I have to agree with Fist and Faith,that Amok was able to have a sense of joy at the sight of the Ranyhyn and also to know remorse at the shortness of his life.He laments while standing in earthroot that very fact and also expresses his sense of loss as tears stream down his face at the prospect of ...

I have to agree with Furl on this one.Amok was created by Kevin to be a door and a guide,how Kevin created him we may never know.We do know that the old Lords had a greater command of earthpower than the new Lords because they were not restricted by any vow of peace.Kevin and company had greater abi...

Yup....good reply DW

I have to say after reading Furl's take on the third coming TC saga it seems she could be right on the money.I'm sure all of us really hated to see TC die but the reality is that if he hadn't then LF would have won.TC understood this and made his choice and although he would have liked to spent the ...

I just gotta jump in here.I think with regard to the knowledge of desecration Mhoram came to it by studying Elena's sculpture of Bannor and TC and she aquired it by sheer "luck" or I'd say more accurately misfortune by being placed in her own extremity. Perhaps as she looked at her options...

Still a hot topic here..lol...who would have thought. I am persuaded that Findail knew he was appointed to his doom and yet was not entirely convinced things needed to end the way they did.He was the appointed and had to bear that fate per the vote of the Elohim but if he could see a different path ...

Ok...alot of good points here.I think in order to answer the question other than the Washington DC inference we have to look at the history of DC as related in the illearth war.DC was the result of a northern expansion from the south,it's placement was strategic due to it's placement along a natural...

I think Pitchwife had indicated earlier that wiving suited him not only because he could fit into small places but also because there was no other position on the ship that would suit him better.He pointed out that he was not nibble in sails due to his stature and various other duties were not in hi...

Wow what a great bunch of replies.....I love to see such thought engendered by one guestion. I think first of all that Findail knew he was appointed to bear the weight of the world wether it was it's destruction or its healing.I think he knew Vain's purpose but perhaps he thought that he could avoid...

I've never posted before but have certainly enjoyed some of the comments and discussions.Any way as I started to say does anyone have an opinion of what Findail's true mission was as he saw it,was he miserable because of his wurd as the rest of the Elohim saw it? Was it his "doom" and dest...

It's a funny question to ask since many of the characters in the first and second triolgies are so interesting....I think a visit to the land to talk with many would be the best way to go....but if I had to choose one.....Foamfollower I think would be my choice.I admire his sense of devotion,faith a...

Wow....what an interesting thought.....SRD used Tolkien as a model....hmmm....I agree with Furl and Infelice.....perhaps LOTR inspired SRD but the ideas and plot are definitley his own.Think about long lived Giants,why wouldn't they take their time both in story telling and decisions,after all they ...

Wow what a grim post by none?.....I think we have to rememeber what the giants often said to TC...joy is not in the telling of the tale but in the ears that hear it.Our world could be much more lawless than it is.....as the dutchess pointed out there is beauty here if you choose to see it.I left my ...

I tend to agree Cromas.....I think the creator is aware of our world and the potential of certain people in it to aid his own creation but he's certainly not a resident here.He obviously has some power here as he saved TC's life once but I would say he's more preoccupied with his world or at least k...

Acctually for all their foibles I think Linden and Covenant were ok although they did go to great lengths to cause themselves alot of trouble but I really hated all the ravers....you couldn't kill them and they could possess almost anyone they wanted to.In order to even move them you might have to k...

I tend to agree with Romeo that as Lena said that you could go the length and breadth of the land on their strength alone.I think that as they are an expression of the health and earth power of the land I think it stands to reason that you could continue to eat them for....well along time without ph...

Hi all.....this is my first time at this site or any like it for that matter.I've read and reread the series and have come to the conclusion that the Land was real although perhaps in a different dimension or something but the matter of the old man is somewhat inconclusive is he the creator or only ...
