It breaks my heart to bear the lack of compassion here. I expected that people who had read of the land would be different, but again it is just people. I noticed how once I got into this tangent and subsequently backed down from it that the apportioned respect for my views diminished. Therefore I w...

No, I meant that far more of his book appear to deal with being in our reality, where Haven Farm is. I mean that SRD says that the will shift viewpoints alot & part of how he did that with 1st & 2nd chonicles was to illustrate how the land's time went much faster compared to the earth's time...

That’s a good exercise of freewill. You’re free to hate God. Although, you hate the God of the Old Covenant. You don’t even appear to know the God of the New Covenant. The Law of the Old was made to show that none could live up to perfection. The Grace of the New is a gift, given freely to all that ...

Well it looks like the trend continues. 1st Chronicles: Very little of Earth 2nd Chronicles: More of Earth & more tie-ins to the land. 3rd Chronicles: 1/2 & 1/2 ??? At the least we know that book 1 of the the 3rd Chonicles has chapter 5 showing Earth. Does this mean that the first 5 chapters...

When Thomas Covenant made Banner tell him the name of the power that Amok could unveil, there was a subtle change in the bloodguard. When Korik became corrupted by the illearth stone, the bloodguard's vow crumbled. It would seem to me that the bloodguard spoke through their vow. They constantly woul...

I didn't specifically say "you" or name anyone. If I say we, you, or anything I mean the world, everyone. At any rate, I'll say it again that The Chonicles is about a man sent by the creator to save the land from the despiser (named Satansheart by the Giants). I don't think it can said tha...

I do not believe that this Creator is all-knowing. He did not know what the outcome of his choice of Covenant would bring. It seems clear to me that he chose him unaware, and hoped his choice would not damn his creation. He said so himself... I agree with you, but I understand Luof's position. At l...

Well this is a very interesting question. I would suggest that they did have something, not exactly telepathy. These men were not like the Lords. Nevertheless, and I mean that, never the less, because they were potent, they had something of a way to communicate among the entire bloodguard. When Bann...

To me, the difference is that Satan and the angels were immortal & had 1 choice, while we are mortal and have freewill or infinite choices. For instance, you can decide to change your mind about God at any point in your life until you are dead. I'm not following you. In what way can we change o...

You are correct, Satan saw God, knew he existed. To me, the difference is that Satan and the angels were immortal & had 1 choice, while we are mortal and have freewill or infinite choices. For instance, you can decide to change your mind about God at any point in your life until you are dead. Al...

From Illearth War: “Forestal, I offer you a Raver" At the word Raver Caerroil Wildwood changed. The dewy, glistening aura of his music took on an inflection of anger. His eyes darkened; their silver light gave way to thunderheads. Mist spread from his orbs, and drifted upward through his eyebro...

"Give." The order seemed to be directed at Covenant personally. As if on command, his gaze dropped to the bowl again. But the demand, the effort of coercion, brought back his anger. 1 don't owe you anything, he snapped silently. Before he could pull away, the old man spoke again. "I h...

When it was created, the Colossus was placed at the edge, to keep the Ravers out of the Upper Land. This happened long before the RoD. Still, some of what I guess at could be true. The illearth stone could have been made during the RoD. Also, despite the one forest, Mount Thunder stands above it ri...

u have some very strange ideas there luof :? now i'm not meaning to make you look stupid or anything, and those were probably meant as a joke, but here's a little examination of them... Actually some were jokes and actually you don’t seem like a very nice person. ------------ "Command all of t...

Command Banner to drink it. He has to protect the lords in his service to them. He would make an emotionless, level-headed decision. Command all of the unfettered to fight Lord Foul’s army with the Warward. Command 10 billion tons of popcorn to appear in Doom’s Retreat (it might not do anything, but...

He was Lord Luof of course.

Maybe Andelain was just too vibrant for the creatures of ill to endure. But where does it end & begin. Can you put one foot here or one foot there & say this is Andelain. It isn't like the forests of the land which have a definate boundary. Therefore, one could still find useful places to am...

What's this? What's this? I haven't heard anything about this. Who - where do you get this information? Intrigued. Hmmmm - Lord Luof - L-u-o-f spelled backwards is F-o-u-l HOLY CRAP! It's him! It's him! We've been infiltrated! Where's Covenant? Call the Haruchai! Call Ghostbusters! ** Just having a...

IMO, simply no military commander would have been able to defeat that army. As it stands in the book, if the Eoward would have turned to fight, they would have died. At the edge of Garroting Deep, they were dying. But much of that had to do with the fact that they were practically dead on their fee...

I have to agree with you here. But there is something of interest there also with SRD's writing of the series. It seems that whenever he writes a main character, that character has flaws and those around him seem better. I'm not just talking about basic human nature (which he is very good at capturi...
