All of the above. I would love to find out how Foul got into the council. What his name was, what he looked like, how he
did it. I would love to read Kevin's head and how he came into his despair and ultimately thought he had no choice in invoking the RoD.
I would also love to read about the King and Queen, and how Berek became the Queen's champion, the maiming of his hand, his talk with the Earthpower...which we get a little of in LFB when Atarian sings "The Legend of Berek Halfhand"...The call of the Fire Lions. You know, the parrellels between Berek and Covenant are astounding. Both halfhanded--the obvious one there--but look at their titles. Both become "Earthfriend", both are "lords" Berek, Lord-Fatherer, Covenant "ur-Lord". They both seek to create a Staff of Law, tho it was only Covenant's ring that aided that. And they both defeat Foul. I think there is something to this. With the corruption of Time, maybe the two of them will actually meet or maybe, and this has been mention several times, maybe Covenant was actually Berek. Or
becomes Berek.
Playing with Time is a tricky thing. It boggles my mind to think of the endless possibilities the manipulation of Time can conjur up. I think we are going to get a history of the Land, but I don't think it's going to be "correct" history. We're going to know it's wrong, but the people of the Land aren't, because the "real" history will be unfolding wrong.
That statement...
"We will go back before the Lords, back before the Old Lords, the whole history of the Land will become relevant to the present."
It has me thinking about something. We know that Foul is going to sink into Time itself and corrupt it. What if he goes so far back in Time, that he actually corrupts the Arch itself at the time of it's making. And Covenant now is the Keystone of that Arch, the wild magic that holds it together. SRD said that "Covenant becomes Foul" in the Last Chrons. Could he mean in this way?? And if that's true, will it be Linden to try to seperate the two and destroy the Arch and the Land in the process? And what happens then? Will it be just the "corrupted" Arch that's destroyed and the correct timeline restored? Or will Time itself be utterly eradicated and nothing will remain but an abyss of nothingness?
hmmmmmmm...I don't know. I'm rambling again, it is rather early in the morning.
I just wish he would hurry up!! This waiting is driving me MAD! I'm going to start raving soon!!
