I must have missed the 'fornication' one; either that or I did pick up on it and just forgot about it. One of the biggest that I picked up on was Stave's use of contractions (it happened twice I believe). It was VERY out of character both for him and for the Haruchai as a whole and it seriously took...

I finished the book a couple weeks ago and just wanted to share some thoughts I had while reading it. Let me preface this by saying that I did enjoy the book, and I am very much going to be impatiently waiting for the last one! Also, sorry if any of this has already been discussed elsewhere in this ...

Without going back to check, wasn't one or both of Mhoram's parents on the council with him in LFB? I seem to remember the battle of Soaring Woodhelven and what happened there. The idea does seem to be supported, it's just not something that's ever seemed to have come up in the storyline.

I'm in the process of re-reading before I pick up AATE, and after finishing the 2nd chrons, I was struck by a thought. It is mentioned multiple times throughout the first 6 books that Kevin was extremely long-lived. That being the case, do you think his forebears also lived unnaturally long lives (c...

As for Kevin, a mere shade does not have the power to defeat Lord Foul, not even the shade of an old Lord. Foul mastered him easily (according to Kevin himself), and then Commanded him back to the cavern using the Illearth Stone. Recall this line: Hot green filled the orbs of his eyes, sent rank st...

Why - it's so obvious. It is most definitely a moon That's no moon..... :biggrin: Seriously, though, what does it for me is the time difference between Covenant's (and Linden's) "visits" to the Land. That alone suggests to me that the Land exists in some sort of parallel universe or dimen...

I disagree. "The Theomach 'covered up' their journey because the original timeline did not have their journey in it" This is because he created the story which became part of the legend in the original chronicles. There was no damamge to be caused because that was the way it always had hap...

I think Berek, when he appears among the Dead to Linden, has become the person of myth we thought him to be. We caught him in the offing, as it were. When does this happen? It's been a while since I've read everything, and you just made me think of something. If anyone has a book/page that would be...

However, let me remind everyone that in order for Linden's staff to be the first Staff, then there has to be an original timeline in which Berek had no Staff at all, until someone went back in time to change events and give Berek Linden's Staff. Such a historical change would surely destroy the Arc...

I know this has been addressed (at length, if I recall) in the other forums, but was anyone else just a little let down when they read that scene? I mean, the Theomach not only revealed the Words in their entirety, but he also (vaguely) explained their meanings. Does anyone have any thoughts on this?

High Lord Tolkien wrote: Linden and Nom put the Banefire out.

Touche...but I do still stand by the rest of my statement.

Greetings all! I've been reading these forums for a few years now, but only decided recently that I wanted to throw in my 2 cents as well :) I've read the First and Second Chronicles several times, and am currently working on FR. I've always enjoyed what everyone here has to say, and I hope I can co...

He did fail though. He couldn't heal the Land. Foul killed him twice! TC did exactly what Foul said he would do. Even TC said he was lucky Foul was so pissed off at him at the end. Did he really fail, though? He quenched the Banefire, which Linden likely couldn't have done on her own, and that in t...
