Kevin's place in the Land

Post by Warmark Jay »

I've had a nagging thought since reading the first series, and it's come back after finishing "Runes". It can be said that other than TC (and even moreso than Berek), Kevin Landwaster is the man whose choices have had the most impact on the Land.

I think there may be more to Kevin than SRD has told us. Specifically - my nagging thought is that he was actually an exile from the "real" world" as well. Anybody share my opinion?
"That must be the King."
"How do you know?"
"He hasn't got sh*t all over him."

High Lord Elena speculated that Kevin, after dying in the Desecration, was reborn in the "real" world and somehow was associated with the Creator.

However, I can't think of any references to Kevin that might mean he was from the "real" world, other than the fact that he knew about the power of white gold and wanted it very badly before finally giving in to despair.

I beleive SRD said once in the GI that Kevin Did Not come from our world.
If you look in the archives of the Regular Tc forum you will find a thread titled Kevin's Real Name..it talks about this subject.
