Yo, Roger, 'Lord Fouls's a liar',
Said his leprous old sire,
'Dont hold hands with a croyel',
'instead of a goy-el',
and now his right hands a-fire.

When we first meet Roger he is cold and calculating, having reached the culmination of long-range plans. Even when unmasked at the end of the "real world" opening section, his grisly demands (cut off your hand) are delivered in a entirely rational manner. The strain of his long charade, pl...

I remember reading TIW and thinking, can things get any worse (for our characters?) The Doriendor Corishev chapter was my favorite.

Newbs do not take or eschew action at your bidding.

Both Glimmermere and Earthroot end up in Defiles Course. Its a mix of good and bad. Diluted Earthpower and pure stank. In AATE we have the origin of Landsdrop. Thats a feature important to the history of the Land, so indirectly, SHE influenced the Chronicles all along. We just didnt know it until no...

I first read Dune when I was 11. There's nothing like it. Here are my impressions formed by the time I was 15. Dune Messiah: anticlimactic and baffling Children: pretty cool God Emperor: really cool Heretics: weird but interesting Chapterhouse: baffling 15 years later the Brian Herbert / Kevin Ander...

The question you pose is one of Cosmology. We have not seen light from anything more than a few billion lights years away, yet. The nice photos are of things very "close" to us, on a cosmological scale. We can no more "see" the edge of the universe than point our finger in the di...

Peter For this I have come. Most Nebulae appear grey or pale green in the telescope. Our eyes are not sensitive enought to see the colors. In low light we dont see color. Cameras are much more sensitive and easily capture detail and color invisible to the eye. Many of the photos released by NASA are...

I had the mental image of comedian John Pinette

I dont like this scenario either. lThe possibility still exists that Linden's current Staff could be sent backward in time to become Berek's Staff...but I somewhat doubt it--that would be too convenient. I prefer forward time travel. Arrow of time and all that. ( Covenant seems to remember past even...

I think my point was that Krill has only slain powerful beings, never a mere mortal that we know of. I believe the Krill "silenced" the Viles in a similar manner that Linden opened the portal to the Lost Deep, cutting a specific thread of their theurgy. The Harrow's defeat of the Demondim ...

Its my understanding that Moksha is busy making Kevins Dirt and keeping watch over Kastenessen.

And thereby staying way clear of Linden.

Dear Rusmeister

I have two treasured works of art made by Intes and Intes-Micro of Russia.

And I really dig "Pictures from an Exhibition" Картинки с выставки – Воспоминание о Викторе Гартмане

May this bring joy to your heart.

Ive always wondered: How did he move the IS from under Gravin Threndor to his thronehall? He didnt carry it himself. Just a nagging question. Was the IS part of HER wedding ring? Is the IS the opposite of the Earthpower stone of the krill? If LF had befriended TC at the beginning of LFB, offered him...

Paugh! Rub NOT your beads at me.

The last 7 paragraphs of AATE describe what is seen normally at sunrise. The eastern sky brightens, the stars fade, terrestrial objects and features become "vaguely" visible. The moment when stars fade in the twilight is intensely subjective. Remember the endings of the previous two books?...

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 Cre...

Hello

I found this site and had to join.

I was 15 when I read LFB and the rest in 1986. I have read the Last Chrons and looking forward to the final book.

My other favorite series is the Titan trilogy by Varley.
