I cant find any information on this anywhere. When do people expect the next book to come out? it wont take 3 years will it? I read through all these forums and I couldn't find my answer anywhere and so I am reduced to having to start a new thread. Not soon enough. I keep a copy of Fatal Revenant n...

Donaldson's answer, in Relayer's post above, seemed to settle the question, and indicated that they were not forbidden by a person per se , but bound by circumstances and perhaps also by Law.

Stave's sons are also Masters. Sheer nepotism.

My favourite sequences are all from the original chronicles: the tales of Runnik and Tull in The Illearth War; and Mhoram's victory from TPTP. These and the originality of the setting bring me back to the First Chronicles year after year. Btw ever listed "oh s**t" moments for the bad guys:...

Donaldson said in the GI that his symbolic structure gets more complex as you move from the 1st Chrons to the 2nd, and I assume this applies to the 3rd, too. He said that complexity increases because in the 2nd, the Land is an externalization of both TC and LA. So we've got those two individual sto...

The Atlas of the Land is fantastic - an artefact to treasure. Maybe one of the lost Wards

Here's a wiki entry on the author of the Atlas. Sadly she passed away just over 2 years ago.
