The krill facilitated this and also seems to allow her to overcome some if not all of the effects of Kevin's Dirt as well... Ah, Kevin's dirt is probably what I forgot to factor in the equation. Thanks, Orlion! And its incapacitating effects might also affect her confidence, though that's more shak...

Regarding Linden... (:lol:) The biggest problem is that, as it turns out, she has not grown since we first met her. Actually, she seems to have regressed between the end of WGW and the start of FR (less obvious in RotE.) It does bother me as well. OK, can we try to explain it, though? What killed L...

Vraith: Raison d'être. (and I liked your perspective on the choice.) Thanks to matrixman and Orlion for the welcome! :) starklir: I did not recognize examples of Linden willing to harm the land. Did I miss one? She has abdicated the project to help it, but she also knows, by now, that Jeremiah's lif...

Hello, folks! New to the watch. Amused by the contention around Linden. I had been saddened by her loss of self-confidence between WGW and RotE; interesting that TC seems to be proud of her for her reviving him, as I had read it as a form of abdication. But I still root for her, and see the parallel...
