Ah, but, for Berek we have a hint that he came from Covenenat's world, the Night Club singer that called Covennant Berek
I guess this must already have been discussed elsewhere, but I have never made this connection between Berek and the 'real' world before :oops:

Perhaps a short story collection, á la Reave The Just/Daughter Of Regals would be cool. Except it would be purely TC. Eight or so short stories set in the Land's history, pre-Desecration. That way it wouldn't have to result in a decade-long trilogy for us, and we could get all sorts of things in, r...

And I thought the Last Chronicles pushed things too far... you've just shoved them off a cliff :biggrin:

I agree, I don't want to see him either. To be honest, I didn't expect to see Covenant again after finishing WGW.

But a section devoted to the remembrance of him or some reminiscing about him would be welcome.

Hellfire, I hope so. Her constant self loathing is making reading AATE a painful experience. And let's face it, the story could be told in half the number of pages if she just stopped feeling so sorry for herself.

The only time they were in Mount Thunder was in Lost Deep, and I can't see how summoning them would have been of any use. I agree with you, I think they would have been grossly inadequate for the task. But my point was more about the lack of consistency of SRD's current writing in that to me the La...

I wouldn't say that it has turned the Last Chronicles around for me as yet, but the moment I felt something akin to what you're describing was when Covenant spurned Linden's need for him after 'drowning' her in the stream with the proverbial phrase "Don't touch me." For the briefest of mom...

I fear you may be right about the plot line for the LC as it does seem to unnecessarily go on about Linden's self-loathing and failure time and time again to the point of excruciation. And as far as the griffins are concerned, I imagine it was Soaring Woodhelven you are referring to. I'll have to re...

@Cambo: This was sort of the point I was trying to make, that SRD appears to use various elements while it suits the story, but once they have served a useful purpose he just moves onto some other device to provide the action/scenario. Now the griffins, I really don't remember them at all. Looks lik...

The name grates on my sensibilities. It seems almost juvenile and a little too pedestrian for SRD. If you're going to call it "Kevin's Dirt" why not just call it "Kevin's stuff that blinds your health sense"?!?! I wish SRD could have come up with a more ominous appelation like &...

Fire-Lions?

Hi all, this is my first post here, although I have been lurking as an unregistered user for a while, so please be gentle! While I am becoming increasingly disillusioned with the LC I am still trying to stick to completing the course of reading all four books and now part way through AATE (the group...
