Sory WOTWE, I put what I was trying to get across in 'quotes' not to indicate it as a direct quote, but to frame the idea I was trying to express. My mistake. I am going to be totally honest and admit that it is so long since I read TOT that the details of what we are discucssing are a little hazy t...

You are loosing me a bit here, WOTWE. Are you saying that Findail was not an essential part of the new staff of law, ie that it could have been formed by Vain alone - indeed this was what the urviles who created him intended and Findails incorporation into the final product was the Elohims input if ...

A SOL, at the least, would be nothing more than a toy to them, and at the most, only a device to serve one of their selfish ends. Had they then, no fear of Foul and his desighns to destroy the Land, the Earth and ultimatly the arch of time? Also, I don't quite understand why they would have wanted ...

Celebration of spring in Andelain (in the morning so I could get the whole day before the wraiths appear at dusk) with Foamfollower, Winhome Gay and the Ranyhyn that chose to accompany me (if one did).

It's so big a question I can't answer it - every time I think I have it nailed down another answer pops into my head and I just can't decide.....AAARRRRGGGGHHHHHH!!!!........

Personally, I find it indispensible when reading the chronicles. I bought mine the day it first hit the stores. Managed to pick one up from Amazon a short time ago but have not yet attempted to read the Chronicles with it by my side. I dont know if that is a good idea or not - Could it not take ove...

I don't think they were opposed to the creation of a new SOL. I think that was the purpose for which Findail was appointed by the Elohim and that his own opposition was just his attempt to wriggle out of his appointed doom. I think the Elohim knew that he would try this (any of them would have done ...

I don't believe Jackgiantkiller was meaning to be racist or offensive in his question - I certainly hope not, and so I will answer it from this perspective. Most of us will naturally visualise charachters in novels as of our own etnic type (I believe) unless specifically directed by description not ...

It seems to me that with names like Mr Broken and Something Broken you were in some way wishing upon yourself those very circumstances that the lables implied. Clearly from the picture, life has demonstrated to you that IT will be the judge of how your path is going to proceed and IT alone will deci...

Covenant never said or did anything that might justify the belief of the people in the land that he was there to save them in the 1st Chs. In the 2nd he hadn't been chosen and this was gall to him, so he avoided mention of the creator on the basis that he could be exposed as a redundant force (as he...

putting an attribution in parentheses after every mention of thier name should do it.

If it's size in LFB is a bit inconsistent with it's size in TPTP, I don't really care. Well now I really have heard everything! That must be the most UnWayfriendian posting ever - and from a man (I assume) whose attention to detail has been 'like an ever fixed star' to all at K's W for eons past! D...

I believe that in the Land 'gayness' or 'straightness' assumes exactly the same degree of importance that it should in our world ie none. It is thus no more necessary of mention about an individual than say the shape of his fingernails or the size of his ankles.

WOW! All of the above thread just serves to illustrate to me how much of a handle I have NOT got on the lands history. Is there a kind of 'time line' anywhere on this site that I could use to bring me up to speed (I just haven't got the time to read all the books again from scratch) or if not, could...

Am I not right in thinking that the ruined city of Doriendor Corishev (where Troys Warward makes a tempory stand) was the capitol city of Bereks people in the time of the One Forest.

Awkward agreed, but not impossible. Clearly a male Chihuahua could with an appropriate footstool.......No, lets leave it there!

I remember when Pitchwife related the story of the First's father that he mentioned that a Giant of Linden's age would still be a child living with her parents. I think that it's probably just an internal error on SRD's part. Yes - I remember something that indicated giants remained as children lon...

Wow - Wayfarer certainly got it right that this is a big topic to start on! I also like his (Wayfarer's) idea that foul and the creator could be so closely linked as to be almost considered as one being; like light and dark, hot and cold, just opposit ends of the same spectrum. Regarding the matter ...

e.g. Mhoram was 70 in TIW and 90 in TPTP despite only 7 years elapsing in The Land Very observant reading! Wish I could be that perceptive in my own reading process - It makes me wonder how much I might be missing in the books and how much richer the stories might be if I had the acute level of per...

...except that I saw it as spherical, with the bottom half buried in the ground of the throne room. Funnily enough I imagined it this way but dropped into a concentric semi-circular depression in the dias when I first saw Fonstad's drawing. I only abbandoned it for the hemi-spherical one on the bas...
