didn't Foul hide very near to Earthroot after TPTP for 3 thousand years? I seem to remember stlt from the beginning of TWL. this also indicates that he could somehow tap into EP

Kinda difficult to figure out what Foul could and could not do with Earthpower.For when Covenant had defeated the Despiser, reduced him by wild magic and laughter to a poverty of spirit so complete that he could no longer remain corporeal, the Despiser had not died. Despite did not die. Fleeing the destruction of his Creche, he had hidden at the fringes of the one power potent enough to heal even him: the Earthpower itself.

Delayed reply, I know, but I just now saw it...
Trell's low-grade RoD would seem to say so, I would assume. It may not be part of Kevin's Wards, but it's Earthpower, and Earthpower lends itself to either construction or destruction, with no consideration of the Oath.Fist and Faith wrote:(Hmmm, why didn't I remember this type of lore when I was trying to defend Mhoram's decision to abandon Kevin's Lore and look for some other lore?Is it also incompatible with the Oath?)
"It is not the literal past that rules us, save, possibly, in a biological sense. It is images of the past. Each new historical era mirrors itself in the picture and active mythology of its past or of a past borrowed from other cultures. It tests its sense of identity, of regress or new achievement against that past.”
