Possibly its drawing him to the land as well as his Earthsight. Who is Galewrath? Do you mean Longwrath? Anyway, I'd love to see that mangled giant have a...

Yeah man, nice advice. I tell ya, since moving to and living in Uzbekistan, so much of my world seems to be swirling in a host of unpredictability and uncertainty. BUT, I've already arrived at new perspectives despite or because of the chaos, so in that sense the surreal is producing useful things i...

Seppi2112 wrote: A living manifestation of the arch can be slain Yeah, that's interesting man. What has happened to the Arch now that TC is back from the dead? Is it in more peril with TC being all corporeal and stuff, or what? Or can he still act as Timewarden while being in a physical body? As fo...

Gawd, I really need to reread TIW!

And I love the connection you found, iQuestor, between Mahrtiir and Hile Troy. Nice catch! A foreboding for the Manethrall...?

Dang, thanks Seven Words. Clearly it's been waaaaay too long since I read TIW. Must be time to go back and reread...

Firstly, thanks to ScrapOSamadhi for the quotes. They confirmed some things I had in my mind, things I'd posted in another thread. Preesh!

In FR it says they wanted to establish their own kingdom ; samadhi's essence and shown them visions of grandeur (suzerainity) and I think the host of other sandgorgons is in Doriender Corashev. You're right, I read that when I was searching for the quotes I used. But you're misremembering about Hil...

And -- I'm not sure about this -- but hasn't yet another Law been broken by Linden's act? You know, I wondered about that too. We've heard about the breaking of the Law of Death by Elena, but apparently it was only damaged? Doesn't FR mention that somewhere? Either way, it occurs to me that a new L...

I will quote FR here to try to clarify this issue a bit. Firstly, at the end of pg. 433, the narration tells about how Covenant mastered Nom. It describes Nom killing samadhi/Honninscrave, and then "somehow" consuming the rent bits of the raver's existence. From this little snack, Nom appa...

As far as the Mahdoubt being the Morinmoss healer - this idea has been brought up since Runes came out. However, the healer had two brown eyes, while the Mahdoubt had one purple and one orange. I'm satisfied that these are merely two characters who both happen to be old, ugly women, and there's not...

dang dude, that's some rant, HLT. nice.

Obviously Longwrath is just a huge fan of the band Slayer and wants Linden to bring him to our world so that he can catch them live. If my friends suddenly started restraining me and trying to keep me locked up I'd ask them if the were mad too. Also, who wouldn't want to bring their fav sword to a ...

The fact that TC was healed by an Unfettered One in Morrinmoss during TPTP came up a couple times in FR. I believe Stave even recounted what the Haruchai knew of the story. So, what significance does that story hold for what's now happening in the Land? I still don't think that the woman was the Mah...

I agree that the Last Chronicles will probably have a bittersweet ending, Xar. And I like your take on forgiveness here. The parallels between Foul and Covenant have been pondered for a while now. And we know that SRD is gonna devote more time to fleshing out the character of Foul before it's said a...

Whether Foul's imprisonment was an accident by the Creator (which I believe is suggested in the 1st Chronicles) or an intended act (whether it was an act of pure outrage or not, who knows--something I deem quite unlikely), I still see this bit as a loose end needing closure. The Creator will play a ...

Amen. I like the thought that the Unfettered One in TPTP was really the Mahdoubt... but I don't know that the original text could be used to justify that (and we know that there's no way SRD even COULD have intended that originally). I'd be satisfied if the last books have a good explanation but I ...

So, 1. Whether or not the Elohim who was bound in the Colossus was Appointed or not, it seems that she was placed there by the Forest. Nice point dlb about the One Forest creating a structure that this Elohim could not resist. I seem to remember the same thing now that you mention it. I'll seek to f...

It reminds me of the old early 90's Saturday Night Live skit - "Bad Idea Jeans" - remember that? Shot in fake-commercial style like those cheesy dockers-type commericals back then, bunch of guys sitting around talking while the camera cuts back and forth between them, not showing their fa...
