Amy, you have to remember that TC was as good as dead at the end of the 1st chrons. Sure, the creator gave him back his life in our world, (and that brings up a whole lot of other questions that we could deal with, and I think that I will start a new topic on one of them), but he could have just as ...

I think that they would have just looked on with their dispassionate countenances, and just observed without any questioning at all. They seem to have reached the points in their racial existance to have almost no curiosity at all. At least when it comes to individual minor events. But the creation ...

Maybe I didn't make myself clear when I said that they had to have had a connection to the earth power. It seems clear to me that not everyone has the connection needed to be able to use lore. I mean, if they did, each town would have had several gravelingases or hire-brands. There would have probab...

It was said that haruchai were a hardy people. And they would have had to have been, living in the Westron mountains. All mountain dwelling people have a certain type of toughness to begin with. Either that or they don't survive. Plus, they had to have had some connection with the earth power right ...

Vexis, you have hit many of the proverbial 'nails on the head!' I believe also that the land is real, even though throughout the first chrons TC chooses to believe that they are not. But he 'admits' to his belief in two places. The first is in the 1st chrons when he implores Mhoram to cease his summ...

I know that what I would want to do sounds rather mundane, but I would probably want to study at the loresraat long enough to ensure my survival in the land. That is if I even had any of the earthpower within me that could be honed to use. After that, I would want to travel through the land to set d...

Danlo, I feel that you have brought up some good points. Yes, Covenant felt he had to go on his quest to find the one tree. I do not believe that he realised that it was going to fail. But here is where I am going to throw my two cents in. It failed because it had to fail! If it had not failed, then...

It is entirely possible that this power that preserved LF was chaos. For in the heart of all creation there is a grain of chaos. What I mean by that is the powers that are used to cause the bindings between the elements to form other types of materials. These raw powers are probably what preserved L...

It would be quite interesting if SRD has LF traipsing around the land in human form in the 3rd chrons., using his original, unspoken name. But it might be that SRD is using the reasoning that is used in the circles of the occult world that ones real name is never used. If it is discovered, then the ...

Here's another one of those words. Elohim. I just found out that it is generic Semitic. El was the name for God, "the strong one". Elohim is the plural form of El. Normally I can figure out what a word means by what context it is used in. But in that particular case I assumed that SRD simp...

It was said somewhere that the sandgorgons were mindless beasts, so they probably did not know what they were doing. Instead they were just doing, period. Just going along and surviving in their own fashion. But now here's a question for you. Now that Nom is an intelligent sandgorgon, is he going to...

Skyweir, regarding your post on May 1st, I NEVER saw in any place that Berek was wearing a white gold ring. But I do remember that he was the first one to have talked about it's existence. (pg.79 LFB, for one). If there is a referrence that he was wearing such a ring, I would love to see where it is...

Personally, I think that Mel Gibson would be better as Mhoram. And I agree about DeFoe if he was up to the task of playing TC. I don't know that anybody could really be up to it. As for Saltheart? How about one of the larger of the WCW wrestlers? After all, the Rock played the part of the scorpion k...
