What was in the Wightbarrow?
I've never worked out what was forming in the Wightbarrow, that the Cavewights thought was Drool Rockworm but wasn't.
Any suggestions, humorous or otherwise?

To the Cavewights, Drool was a God. They were actually raising some kind of demon thing and not Drool at all. Covenant, after Findail banished his shade from Kiril Threndor, actually went to the Wighbarrow and made "something rise" from it to free the First and Pitchwife. Distracting the Cavewights enough so they could get away and get to the cavern where Linden, Findail and Vain were.
And I believe in you
altho you never asked me too
I will remember you
and what life put you thru.

~this world was never meant for one as beautiful as you~
...for then I could fly away and be at rest. Sweet rest, Mom. We all love and miss you.

Whatever it was the wrights were damn careful about how the barrow was put together. Remember how the First and Pitchwife started to mess up the bones and all the wrights froze in their attacks...
Linden said that it wasn't Drool but something monstrous... makes me wonder ... she never saw Drool so mebbe it was Rockworm but she didn't know it.
I find it kinda funny that Findal pretended to be whatever it was under the barrow. It brings back a memory of Linus sitting in the pumpkin patch and sees a shadow of what he thought was the Great Pumpkin and faints and it turns out to be Snoopy.

got a point about linden there... like with the raver she wouldn't be able 2 recognise it unless she knew what it was b4...
however i guess she saw the cavewights and knew that whatever was in the barrow wasn't one of them... and in that way, monsterous... i guess...

I don't believe it was Findail who caused this, it was TC.I find it kinda funny that Findal pretended to be whatever it was under the barrow.

I've forgotten - we're the Cavewights ever referred to as being lore wise?so much for the cavewights being lore-wise...

Maybe it was a Gremlin that Drool had been feeding after midnight...

I thought the cavewights referred to themselves as being lorewise, or at least alluded to something similar to it, when confronted by TC and the others while in the room with the pile of bones that housed something monstrous. They claimed to have kept their power hidden from Foul.Forestal wrote:they are refered to as lore-wise somewhere in the 2nd crons.... but i'm not sure where, its not in TWl tho, thats 4 sure... either of the others could b it..
