Ah, touche. I had forgotten that. My argument is now null and void.

Peace Rockbrother... Remember the Oath. ;) LOL! But yeah, Sandgorgon's Doom was kind of good and bad. I mean, it was good for the Bhrathair because it finally gave them a chance to live in peace and work toward creating life in the desert. But at the same time, I believe it was as Linden guessed... ...

Even better question... What miracles could the Lords have wrought using Lore as powerful as Kasreyn's? Alas, if that power were used for good...

He would have had to give them a song and a dance about something or other. Um... didn't he...? I seem to have forgotten exactly why they let him send them away... But of course they wouldn't have known what he was up to, and if he gave them a totally innocent reason to accept the Ward, then they m...

The gift that keeps on giving, eh? *snicker* If the New Lords had accepted the service of the Bloodguard but denied the Vow, then maybe things would have turned out differently during the Battle of Revelstone. Possibly some of the Haruchai would have stayed around to help defend the grand seat of al...

I'd think they would go about it the way Mhoram did in the time after TPTP, looking for "lore which is not so apt for destruction ... lore in which the Oath of Peace and the preservation of the Land live together." Not necessarily, Atiaran begins explaining the Unfettered to Covenant for ...

Oh I don't disagree in the slightest, but as I was saying at one point earlier, if anyone had done what Linden was able to do back in the days of the Lords, they would've most likely been accused of being a Raver until and unless proven otherwise. The Oath of Peace was not only toward the Earth but ...

But like all things, isn't it open to interpretation? lol I mean reality is based on perspective, right?

and the Unfettered healer was in fact able to heal people , like Covenant. Yeah, that dawned on me as well, that what the Unfettered Healer in Morinmoss in TPTP did heal Covenant wasn't much different from what Linden did numerous times to help him. But she (the Healer) was Unfettered, free from th...

Well, unless Amok was Appointed to the task of being enchanted for that specific purpose, but to that extent the Elohim would have had to have known that the Law of Death would've been broken and the Staff of Law destroyed because of it. Which in turn allowed for Foamfollower to give Vain to Covenan...

I think Kevin by virtue of his lore was able to create a being as close the the Elohim as was possibe,after all Amok was the pure form of eathpower bound only by the power of his maker's command sentient in every way and free in every way other than to command his own fate as the Elohim can. That c...

Oopsy, that guest was me. I just had to reformat and forgot to sign back in.

What strikes me as a bit odd is the vague similarity between how Findail and Amok were "caught". Hile Troy's "Earth Sight" (for lack of a better word) that allowed him to see though he was blind helped him to catch Amok in Revelwood. He kept seeing the distortion moving from plac...

Sorry, rillinlure. Hope you don't feel that we're ganging up on you. Oh not at all! That's the reason I posted it here, to get others' opinions. I know I don't quite catch everything everytime I read a story, especially one as powerful as the Chronicles. So I like to throw out my ideas and see what...

I've read the Chronicles and Second Chronicles several times, and every time something new snags my attention. This time it is a question concerning Amok... Possibly this has been discussed many times, maybe even settled. If that's the case, forgive my newbie ignorance. lol :D Considering Amok's per...

I'm digging the conversations here. Oh, hi there. I'm new. Amazingly enough, I've been coming here two days, and everytime I read the posts, I smile. Wonderful discussions, and a little playful humor here and there. It's great!

Hehe... I chose rillinlure because I feel it was quite underrated and underused in the book. The dust has the same power as hurtloam yet was only used (to my recollection) once, and that was when they put it in the army's food in TIW. Plus the nick was available, and it just kind of flows... "r...

Well mine is February 29. I'll be 28. Wait, I'll be 7. Wait... Oh geez, Leap Year birthdays suck...

Didn't regular gold have power of its own? I don't quite remember. That would stand to reason that the second metal of the alloy would also have power in the land, and the two mixed together would combine those powers. So what would the power of the second metal be? But I digress, and I'm about to d...

Okay, I stand corrected. My oopsy. Berek called forth the Fire-lions from Mount Thunder. But I could've sworn it was stated somewhere that he knew about the white gold. It does stand to reason though, and I correct my former post, that if Berek had the white gold then it would've still been somewher...
