Hmm, my human vanity makes this a difficult question to answer. I very much doubt that I'd like to be one of Foul's evil creations, and although the Waynhim are noble creatures, I don't think I'd want to be one. If you'd included the Elohim as an option I'd have chosen that. Imagine all that power! ...

Hmm, I went with Haruchai, even though I probably felt more empathy with the Ramen. I think the almost superhuman abilities of the Haruchai have swung it for me, as a martial artist I'd just love to be able to fight as effectively as they do.

If I could vote, I'd have to go with Kevin. The fact that he founded the wards suggests that his mastery of earthpower was greater than Berek's. It's been said that Berek was a General, but what good is a General without an army? P.S. I think there's a Donald Rumsfeld joke to be had right there, but...

Corruption is wonderful in it's simplicity, but a-Jeroth just sounds so damn evil.

I think the implication was that the SDP would fight the amnion the old fashioned way, i.e. with fire, and lots of it! I recall Warded Dios musing on what the actuality of open war would be and I suspect that initially the amnion would come out fighting and the humans would take quite a kicking. I s...

I think Woodhelven and Stowndown stores would be appropriate, where we could buy a lillianrill staff, a stone dagger or suchlike.

The series left off at the point where a full scale war with the amnion appeared to be imminent. The amnion stated themselves that they could not when a war against the humans, but their technological superiority would mean that there would be high losses on both sides. This in itself would provide ...

That sounds correct. As I understand it, as Earthpower radiates out from Andelain back into the rest of The Land, Sunder, Hollian and (probably)Covenant will be able to go wherever Earthpower can support them.

I am an architect, They call me a butcher. I am a pioneer, They call me primitive. I am purity, They call me perverted. Holding you but I only miss these things when we leave. I am idiot drug hive, the virgin, the tattered and the torn. Life is for the cold made warm and they are just lizards. Self...

Microbiological techniques have been established for a fairly long time, so I had always assumed that Donaldson had in fact made a mistake, and was struck by how this would been unlikely given his experience with sufferers of the condition. A quick bit of research reveals that many organisms origina...

Cail, he showed us that the Haruchai are not all powerful all of the time, and provided new insight into what makes them tick.

As for the healer, in a place where wood and stone have such power, the destruction of such materials as part of a ritual is likely to impart considerable power.

I expect all the swearing would make it pretty popular with twelve year olds, although they'd probably be scarred for life once they got to Billingate.

When it comes to great titles, I have only eiight words for you:
"So Long, and Thanks for all the Fish."

SRD has touched on this subject in past interviews. He says that he had written all of the first chronicles by the time that LFB was published, suggesting that he didn't spend that much time on rewrites. Maybe he hadn't finished it when he started approaching publishers though, it must have taken so...

One thing about eyelessness in reality, although being born without eyes is entirely feasible, being born without eye-sockets is not.

Bannor was my favourite Bloodguard too. I really liked it when Covenant confronted him about the Power of Command.

Oops, that last one is mine. I suppose that's pretty obvious though. Guess I must have timed out.

Without looking, the only part in the second chronicles that suggested to me that they didn't sleep was when Mistweave was trying to match the Haruchai by staying awake all night whilst guarding Linden on the Quest's return to The Land.

I doubt that ak-Haru is actually flesh-and-blood like the Haruchai , more like whoever defeats him becomes something a bit like the elohim. There's one thing I need clearing up though, I know the Bloodguard didn't age, but did the Haruchai in the second chronicles? I know they still didn't sleep, bu...
