Pretty sure the Elohim created forestals or taught the forest how to create the guardians Findail's story was exactly that in the Second Chronicles. The One Forest took what the Elohim taught them and bound that Appointed into the Collossus. Once the Interdiction was broken it took the trees some t...

I just had a major idea. We know from the example of the quellvisk that Lord Foul can create custom-made intelligent races with powerful magic. I think Lord Foul created the Insequent. The Insequent would have come to existence between the Second and Last Chronicles but, due to the wonders of time-...

what exactly do coursers look like? www.comparestoreprices.co.uk/images/li/little-princess-nessie-stick-horse.jpg This makes me think of American Chopper and the "Horse Bike" built ty OCC. Per Jason Pohl, during the bike's review: "Look, I'm a horse head and a gas tank." Between...

the Harrows hypnotic gaze and invulnerability that in an instant made Linden helpless to resist his ambitions for the ring and staff, and the haruchai totally powerless to interrupt. Foul should have sent a raver to posess this guy, and then gone after every power that he desired and enemy he neede...

Atrium, the insequent were from outside "the land" werent they? We saw different magics before when we went on the boat ride in the one tree. It was my understanding that "the land" was just a small bit of that world and there was much more beyond its borders that we werent show...

"Graphic Novel?" Is that a nice way to say "Comic Book?" Then to my knowledge, NO, and I hope it stays that way. How do you "draw" health? That is the same problem with trying to adapt these series to movies.

Kemper's the man. He worked very hard to keep his own hide. If he was confident his golden chair could beat Covenant's White Gold ring I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt. Remember his other accomplishments: Gorgon's Doom, almost eternal youth, Creation of new life, some sort of telepo...

I really disliked The Power That Preserves. I can't lay out a specific reason, just the overall tone of the book turned me off. 8O Wow. I didn't see that coming! I mean, I know everything's subjective and all, but... Sheesh, how can TPTP not be an Absolute Good??? :lol: I'd have to say it was the p...

It always has taken Donaldson a long time to write from conception to final draft. It's mainly HIS problem: he overwrites. The forward to Gilden-Fire even says this. He admits he tend to WAY overwrite so it takes him a while to slim things down. I've given up on him being able to recognize this and ...

I never quite understood why everyone was so unforgiving of Kevin Landwaster. He made a mistake sure, in assuming that by destrying the Land (or part of it) that he would get Foul into the bargin, but it was done with the best of intentions. He saved the Bloodguard, the Ramen, the Ranhyn, the peopl...

Maybe they'll be merged together and become some sort of giant worm that lives in the desert ... that could be an interesting creature. Once they start producing Melange...well, can you imagine a Lord, being able to utlize the full spectrum of Earthpower, also on a great drug like the spice Melange...

Linden did not suck in the first chronicles. That would be impossible since she was not IN the first chronicles.

I doubt the Despiser has any fear of the Worm. He is not of the world and as such the Worm likely will not be interested in him. If Lord Foul has any tanglible "powers" they come from him being not of the Worrld of the Land but from him being the "brother" or the Creator - such p...

The Illearth War has always been one of my favorite to the TC books. We see the Lords in their "glory" using their powers, the power of the Illearth Stone in use by the Raver, the power of a fully mature Forestal...just my favorite book. Of the three books of the Final Chronicles, Fatal Re...

I also still suspect that this Staff is the same one that Berek will wind up wielding. This, of course, requires the Staff to go backwards in time through another caesure . [/color] Not only do I not think this will happen, I will be really annoyed and disappointed if it does. There are two, discre...

Hello It is my theory that the Lurker was the Forestal of Sarangrave. Here's why. In AATE we learn that there were several Forestals. If Andelain can have one, why not Sarangrave? Forestals protect and promote natural living things. The Sarangrave was/is always full of life. The lands near Fouls Cr...

We don't know that the Haruchai, as a people, are "incredibly long-lived." Don't count the Bloodguard in this - they were only long-lived because of the Vow that sustained them.

Didn't the same thing happen to TC's robe in LFB? While going through Morinmoss? (sp?) Did we ever find out what it meant? Nature and her ways remain unfathomable to us. But in Covenant's case, they seemed to have been prophetic, signifying eventual honor and distinction. Weren't there marks on the...

My take is the two different stories are related and reflecting different things; they do not oppose each other! The creator story basically states that the "stars" were the children of the creator who entered this universe; the creator sealed it off before he realized they were in there s...
