is there any proof that a Creator actually exists? As far as I know, the Creator remains a legend, handed down by the inhabitants of a world that profess His existence, but heretofore has never actually revealed Himself has He? And who is to say what the Creators actual intentions are? Are our exam...

Holy Crap! SRD dropped an enormous clue in the GI: Is he finally admitting that the Creator IS Covenant? Covenant certainly acquiesced in his own destruction. Myabe it will turn out that Covenant is the Creator and Roger is the Despiser. :lol: Oh dear God I hope not! You hope not for their sakes, o...

Fisty has an answer, I bet! Well, uh... *clears throat* Heh. Actually, it's largely unknown. Nothing was ever said. Here's my own theorized timeline: -a-Jeroth left Revelstone, going to Mount Thunder to get evil crap rolling. -Kevin "doubted Lord Foul without knowing why." (This could hav...

Holy Crap! SRD dropped an enormous clue in the GI: If any of that is true, the Despiser could never acquiesce in his own destruction: the Creator might conceivably do so. (What? Did you think it was an *accident* that no one appeared to warn Linden before she entered the Land for "The Last Chr...

Here are some other loose ends: 1. What about Kevin's Wards 4,5 and 6 -- where and what are they? And did #2 ever become useful? Thats a loose end, but I would be surprised if it comes up. Kevin's Lore is of no use to Linden or Covenant, so I can't see a discovery of one of the Wards playing any ro...

There are still quite a few questions in regards to the Durance. When Findail is telling the story of the "fire in the north" that was ultimately capped by an unwilling Kastenessen, he says something along the lines of that he isn't going to say what caused the fire (which I assume would b...

Actually, Covenant says that he made *something* arise out of the Wightbarrow, but he doesn't say it was Drool. And Linden at one point comments that whatever it is that the Cavewights were going to resurrect, it wasn't going to be Drool. The fact that it received so much airtime made me feel like ...

Then I read in the GI that SRD says Foul picked Covenant, not the Creator. That the Creator never picked anyone, in fact. So now I am confused. I am confused by that statement in general. The Power that Preserves at least doesn't give the impression that Foul was solely reponsible for the selection...

so both the song of ice and fire and malazan are more than two pov's? Well how many pov's are in either one? Cause i am probably going to try and read them anyway. In total quite a few (for the Song of Ice and Fire series), but each individual book generally has around eight. Unlike some novels whe...

I'm thinking that maybe some very well done mature graphic novels would do a lot to help visualize the land and the characters before any movies were made. obviously taking the chronicles into any other medium is going to be tough and there will be translation issues, but graphic novels could be a ...

Interesting idea. I was thinking how odd it was that the Insequent called Foul a-Jeroth. The Clave, ignorant of the Land's history as we know it, called him that. How strange that the Insequent, who would have been aware of the Despiser far longer than the Clave even existed, would also call him th...

Anyone ever notice that NO ONE in The Land (outisders included) EVER has to "go" to the restroom? I mean SRD describes what appears to be bathrooms but only wash basins seem to be present, but he never even mentions if Revelstone has a giant-wrought outhouse or anything like that. The fir...

Kind of an off-the-wall topic here, but does anybody ever wonder what the rest of the Earth might look like beyond the Land? The Land itself has been written about pretty thoroughly; though there are still a lot of blank spaces on the maps. The lifeless Gray Desert lies to the south with Snowy Plai...

Interesing idea, but it doesn't fit in with the previous Chronicles conception of the Despiser, and anyway FR states that a-Jeroth was the name Foul used when he was on the Council. That being said I wouldn't be surprised at all to find out during the course of this series that a lot of what we thin...

I think it was TC's command. Remember, though he is one of the Dead at the time, he's also the Timewarden -- Part of the Keystone of the Arch of Time. He is the Wild Magic. I think TC as the Timewarden issued the order not to speak to the Dead. And then when he was compelled forward by the summonin...

I assumed Covenant was being controlled by a Raver - which would have explained why he didn't want Linden to touch him, didn't want to be around the Staff of Law, and why when he struck Berek it was described as being hot. Then again, I thought that was kind of a cliched way for Donaldson to go, and...

Finished "Fatal Revenant" a couple of days ago (I took my time with it and enjoyed it slowly, knowing full well its going to be a long three years) and it was exceptional. Much better than "Runes", to the point that it gives me great hope that the final two books are going to be ...

Let's face it. As far as *first* novels go, LFB is extremely inaccessible. So is The Real Story for that matter. SRD is a writer who avoids all those temptations in story telling to suck you in early with a snappy opening. His storytelling is more slow and methodical. It tends to build slowly, but ...

So is it safe to say the Chronicles aren't very popular with the fairer sex? I guess I need a find a woman that likes them and marry her lol. My wife loves the Chronicles as much as I do, she is a woman of exceptional good taste in more ways than one! :) Actually, I brought them to her attention ab...

The Terminator is not a movie you'd take Kids too. TCTC are still fantasy, no matter what they're rated. Kids goto fantasy movies. Frodo was naked when Sam found him in the tower of Cirith Ungol. I can't recall exactly how they handled that in the film (there is a scene in FOTR where the four main ...
