I won't read the first chapter, although it is posted so it might have revealed the answers already and I will be just speaking to be heard... I think that foul and TC are interlinked. Just like he could speak through others, so could LF, but neither were back to their former self. Now that TC is re...

I really enjoyed the last two books in the LCTC, but I have to say I think the editing was stronger under Lester Del Rey's direction than under the ACE/Penguin publishing arm. Again, I do like the series and will continue to buy & read them as they come out, but I found too many instances of sup...

I have wondered this a lot of about the Sunbane - how does it only encompass part of the Land? Linden says that she knows it doesn't really come from the sun, so where does it come from? It is like Kevin's Dirt, but only localized to part of the Land? Or, if it is some atmospheric 'lens' of some sor...

After re-reading TOT (and realising what a great book it is), I thought about the Worm of the World's End and the story behind it. Did SRD ever discuss whether this was a myth (like the ones we have) or the truth? I was siding more with the myth idea, but then Findail (who would know the truth) talk...

What was the significance of the Marrowmeld sculpture looking like Bannor and like TC?

I was thinking after reading the first 100 or so pages of the TOTree, that there is less likely a chance of FREE WILL in the land. Everything that happens manages to get there regardless of how the characters feel or what they want. The Elohim hint to this as well as the Lord in the first series. Th...

Maybe this has been brought up before, but on the cover of TWL (purple edition), TC is walking towards the KRILL on the lake, behind him, on the shore is Brinn (the only person with him at the time) - but Brinn has a sword across his back. I am assuming the Haruchai continuing not to use weapons. Th...

In TWL, while TC is in Andelain after being ambushed (and the spider bites him), he is suddenly under a feverish spell and tied to the stakes. In regards to Vain : "Slowly his eyes shifted across the frenzy until they met Convenant's" He then asked Vain to help him and Vain grinned. Now, a...

I am now on the second chronicles (again) and suddenly realised that I do not remember seeing the prophet in the ochre robe in the new chronicles? Maybe in the last two books? Maybe he is no needed as a plot device?

I managed to sneak the chapter Gilden Fire into my reading of the TIEW to make it a whole. It worked out quite nicely. What I found interesting was the writeup before GildenFire where SRD talks about omitting the chapter because it came from the perspective of the Bloodguard. He also states that whe...

If Elena was really unbalanced, she wouldn't have made it to be High Lord, right? I would have assumed the Mhoram would have put a stop to it when they were choosing the next lord in line, no?

I have just re-read TIEW for about the 4th time in the last 20 years and the last time I read it, the internet wasn't really anything to speak of, so this question always nagged at me : How does TC rationalize his relationship with Elena? He knows that she is his daughter and yet he doesn't seem rep...

I was thinking that the battle with Elena and Kevin ruptured something and then the water and earthblood mixed - also opening holes in the rock. Bannor states: "The battle of Kevin and the High Lord has opened a crevice in the floor of Earthroot. We must ride the water down, and seek an outlet ...

In FR, when Linden escapes after drinking the earthblood, the entire mountain is almost destroyed - this is in the past, during Berek's time. So how does Amok, Elena and TC find it intact in TIEW which happens after this?

I noticed when I first started reading the book, Anele spelled backwards was Elena, Covenant's daughter. Could this be something for future consideration?
