My compliments to the creator's of The Loresraat's Inventory.

Today I looked at the actual values of the items listed and compared them to their relative power in the Chronicles.

The Arch being the highest then White Gold....
It was noted in the book that the Illearth Stone was greater then the SoL and I see that reflected in the Inventory.
Well done!
(hopefully it wasn't just hastily thrown together! )

But how come there are no ur-Viles?
I wouldn't mind buying a wedge or two.

And I question the high value of an individual Haruchai!
One Haruchai equals an Elohim?
Please!
(let the flames begin!)

I'm checking out the earliest posts from this forum now.
It's very interesting to see how this all evolved over time.

Great, looks like I'm not going to get much work done today.
LOL!

You're damned right one Haruchai equals an Elohim!!! Who knows right from wrong? If there was a horde of nasties coming at you, which would you want at your side? Which would help you, and which would just float there watching? Which...

Oh hell, I'd better stop before I get violent!!!!!

*grumble* gonna bitch-slap that guy *growl* messin' with my boys!!!

Who knows right from wrong?

Certainly not the Harucai, who are so legalistic that they often miss the forest for the trees. I'll take Lord Mhoram here, or Saltheart Foamfollower.

If there was a horde of nasties coming at you, which would you want at your side?

Mhoram, or Foamfollower.

Which would help you, and which would just float there watching?

Which would judge you unfairly, and which would have compassion? Again, Mhoram, or Foamfollower.

Who knows right from wrong?

We won't know the answer to that until 2012 or whenever the last book comes out.

Well you got me there!

*grumble* gonna bitch-slap that guy *growl* messin' with my boys!!!

Yeah, but who would win in a fight?
An Elohim vs a Haruchai
I see your boy hanging from a tree by his toes and thought-speech crying for his mommy!

Yeah, they certainly have some blind spots, but at least their motives are good. They do what they can, even at horrifying cost to themselves, to keep the Land and its inhabitants safe. The Elohim, otoh, will do nearly all they can to safeguard themselves at the expense of everyone else.

I'll take Lord Mhoram here, or Saltheart Foamfollower.

Agreed! But when were they an option? Do they cost more or less in the Shop than the Haruchai or Elohim?

Yeah, but who would win in a fight?

Certainly, there's no contest. How does one fight the wind, or the water?

In your dreams, Spud!
