It's just a jump to the left
and then a step to the right
you put your hands on your hips
and pull your knees in tight
But it's the pelvic thrust
that really drives you insane
Let's do the time warp again!!!!!!!

Why?

Post by Ylva Kresh »

Hello, I´m new. Why that picture on top of this pages? At that time and place there would be no Covenant of any substance to hold that staff. Or am I wrong? Nice clean robes too. Good for Covenant too keep his ring. But can he hold the staff, so why not...

Am I in the wrong forum now? Should I be disecting the land?

Heh, I think that's more of dissecting the banner than the land. ;)

Welcome all!

I think the banner is at least partly random artwork from an edition of the books. Cover art isn't know for being the most accurate depiction...

Sadly true...

Post by Ylva Kresh »

Thank you for the warm welcome! The front cover of WGW (Del Rey, Nov-89), which includes the part of the banner has wexed me quite some time now, 14 years acctually. Good to get it into the open and fresh air of this forum. More irritationg however, is the illustrations for Gilden Fire (Fontana-84). Is it generally known that several illustrations are stolen from the book "Gods and Heroes from Viking Mythology"? Looks stupid on page74 (Korik spring from Brabhas back) and p 84 (Ranyhyn leap the gorge) when all weaponry have been removed from the rider´s hands and when Fenris the Wolf stands model for some Kresh at page 90. And more, but I should not bore you.

Very sad since I absolutely adore Peter Goodfellow´s illustrations on the front covers throughout the series.

I had no idea. That's quite interesting.

(and I think I speak for the rest of us that any obscure facts remotely SRD related interest us)
