The lighted floor

Post by MrKABC »

In TWL there was a reference to the Lords' hall in which the floor had been set to glow by Kevin Landwaster and the Staff of Law.

However, I can't recall that ever being mentioned in the original trilogy.

Is that a gaffe?

Actually I think I remember something about it,let me get my books back from my brother in law and I will check it out.Or it could just be an illusion from the reflection of graveling off of the Disco ball that Kevin had installed?

Ya it's in there. Just go to the first paragraph of chapter 10.

Are we looking for references to the lighted floor, or to Kevin having set it aglow?

Sheal's TIW.10 reference is in the former category.

I was going to get out all my books and try and find it but I got side tracked with the conversation between TC and Mhoram. If I get some ambition I will look for it. But don't count on that.

My question was in regard to Kevin Landwaster setting the floor aglow with the Staff of Law.

I remember reading that in TWL - when Covenant entered the hall for the soothtell and realized that the glow was missing. At that point Covenant "remembers" how it was before and that the floor had been made to glow by High Lord Kevin and the Staff of Law.

There was a reference in TWL and PTP to the glowing floor, but I do not remember the explanation being present in the first Chronicles? Did I miss the reference or is it not there?

I did a quick thru and couldn't find a reference in TIW. I am now reading TPTP. If I see anything in there I will let you know.
