Thanks to Blackhawk and, I guess, SRD for sharing that. Awesome picture.

I think SRD's effort to give the Insequent history in The Land, so far is all about the Theomach being the guardian of the one tree and being defeated by Brin. His "you know my real name Lady" is a clever way to say that the Insequent were there all the time. I guess, with two more books t...

I can remember reading something because there was a spot in the book where I made the conclusion that he was black. I accept from all the other comments I have read here that SRD may not have specifically indicated that-cause c'mon, this is Kevin's Watch, and if it was there plainly someone would h...

Linden rises from the ground. She sees Thomas on his knees, a look of formication press upon him. Slowly walking as a paradox of white gold, she remembers him during their trial under Mt. Thunder. The Cavewrights passed and their nemesis confronting them. She remembers and raises high the Staff of ...

Re: This implies that the Insequent, while long-lived, do not necessarily have 7,000-year-long lifespans; the Theomach was an exception, as the Guardian of the One Tree, probably having taken on characteristics of the Elohim he defeated. The Vizard lived from pre-Bloodguard times to post-Sunbane ti...

oops i'm not handling the quote thing too well- i'm new here- but of course it is Wayfriend and Drew who get the credit for the ideas I am responding to.

Much the same as we could say about where the heck the Elohim were during the first Chronicles! [/size] Well yes, and good point; however, the Elohim were mentioned in the First Chronicles and "in story" they may not have believed that the arch of time was really in great danger, even if ...

"I'll go back to the multiple, layered meaning of FR. SRD has never made it easy to discern his intent, and usually he crafts language that speaks to multiple meanings. " I agree that Fatal Revenant means more than one thing. That seems to be SRD's way and there are ample arguments to supp...

It was put forth....Theomach would explain Lindens act of helping Bereks wounded, as an act of the unfettered one, to explain her presence and her lore. He could tell Berek and his followers anything to smooth out ripples in the timeline. It certainly is plausible that this is how the unfettered on...

I agree that her willingness to damn the land to save Jerimiah is anoying. It's the way SRD creates tension- there were always anoying things about TC in the other two trilogies, but he always seems to resolve them by the end of each chronicles. For example, his bargain so that he didn't have to be ...

OK thanks

thanks for the welcome. I have read the first two trilogies numerous times and have read the first two of the last chronicles twice. I love the books- all of them and I think the last chronicles is comparable in quality to the first two. I have one bugging concern with the last chronicles- and there...

I'm glad to be able to have contact with other fans of SRD. In my world, i'm practically the only one. I'm not sure I'm doing this right. This discussion set up is awesome but I feel like I'm still in a transitional period, maybe like when TC first came to the land. I might even still be struggling ...
