Well done coming up with "Pink's" lyrics. Though I would like to profess I know them by heart, I would have messed up somewhere. And though my subconcious is far from precise, I know the words played in my mind more than once while reading the Chronicles. On review, I think my postulation ...

Atlas of the Land

Just thought I'd let folks know I saw 3 copies for sale on EBay today, one softcover and two hardcovers (25 Apr 09). Softcover is decently priced, hardcovers are a bit pricey. Personally, I find it indispensible when reading the chronicles. I bought mine the day it first hit the stores. If you have ...

Marid

So, was this just right place at the wrong time or did Foul send a Raver to MS when he heard the boy was back in town? I get a real creepy feeling while reading that Foul is precient. And far more than the obvious Joe. Thid guy thinks EONS in advance ( or gives that impression at least). Anyway, tha...

Are the new Chonicles meeting expectations?

No spoilers of course please but was curios if SRD pulled a rabbit out of his hat or a rotten egg, Personally, I'm confident that Steve did well but I did not want to read the new books until they were all out. Now, however I've heard rumour there may be four books so I won't wait. I'm re-reading se...

I too thought of this when I read PtP and saw that the Bloodguard recinded their vow to the Lords because they felt the vow had been corrupted and therefore their service was unworthy. Following Kevin's bad hair day, I suspect they went to Seareach for it was not caught up in the desecration. This w...

Covenant under stress

I spent 5 years in the North West Territories of Canada, based in Yellowknife. We frequently (as in every week-end) went on long snow-mobile runs and I was familiar with my machine (MXZ 670). Made many runs in groups and many on my own as well. One run did not go so well. It was minus 40 and ice cry...

Power does not Preserve

And thats where the song of the Lords get it wrong. Power is fleeting and more frequently than not can turn against the user. I do nor deny that the concept is tempting and SRD thought along this line when he crafted the song but assuredly. after living in India of all places he would realize that p...

Oh please. Jungian? To which episode would you possibly attribute the actions as "we must understand ourselves in order to understand others". Not a damn one of them did, including the Lords. And certainly not Covenant. I'm not letting lord Emmanuel off either, "better through inactio...

On the Turning Away

If you take Covenent's "dream/nightmare' as a perspective of what we all consider an inner struggle to identify how we "measure up", you may easily come to the conclusion that we don't really fare well when confronted with overwhelming life choices. Doubt, especially self doubt, can o...

Thomas Covenant and Lord Mhoram overheard in a bar....

Lord Mhoram - so, then, this is all a dream to you Thomas Covenant - no, more a nightmare LM - and yet you assist, instead of awaiting an opportunity to awake TC - gotta keep moving, stagnation will kill a leper faster than any cave-wight. Besides, I don't believe dying in a dream will truly kill yo...

Covenant walks into a bar....

He's accompanied by Nom. He asks the bartender for a beer, a shot of JD and a bucket of cement, "A bucket of cement?" the bartender queries. " yeah, it comes in handy about this time" Covenant answers. So the bartender cracks open a beer, pours a shot of JD and says " look I...

Bloodguard... a little help here please?

Curious, with the impending doom of the entire land at hand, would it not have been prudent for the Bloodguard to send a quick runner home with a message something to the effect of; -Utter ruin and spoilage awaits...stop - could sure use a few more bods...stop - hope all is well at home, devestation...

Vain was the Anti-Covenant

Assured, resolute, determined, one purpose, inviolate, no distractions, impervious to contradiction or aswayance, strong and impervious to normal harm ( rukhs hurt but no real damage). Vain existed for a single purpose, he succeeded not by his own merit (though it's possible he might have) but by th...
