I like it!! I know that I haven't been posting lately, but with thew hours that I have been working I need sleep. So I haven't been around for a while. But I am finally getting used to the hours. It has only taken about a month....

One of the main points that I was trying to bring up was at the end of my previous idea. Our satan would probably love to have any help in vexing our God and would also enjoy giving a bunch of headaches to any other creator that would dare to imprison his brother. Or could it just be that like attra...

One other thing that I forgot to point out. It seems that yes, LF can dismiss the dead. But does that extend to Andelain? Or is it sort of like the law of summoning, that the person who does the summoning has to release the one who is summoned? I believe that as soon as Elena found out that TC was d...

Even Elena and Kevin did have their good points. But you have to remember that TC seems to have become something above and beyond the two of them. He seems to have reached the stature of Mhoram himself with a foreknowledge of what must transpire in the future to achieve the desired end. And I tell y...

Here is another question that I have regarding this particular thread. Now we all have seen within our own religions that our satan was cast down to the earth? Or at least out of the hallowed halls of the hall of God. And that all of these fallen angels that were with him were cast down as well. Cou...

And I thank you, Sky. Many of your comments upon this topic have stimulated the aging cells within my rather overstressed cranial cavity to the utmost!

Howdy everybody! As the saying goes, I'm baaack! I was working some ridiculous hours and didn't really have the time after getting home to get on the forum. I also didn't have the energy left to me after working in the temperatures that I unfortunately had to deal with.

Maybe TC wasn't meant to actually be the hero in either of the chronicles. I'm probably stretching things here, but could it be that TC was simply the catalyst for other people to break out of what and/or who they were to become that which was buried inside of them from the beginning?

I am definitely glad that I started this little topic, I have gathered a whole lot of different little insights. Thanks everyone!!

Caamora, you made one mistake about when LA brought TC out of his stupor. She doid not "possess" him that time. Certainly she went into him, but instead of trying to force him to do her will, she just accepted and allowed herself to fall deep into the well of silence that had been superimp...

There is another point that nobody here has stopped to consider. Both Sunder and Hollian were in Andelain! Think about it. Who else resides in Andelain? Doesn't anybody think that the old lords will at least steer them towards finding the lore needed to resist LF? And also, they could give some very...

No, I don't believe that that the haruchai were all heroes. They did many things that were heroic, but in a strange way I do not consider them heroes for the simple reason that they pledged their lives to the protection of those people. Maybe that sounds strange, but I guess I'm trying to say is thi...

Wounded Moose: I think that you have a kernel of the truth in your musings. I think that you are right about the point that they did not want their race to die out. Danlo: You have a good point as well about them having passed down a hint of good in their created offspring. But here is my two cents ...

Those scenes are great, but my two favs are Lord Mhorams' victory, and when TC enters the banefire in Revelstone to destroy the master rukh while at the same time turning himself into an alloy of venom and wild magic. At the same time, there are two other scenes that stick in my mind. The caamora at...

He's the one I was thinking of! Thanks, and a tip of the hat to Amanibhavam.

No, I don't believe that a hero is a coward that changes his stripes. Instead, what I believe is that a hero is a person who faces insurmountable odds at the risk of his own life in the pursuit of saving the lives of one or several other people. I don't believe that the people of the land were all t...

That is a possibility as well, at least in the case of the coursers. The other sunbane warped people already were!

Oh, and by the way, I am not trying to step on you, Prince of Amber. Far be it from me to put anybody down for their opinion!! I apologize if perhaps I came on a little strong in that last post. I have the bad habit of getting on my soapbox from time to time.

The one that I can see being a good TC is the lt. that got left behind and killed in platoon. He also played one of the Tom Clancy movies as an operative in Columbia. He had a very expressive face as well as having the physical characteristics ascribed to TC.

What the lady Alif did was not as much heroism as payback from my point of view. She helped the quest escape because she had been deposed and cast out. "Hell hath no fury"? As for going back to her people, what other choice did she have? Unless you consider heroism in the same category as ...
