Relayer, you DID hit on the best solution. Anyone who has the book in their hands and stops reading it to come here, deserves to have things spoiled. READ THE BOOK! DON'T STOP!

Yes, and even tho it drives me batty that they haven't figured a way to stop Foul permanently (keeping fingers crossed for Last Chronicles), at least we have the satisfaction of knowing that twice now Foul has spent thousands of years kicking his own ass for being such a screw-up!

Well, not to downplay the good responses here but I'm going to take Zenlunatic's first response and run with it. Why? It's exactly the type of answer I was looking for, something mechanical and logical not a bunch of high-falutin' philosophical jibberjabber :wink: I love it, before the banefire he h...

I forgot about the banefire alloy thing. I'll have to think about that. spoiler yes, I don't think he can influence the world, but I felt that at the end of WGW he was the 'guardian' of time by being a part of wild magic. He shut Lord Foul down pretty effectively. I see the ceasures as another attac...

I'm having a lot fun reading all the stuff you guys have written, all the questions you guys have about these books. Now you are making me think too much, but you get what you pay for. Ok, I was just thinking that I really don't understand the ending to the second chronicles. I thought I did, but no...

As someone mentioned, no, Kevin had no other options. Nothing in the land or the world can stop Foul. That's the whole point of why he despaired. Once he understood the full nature of who and what Lord Foul was, he knew everything was screwed. I can't remember if it was ever mentioned what Kevin did...

Well...you can disagree but you are wrong. :wink: If you see no reason to suppose the 7th was the ultimate...let my try. It's stunningly clear that the 7th ward is the utlimate because it is Earthpower personified and besides wild magic and Foul, earthpower is the ultimate power in the land. Its whe...

I think the other wards are irrelevant ... a. not only because SRD only invents what he needs so he's never given a second thought to them... b. the seventh ward is the ultimate knowledge and it was completely useless, scratch that, worse than useless since it didn't stop foul and broke a natural la...

Ok good. Since I got it in my head that Berek had a white gold ring I always wondered where it went. That makes it pretty obvious that there hasn't been a white gold ring before TC since Lord Foul would have got to it a long time ago and broken the arch. (oh, there are things in the world that can b...

I had to post this since I must be misremembering the first chronicles (it's been awhile). Obviously everyone in the first chronicles when they see Covenant they associate him with the legendary Berek Halfhand. Now, besides the similar halfhand thing, I always thought Berek was also the first white ...
