Here is my new synthesis: 1. The Lurker of the Sarangrave Flat is born from unspecified banes under Mount Thunder that are washed away by erosion and accumulate in the swampy delta of Ruinwash. 2. The One Forest covers all of the Land, save for Lifeswallower where the Lurker rules. The Lurker wants ...

After thinking about this some more, I have come to a conclusion that there isn't a continuity error. "The trees," he told the gathering shadows, "could neither strike nor flee. Their limbs were not formed to wield fire and iron." Findail had said, A tree may know love and feel p...

Let's not forget Findail's version of the events: "In the nigh-unremembered past of the place which you deem the Land, the life was not the life of men and women, but of trees. One wide forest of sentience and passion filled all the region - one mind and heart alive in every leaf and bough of e...

I think the timing is problematic with Wayfriend's idea. I think the existence of the Colossus of the Fall implies that the Ravers were in existence well before they started possessing the humans of the southern kingdom. Here is my bare-bones timeline: 1. The Ravers appear. 2. The Ravers become a pr...

Unchecked, her needs goaded the Worm to wakefulness. It lifted its vast head, seeking havoc. For a moment as terrible as eternity, it looked into her eyes with recognition. If Lord Foul was able to show Linden the worm as a physical entity, I'm inclined to believe the Worm can indeed manifest as su...

I see the firelions as something between independent living things and just lava. I see them as some sort of spirits of the lava that have the power to direct their constituent material to some degree, so that they can take lion-like shapes and erupt when they will to any direction they wish, but th...

I think this is the first time we see on this board. Anyway, I want to say that your work is awesome. It utilizes the comic medium very effectively.

I know the feeling that a labor of love gives... Thumbs up!

The Worm = the Arch of Time. I didn't originally invent it but I agree with it. I would also add that the Arch of Time = the system of natural laws (the Laws of Death, Life, Time, etc., etc.). So in the beginning the Creator made the set of Laws that bounded the universe. His "bright children&q...

As the least likely character to be a traitor, we must entertain the possiblity that Liand, in fact, is a traitor. In the First Chronicles the beaty of the Land swayed Covenant to oppose Lord Foul. In the Second Chronicles, Lord Foul had mostly destroyed that beauty, but friendship of good people al...

I'll give some thoughts I remembered having while reading Fatal Revenant: The first chapters are very talky. Covenant and Jeremiah are definitely not alright. I suspect Covenant might be really Roger, with some "alterations". I think Roger might be possessed by Jehannum. Jeremiah might be ...

I still like the idea that the Worm (a.k.a. the Arch of Time) is killed (along with Elohim) but its body remains mostly intact. The result: the end of the world is delayed for the moment, but now, for example, time is incapable of healing itself, TC no longer has the Timewarden powers, and the Elohi...

The timeline is all wrong for the Ravers to be linked to humans. I think they have just learned to mimick humans pretty well while remaining fundamentally alien. We are looking at a time when the known inhabitants of the Land featured the collective consciousness of the One Forest and (probably) the...

I can see it in my mind: --------------- Linden: (makes a caesure) Hurry, everyone! We must escape quickly! (Linden & co. spend the rest of Against All Things Ending studying magic in a secluded laboratory in the Southron Range, Insequent/Unfettered style.) Linden: Gasp, Esmer! You actually said...

I'm wondering if the explanation of the meaning behind the Seven Words is actually important exposition for future books. Namely, the reference to the foundations of the Earth reminds me of the Worm that crust of the Earth collected on. I'm thinking that perhaps Earthpower is radiated by the sleepin...

.... or, Linden uses a ceasure to travel back in time, and the rest of the series is in the past before the Worm was awoken. There was a rather important moment before the end, where Linden summoned the Ranyhyn, and they miraculously returned to her side. The Ranyhyn would be important in any ceasu...

With Covenant in tow, the good guys will be able to use the Staff of Law and white gold at the same time. As Covenant is the rightful white gold wielder, he might be able to just ignore Esmer's presence and blast skurj into nonedible dissolution. With Linden wielding the Staff of Law and hurtloam a...

I've been thinking that the theory that the Elohim are the spirits of the stars (a.k.a. the Creator's bright children) devoured by the Worm (a.k.a. the Arch of Time) is correct. I think the Elohim have gained temporary freedom while the Worm is asleep but will be absorbed back into its greater spiri...

I think Linden summoned Covenant with the intention of giving him his ring. Linden is capable of giving Covenant his ring. Roger said he wasn't as insistent in asking for the ring as the croyel would have liked, since he claimed to know Linden well enough to know that she wouldn't do that. In that s...

I think the UK paperback at least had Roger have a whole hand from Kastenessen. If Kastenessen and Roger switched hands, Kastenessen may be thinking that if Roger becomes the rightful owner of a white gold ring (say, from Joan, if Herem lets her become sane enough to cede her ring), Kastenessen coul...

I have an idea to solve the issue: We know that the Theomach was someone who was mainly interested in his own glory. Defeating the Guardian would fit well with that, but having to stick around for ever and ever after that not so much. The Theomach would have his glory, but at the cost of everything,...
