I think any crime is forgivable, as long as the person pays for the crime and is truely repentant. haha, I sound like a church pastor or something, but thats what I believe. I think even the ravers could be forgiven, if they spent the rest of eternity trying to help out and fix things and doing good...

I always thought that the dead spectres were powerless just by themselves, and were only strong if there was some other power. Like I thought the earthblood 'empowered' kevin to some extent, same as the staff of law or illearth stone for elena, or at least accessable earthpower for the spectres in a...

I never really thought that the 'worm' was an actual worm, rather than just another representation of the arch of time itself, because I thought the elohim would be more trustworthy calling it a wryd, rather than whoever called it a worm. Theres a part in the book which sort of contradicts my belief...

Giant technology?

When we meet the giants in the second chronicles they have some better 'technology' than the first chron giants, such as pitch and granite ships. (In TIW its mentioned that the giants grow teak and ironwood trees for their ships) but the second chronicle giants don't have clingor. This is weird beca...

Alright but say covenant didn't have the venom, but somehow triggered it off the abnefire or something, theoretically he could raise it high enough to rival the banefire, a level of power which would have broken the arch of time. Ditto with the worm. I thought the reason why the venom made covenant ...

I thought that the giants in the first chronicle were way more interesting than the second chronicles!

I always thought it was weird that it was named Kevins dirt too- Poor Kevin, he already has enough bad things too be named after without adding stuff he didn't do. I doubt kevin actually caused it though, and I doubt donaldson would use time travel like that. But im thinking that if the third chrons...

I thought it mentioned somewhere how linden was bothered by kevins dirt, which she thought that the staff of law was the answer to? Plus didn't she say that wild magic wasn't suited to her, and that since she made the staff she could use it better than wild magic?

Hehe I stuttered.

Was the arch of time in danger of breaking in first chrons?

Specifically in the final battle, when covenant destroyed the illearth stone. In that battle wild magic was raised so high that the entire promentory of fouls creche exploded and fell into the sea, so it was pretty powerful. In WGW when Covenants fighting the raver he cant beat him because if he rai...

Yeah it does, thanks. It sort of goes along with my argument though, that the old lords could have sustained the 'physical' war for a very extended time, due to their laore and power, if Kevin hadn't succumbed to despair. Has it ever seemed wierd that kevin lived for a thousand years and yet didn't ...

Whats up with Linden being way weaker in Runes?

In the second chronicles, after linden had worked out how to use her health sense, she had no problem using the white gold. She could summon power from it with ease, either from covenant while he was wearing it, or even when it was meters away from her on the floor under mt thunder. Yet, in runes, a...

You make pretty good points, though im still sort of unconvinced. 7 lords including kevin, the staff of law and the krill are a massive force to be reckoned with, but I suppose we dont know what 'subtle treachery' lord foul did. And 100 years is enough to drive even kevin into despair. I'm still sor...

Does any group in particular calls him the despiser? I always thought that that was closer to his 'real' name, more than lord foul- perhaps because he's supposed to be personified despite? haha

What happened to Garroting Deep when kevin did the RoD?

Was it destroyed? Did the forestal get all the trees to run into the mountains?
In TIW the forestal mentions that the RoD is not forgotten in the deep, but they seemed to have survived it pretty well.

Kevin was stupid for doing the ritual of desecration

I'm not just talking because he killed the land and all that, but because I don't see how lord foul could have beaten him. Heres why Kevin and his lords knew how to be really powerful. We can assume this would be even stronger than when after Mhoram discovered the secret to kevins lore, because they...
