And we have this, earlier:
In [i]Lord Foul's Bane[/i] was wrote:Under the spell of her voice, and the pressure of his vertigo, he had a momentary vision of what the Land must have looked like after Kevin had unleashed the Ritual of Desecration. Behind the luminous morning, he saw hills ripped barren, soil blasted, rank water trickling through vile fens in the riverbed, and over it all a thick gloom of silence - no birds, no insects, no animals, no people, nothing living to raise one leaf or hum or growl or finger against the damage.
You could argue this was only Covenant's imaginings. But it shares a consistency with other descriptions.

Didn't Donaldson give a description in a Q&A? He said he pictured it as countless acid skest burrowing through the Land Earthpower everywhere at once.

Also, what's the context of the first description?

The context of the TPTP quote was Foul and Covenant's final battle. At one point Foul uses illusions to cause Covenant despair.

The Q&A quote is back on page 1 of this thread. And it was skurj, not skest. :wink:
