's idea. I could have sworn someone brought up an idea of the Mahdoubt being tied to the unfettered healer from TPTP. I can see that. Here are my ideas about her: Linden tries to remove the stains left on h...

Ok, I see what you mean, about what it meant to/and/or concerning the 2nd bargain. Maybe it's just me, maybe I'm unable to see it a different way. Maybe I'm unable to get past what I feel as opposed to what Covenant felt....I dunno, but it still seems wrong to me... Oh well, I still love Covenant an...

CovenantJr hit the nail right on the head ! He said what I wanted to...thank you. and to the above post (cuz I'm too lazy to go back and C&P)... The only problem I have with Covenant's feelings is that they are for his daughter, even after he learns that she is his daughter. Other than that(ince...

real enough to him for saving... yeah, I agree with that. er...that's what I meant, I don't think it was unbelief as much as his guard being up because he didn't want to be hurt so deeply. But, yes, I agree that it was real enough to him to want to save The Land...in any way, he still found some rea...

methanks you all !

That's right. It's official, my wife is currently pregnant with child #4. We're quite excited and hoping for a boy this time (already got 3 girls.) But health is more important to us above anything else. Sadly, this is the last child for us....a vasectomy is on the way... :oops: but nevertheless, it...

I think Covenant had believed in The Land for a while even in TIW. He damn sure fought against his belief but it sure seemed to me he found The Land quite real. Otherwise, he would have never tried to shrug off the responsibility of something he didn't believe in onto Elena's or Mhoram's shoulders. ...

I heard about Runes from my brother-in-law. I actually never read TCoTC at all until after Runes came out. My father had bought TCoTC as they came out in paperback when he was in the Air Force back in the late 70's, and later when I was very young Mom bought him White Gold Weilder in Hardback( the o...

How true saltheart ! I believe there isn't one person who has read TCoTC and not stopped to think that they share one or many of Covenant's traits. Reality based ? For sure ! Probably more-so than any other fantasy character I've ever read. It's great to see so many POV's from everyone. Of course, e...

I agree...very nice addition Mr Majestic ! What gets me is reading the GI, SRD says he wrote that relationship between Covenant and Elena to show how she had misinterpretted Dead Kevin and basically to show how crazy she was. Which as far as Elena is concerned, it doesn't really bother me that she f...

I think that short cycles of the Sunbane would be worse than lomg cycles.. In a long cycle enviroment, the people of the Land would have plenty of time to stock provisions for the unfertile times. On the other end of the spectrum, short cycles would be like a constant bludgeoning of the order and la...

Wow! A lot of great discussion here in this topic. I think everyone who has posted in this thread has made a great case. I wasn't bashing Covenant when I started this thread, I was just disappointed in him somewhat...that's all. Which really is nothing new when it comes to TCTC...LOL. Edelaith- I be...

After my first trip through TCTC I always said Elena was crazy, maddened by her lust for power and control, and sick for her unnatural urges to "be" with Covenant. After reading and re-reading TCTC several times...It becomes apparent to me that Covenant was attracted to Elena in a way I fi...
