Sure.

I only gave my understanding of the canon story in the books.

I enjoyed your story, IrrationalSanity. Was Terisa augered? "Therefore"--Master Quillon gritted his teeth to keep from shouting--"King Joyse set himself to save the world. "His weakness is an ambush. He lures the enemy to strike here rather than elsewhere--to inflict their peril ...

It's not a contradiction necessarily. You assume A worm in the physical heart of the world is huge but the myth says nothing about the relative sizes of the Worm compared to the earth. A worm that burrows out from the core of an apple doesn't break it to pieces. The world began from magic and wonder...

The fact that the Worm wasn't actually the core of the Earth was a huge disappointment to me. I can't even express how awesome that concept was to me! And then....nope. Just really big. it's not the physical core of the Earth. It's the metaphorical heart of it. The Worm ate the Stars (are they eter...

If the Lady Alif couldn't free Covenant from the Elohim silence then no woman from the Land is enough for him. :lol: Lady Alif was completely wrong for Thomas Covenant. She's a talented actor and he needs honesty in his partner. Joan scarred him and he fears to trust. Linden hid her heart deep but ...

In the end, the time traveling THOOLAist couldn't come up with better ideas. He pocketed his gold pocket watch, patted the dazed Donaldson on the shoulder and muttered "Forgetaboutit" as he left.

Before that Lord Foul lived peacefully with the other Eternals Can you provide a passage? We know he was with the other Eternals until he entered Landworld. Time may not exist there. The arch of Time is a construct of Landworld but however it works until the Creator was halfway finished with Landwo...

I didn't like what Donaldson did with Joan and their son in the 3rd trilogy but they make a good plot element that was left unresolved previously. A story where they enter the Land and he must confront them is a good base for a 3rd Chron. Can a woman from the Landworld replace Linden as his love int...

Personifications of Ideas are a bit different than mortal humans. A big part of what makes individual human is their complexity. The eternal Ideas are by definition two dimensional and unchanging. But in the Chronicles the Creator is an individual and She (her name is Love, right?) are individuals s...

Theoretical Question: if you were a proud member of THOOLAH, invented a time machine, bought an expensive pocket watch and expunged the Linden Avery daemon from Donaldson's brain with the power of hypnotism and SCIENCE what would you replace her with? How would the Lindenless 2nd trilogy and possibl...

I remember that moment well. Poor Tor is pushed to this sad state by the king he loves and Eremis is free to do as he wish to him. He's abandoned and vulnerable. It was luck Eremis stayed his hand. That scene could end differently very easily. I don't think Eremis regretted his decision exactly and ...

He wasn't that important to the plot I feel. He wants to be relevant but he's a sidenote throughout. He wanted to help Elega and Kragen in their machinations but in the end he did nothing there. Eremis used him to ruin Geraden's name but Eremis is crafty. If Nyle wasn't available he'd find another w...

What was the Lesson of Nyle then?

Terisa gains insights or exemplars of Ideas from every character in the tale. What did Nyle represent to Terisa?
High Lord Tolkien wrote:Damn, I have to reread these books. I can't remember who Nyle is. :lol:
For shame, HLT! :-x :P

samrw3 - you guessed it. The answer is Eremis image in the Flat Mirror that did him. It was a little vague but I'll give you the credit anyway. :!: :)

I made a post on the Norge thread about what Norge shows about Terisa 'Doll Faced' Morgan. What about Nyle? Nyle is the unloved boy who despite everyone's low expectations and in the face of their discouragements tries to fight for Mordant in his own way. He doesn't go back home when told. Like her,...

hoh. rereading this threads bring back memories. I forgot Norge name could be based on calm, icy Norway and Geraden on straight lines. I wouldn't be surprised if Donaldson chose those names intentionally. Many other character received appropriate names. Elega, King Joyce, Termigan to name a few. Nor...
