A mere three weeks, fellow Tower questers! Are we going to do a reading group, or just disappear for a few days while we finish it. I think instituing a policy of non-spoling will be important.

In my opinion you folks may undervalue King's abilities. I have always found his descriptive talents to be second to none, and his ability to craft characters not in word but in their deeds to be top-notch. You'll note that he rarely EVER uses adverbs to describe character reactions. By the time he ...

Thomin's last act shows the essence of his duty to the Lord - by killing Verement before he is forced to swear allegiance to the Despiser (he would have been killed afterwards anyway), he preserves the Lord's honour. But is it that simple? Who's to say Verement wouldn't have spent his last strength...

Akasri, With the Law of Death broken, and Covenant/The White Gold acting as the Arch of time, the door is open for any of the dead to rise. But, Didn't Linden repair the Law of Death at the end of WGW with the new Staff of Law? Or is it still broken? A fair question. I don't recall that occurring, ...

Gunslinger, although a relative newcomer, has brought some strong opinion to the Tank and managed to remain civil and courteous during our recent emotionally charged discussion. Either could provide a proper pacifistic, anti-American counter-balance for me! ;) Kidding of course. :haha: Well-crafted...

Valid point Wildfish, but with the dead in Andelain not really being "dead", Covenant may be more involved than any of us think.... but, who knows right? I agree. All or some the dead in Andelain may physically aid the new quest. I'd love to see Mhoram kick some RAver ass again! Anyone he...

Even his newly found nemesis, A Gunslinger (me) agrees. Just don't let it go to his sizeable head.

Brinn, You pose a question so tough ("What do I propose we do about radical Islam?") and one that I never considered holistically, that I cannot provide an answer right off the cuff. I am going to ruminate on it, do a bit of reading, and provide an answer soon. I fear though, that I will h...

BIG Reminder!!!

Recall my friends that the Law of Death was broken when Elena brought Kevin back.


Anything is possible when you ARE the white Gold.

We'll get TC back.

Brinn, wishing it to be so, then saying it is so, does not make it so. You seem to say that is either a breach of logic, or an implied falsehood that my analysis and criticism did not begin with an end in mind, specifically finding fault with the Bush team's problematic trip through Iraq. That I dec...

Thanks Brinn. I do think that you need to know something about me. I did not begin offering my opinions about the Iraq/Berg issue(s) with the aim of spinning against the Bushies. I am an independent voter, nad though a touch left of moderate, I have voted Republican in the past (5 times) and would h...

That would be an interesting twist if TC was actually Berek (through some time twist that comes about in the 3rd chron.). Then he'd be responsible for Elena, who led to the Law of Death being broken. And he'd also be responsible for Kevin (his heir if he were Berek), who performed the Ritual of Des...

I tend to have different favorites in different contexts. And I've always loved High Lord Mhoram and Saltheart Foamfollower.

Cool. Mhorham was always my favorite.
