The old guy is like many people we meet that pull us into their twisted world. Well, we can always return the favor and mess up their creation! Actually, the creator placed TC in his creation when he made his world, just as LF placed banes in the creation - TC is actually Lord Foul's bane as we alwa...

Wayfriend...Dang! Are you SRD? This is some profound stuff you're dishing out. I never quite looked at it that way.

uh-uh. It's explicitly stated that they understand the translation fine, and can read the words fine, but that somehow the meaning of those words elude them - there's something missing in the readers that mean that they can't make the Lore work like it should. In TPTP, Mhorram works out that its th...

Take it easy - no offense was intended - don't get all Covenant on me. Remember your Oath!

There's a smiley for you!

We know absolutely nothing about the nature of the Ur-Viles. I thought they were black, roynish creatures - made by the Demondim, with arms and legs of equal length (more able to run on all fours), bald heads, pointed ears high on their heads, wet noses, no eyes, fight in wedges, lore wise, traditi...

If LF and Kevin together spoke the ROD and all life (except LF and that which was sent away by Kevin) was destroyed, how come there are still a butt load of ur-viles at the time of ill-earth war? Thousands. Did LF warn his "people" also? Sure, Cavewrights can reprouduce - but not Ur-viles ...

Indeed - but while is seems apparent in several passages that there was something that the new lords were/weren't doing right with regards to power and understanding Kevin's lore, still Atiaran said it was something to do with the lanuage - but both the Bloodguard & the giants were fluent in Old...

It was probably all over anyway by the time of the Illearth War. There are several accounts of such bodies destroyed beyond all possibility of recovery (eg eaten, obliterated etc). By the end of that war between the battle both in the south and on mission to Seareach, even if the Vow wasn't corrupte...

500 Bloodguard? That's what Bannor told TC right? "The Bloodguard are 500, the Harucai are more." or something like that. But was it true that IF a Bloodguard's body wasn't taken back to the Westron Mt. then another wouldn't be sent? OK, if that was true, then wouldn't it stand to reason t...

His first death was beautiful and wonderful and meaningful, and now he's just goin to die again, now he's incapable of helping preserve the arch of Time, and now (if we are to believe) the world is going to end! HOW IS THAT A GOOD RESULT? 2 more books, my friend, 2 more books. SRD won't let us down...

True and mostly my remark was tongue in cheek - but there does seem to be some significance to her remark as Stave quotes her. Why? Does he detect some bitterness that smacks of the Haruchai? Stave has learned some of the folly of his people and their tendency toward extremeties in everything - they...

Why should she be forgiven...remember,

"She does not forgive"
Stave quoting LA

I'm sorry about running you guys and girls around - being new here, I'm still learning my way around. I tried to search it and came up with so many hits... Besides, I thought the number one most asked question would have been why the old lore of the Old Lords wasn't readily understood by the New Lor...

Thank you...

I tried to do a search on this but couldn't come up with it ...

What does the ur in ur lord mean? It is ever explained? Now I know about Ur of the chaldees but anyone know about this?

Thank you for the responses,

You know, I was more interested in where it said how old he was because I also had assumed he was about 30 years old at the start of the 1st book - I just coudn't find it.

Funny

Does it say ANYWHERE how old TC is at the beginning of the First Chronicles? Any speculations?

Linden Avery brought back Thomas Covenant. He didn't seem too happy about it... --A You're right! I kept thinking, "Oh, crap, she just did an Elena." BEsides, TC and Joan will get back together and TC will dump LA. He'll just say, "Thanks for all the great times aboard Starfare's Gem...

Thanks for the pic! Great laugh. Have you been going through my sister's Fabio books?

Thanks to all for your wisdom on this - this is something that made me wonder for years.

Now I'll quit beating the dead horse!
