He was knocked unconscious and broke his arm....

A variety of questions: 1. Were the Giants unhomed deliberately by the Elohim? 2. Was Hile Troy’s mental sight what every resident of the Land possesses? or Is the gift of earthsight one that is perceived mentally instead of through eye sight? If so why wouldn’t a person be able to see 360 degrees?...

I cant believe that Lord Foul translates into french as 'Rogue'......

good grief.....

A few scenes which I thought were good: LFB: Atarian foregoing retribution for the sake of the Land TIW: Covenant describing why the rock gardens remind him of a leper he knew TPTP: Bannor's farewell to Covenant & Foamfollower at the Colossus TWL: The first few chapters dealing with Covenant's h...

It's possible that Vain was programmed to protect someone who possessed certain qualities. But maybe the viles' lore allowed them glimpses into the future, and they saw Linden. As some ur-viles are clearly still around in Runes, perhaps they did have some form of time travel (tame caesures??) and t...

His wedding ring seemed to be on fire. But when he recovered enough to look, he could see no mark on his fingers,...

But isn't he an alien messiah or something? Or are we the aliens and he's the messiah? Was Battlefield Earth the worse film ever made? THAT I'm sure of! Everything else is just hearsay, or perhaps conspiracy theories. crap film and even crappier book - L Ron Hubbard was just another yank loon who u...

Hasn't SD hinted that Old Lords, the Viles, Demondim etc are to appear in later volumes??

<quote> 'Trell, answer me. What were you doing out there yesterday? - at that grave? Trell! The word 'grave' penetrated Trell's passion. Abruptly, he wrapped his arms around his chest, hunched forward. Through his tears, he glared at Troy. 'You are a fool!' he hissed. 'Blind! She wasted her life.' a...

Ur-Viles have been generally described as black, roynish with wide slavering nostrils, no eyes and a basic hatred of everyone...oh and hairless as well.....they also carry iron staves.....and speaking in a barking type manner...

Macht = makes as in the classic German line 'Arbeit Macht Frei' (Work makes one free) as seen at all good concentration camps and Foul's Creche....

To put it simply....at first Covenant thought the Land was a dream....in the end he accepted the dream and to him the Land was real.... 'nuff said

Has to be Linden

1) she healed the Land
2) Showed covenant how to love again
3) Pitchwife liked her
4) and in Runes she mfph mfph mfph oops near spoiler there..

....perhaps the telepathy was an evolution thingy - if you were to go around shouting in the mountains (specially in winter) you are inviting an avalanche to come down on you, hence the more 'quiet' way of conversing...also living in high altitudes would increase heart & lung capacity (athletes ...

on a serious note (C Sharp ) as mentioned before, the health sense would be a barrier to any petty or serious crime in the land. The woodhelvin seem to use the test of truth with lomillialor rod on those they do not trust or are wary of (chapter 10 LFB) and if you didnt pass they were quick to subdu...

I know!! lets stake any criminal out in the desert and let the Sunbane have them!....... damn its already been thought of!!

same type of glasses that Hile Troy wore??

Which just makes the Master's actions more terrible. The people of the Land now had Ward translaters in the visiting Giants. (Assuming the gift of Languages covers text as well) Revelstone still has at least 3 Wards. oops.....bit of a Runes give away there!! Also if the language of the Wards is in ...

As we are all aware from reading the First Chronicles, the new Lords had difficulty translating the words(and meanings) of the First & Second Wards. Surely in a thousand years the language of the Land would not have altered *that* much as to be indescipherable by the current generation? Any thou...

How many people actually live in the Land?? Considering that Lord Foul always seem to have the larger armies etc I thought that the Land must be scarcely populated!

Answers on a postcard please......
