It's my topic! :p Okay. Gotcha-you're right. Tx. But still. His loving descriptions of the Land far, far surpass any loving descriptions of say Atiaran's personality or character, that he would now be privy to. I think SRD hadn't really thought of it, or thought it through at that point. Here is, p...

I was hoping that someone would come up with a certain point about Vain being pure structure that would be more difficult to answer. Oh well. It's a matter I'd prefer to delve into in as little detail as possible, simply because the answers are mostly speculative. The whole "Structure Incarnat...

There is no answer to that. Every alleged answer requires selective reasoning. Or let's say that every answer is the correct one. I have offered ideas, not answers. But they are not just ideas, they are designed to show the "one answer" dogmatists that there are other possibilities and th...

I dunno if this counts as a spoiler or not, so I'm going to hide it anyway. Since the Harrow put all that time into learning about the entire line (the Viles begat the Demondim that begat the Waynhim and the ur-viles that begat Vain the demondim-spawn) I have a little trouble seeing the faery Elohi...

My my, arguing with you is so boring. How old are you? You did not understand my reasoning from before where I have only pointed to your contradiction and not offered an answer. Your own theory of contracts can be applied against you. No, no it can't. TC was contracted to be LF's bane, but this cont...

What color was the Old Lords' fire? Or their flag, if they had one? I don't know, I'd assume blue as well. But that's all it is, an assumption. The reason for said assumption would be that the New Lords are wielding the lore of the Old Laws, just in diluted form. And SRD's answer implies, at least ...

Dis Attest and Worm just agree on something???

It happens.

Like I said, the title LFB can mean anything you want it to mean. The title itself was chosen for its power to sell more books. Well, here's the thing. SRD clearly has a very liberal idea of interpretation, as far as he cares, we can make up our own minds. However, unless I'm mistaken, the goal her...

Blue is a peaceful color, it represents the oath of peace. Doctors and dentists often wear blue garb because of its capacity for calming their patients. SRD, given his background, would know this, and that's why he chose blue as the New Lord's color. With all due respect, this is an assumption on y...

Members of the the Clave could have destroyed Vain. Sunbane warped ur-Viles could have unmade him. I'm sure a Sandgorgon could have busted him all up. Vain wasn't all that powerful. The Demondim/ur-Vile lore within him wasn't as powerful as the Elohim. They could have destroyed him. But the Elohim ...

If it's a spoiler, then the Ethics note, which I don't think needs to exist because the concept is inherent in the story, is also a spoiler. "Ethics note"? ...you don't remember? The beggar gives Covenant a paper entitled " The Fundamental Question of Ethics " or something to th...

I never understood why SRD put him giving the ring away so many times...once would make the point, twice maybe within different books, but that many? I don't see the need for it. Why not? Covenant didn't want to have to actively save the Land, all through the First Chronicles he pretty much looked ...

Yeah. I bought Runes IMMEDIATELY as a gift for my sister (much like the bowling ball concept) once I saw that SRD had started writing again... ...and then I started reading... ...and it felt like sequel drek, on par with most other work mind you, but for SRD, it was sequel drek. I stopped reading a...

However, LFB doesn't make TC out to be some kind of thorn in his side either. I have to respectfully disagree. A large part of LFB centers around Covenant's rejection of the idea that he has been chosen to defeat Foul and save the Land. ... that he is Lord Foul's bane. And the Despiser all but says...

A bane, according Oxford, is... bane • noun a cause of great distress or annoyance. — ORIGIN Old English, "thing causing death, poison". I think it would be fair to say that, in the modern tradition of the fantasy genre, a bane has a more specific meaning. It is "the thing that bring...

A bane, according Oxford, is... bane • noun a cause of great distress or annoyance. — ORIGIN Old English, "thing causing death, poison". Aside from the definition, I always took Lord Foul's Bane to mean the Bane of Lord Foul, as in, what caused him annoyance, i.e Covenant/White Gold. Never...

Heya guys, new Watcher here.

Is...that...all?

The title "The Last Dark" is a reference to the void. And yet, even "in the most profound chasms, the wind still blows." With all due respect, you don't know that. It is possible, nigh probable, but there are other things it could refer to, death among others. Maybe, but I didn'...
