Finished it a couple of weeks ago. Didn't attempt to post anything anywhere about it right away, as posting anything while i was seething bitterly about a beloved author pissing all over a beloved series would have been ...... a bitter experience. Now i've calmed down, and can barely be bothered pos...

Yes, but killed by Bloodguard - so presumably their bodies would be returned for replacement?

I was about to post a new Topic - when i found this one..! [Has anyone here done any investigation of just how many Bloodguard may remain at the timeof the first or second Chrons? I'm on a regular re-read of the series and this time around it just struck me that a good many of the slain Bloodguard a...

Go ahead & read it - it's one of the best epic fantasy works out there (just as SRD's is), and there's nothing at all wrong with SK's ending.

Waiting for them is fine. I've waited for SRD before... waited (& waited..) for King's Dark Tower....waited (& still waiting) for the late Robert Jordan's (& now Sandersons) Wheel of Time,.... waited, & waiting, for GRRM's Song of Ice and Fire. Waiting is part of the experience. ... ...

.... I think it's pretty clear that the Haruachai are in their own way beings of Earthpower just as the Ranyhyn are.... Plus, they disdain all weapons, which would include lore? Lets face it, an haruchai with a sword would be more powerful/dangerous than one without, but they disdain that. Their ap...

The 'Voice of the Masters' is the title you're thinking of, I think. & yes, you are right - the 3 Humbled together can potentially overrule him. And the Humbled are with Linden & Stave, and can (eventually) be convinced of the right path? (They are already more 'cooperative' than they might ...

1. Maybe we'll learn that there are those Haruchai who, like Stave, have resisted against the judgements of the Masters. 2.The Bloodguard may return in the latter books to oppose the Masters. How cool would that be? 1. I tend to doubt it too. Stave is unique in this I think. 2. Not cool at all? (Bl...

We will discover that Thomas Covenant is both the Creator and The Despiser.

Voted yes.
Linden is (& was in 2nd Chron) a great character.
I still think we'll get some good (real) TC coverage yet in this series though.

You are right Drew, which makes yours the more accurate answer. Though why the Woodhelvenin gave heed to the words of Jehannum, after he fled their test of truth, I dont know.

Because their last visitor had been a Raver so they were now a bit more security-consious and therefore wished to apply the 'test of truth' to any strangers.

They were some species of Ape, and they were burned/electrocuted by electric eels in the water when they tried to cross the river.

Leitrim is wild and beautiful.... but not a patch on Donegal.

Kevin, I think you are nearly on it. I remember something along the lines of "...a Power not apt for his use...."


btw - what part of the auld sod are you a son of.
I am a Donegal man, living in Sligo & working (this minute) in Leitrim., so I got the North West well covered.

"Vortex of Trepidation"
& they were 'Birds' and 'Big' and 'Scary as hell' (& I cant remember their name!)

Taking the case of 'Ur-Lord', I always took the "UR" to mean 'Super' or 'More than' (as opposed to 'almost' as quoted above. So ur-lord = 'Super' Lord. ( Maybe as evidenced by Prothalls almost immediate offer to step down & offer the post of High Lord to the Ur Lord ?). BUT - does that...

Thats ok drew - sorry for the misunderstanding.

drew, was that sarcasm (I do'nt know you so I ca'nt tell).
If so, did I do something to invite it? If not, my apologies.
