Loric's Krill

[Forestal]

the question of the Krill is an easy one, every hero needs a sword. king arthur had excalibur, zoro had his saber thingy... etc...

it only stands to reason that a lord would need a weapon, and as such loric fashioned the Krill to basically be a stylish short sword that he would weild in his wars against the viles... and as he was a lord you would expect that naturally he would have a sword with which he could harness earthlore...

and lo and behold, the Krill is explained in under *looks at his watch* 2 minutes

p.s oh yeah, hi again been away for a while... i'll b dropping back in every now and again... busy with college init

[Mistweave]

Can anyone tell me if krill is the name of weapon in the real world? Or did SRD make it up. The only reference I can find is to microshrimp-whale food.

[birdandbear]

Well, there was a great/terrible low budget fantasy movie in the 8o's with Liam Neeson called Krull....but I never could figure out if Krull was the magic trans-dimensional moving castle or the magic singing boomerang/chinese throwing star weapon....

[Landwaster]

There os such a thing as a 'Kris' I think.

[Ryzel]

Indonesian knife, I think. The wave-bladed kind.

My thoughts after reading this thread, which is one of the best:

-There is wild magic in every atom of the Land. If Cov knew how, everything in the Land, including the materials used by Loric to create the Krill, could respond to the white gold wielder.

- Why would Kevin hinge the realization of the 7th, and possibly the 6th, Wards on his father's sword? I mean, was he really shallow enough to bet the future peoples of his Wards on the premise that the RoD would not destroy or bury it for all time?

- If it was the SoL that enabled the realization of the Krill at Revelstone, then maybe the SoL is actually the fourth Ward, and the Krill the fifth, and the knowledge to activate the Krill, the sixth. Nah. The Wards seem to be knowledge alone.

When did the Krill's Gem turn blue?

When did the Krill's Gem turn blue?

IIRC only for a moment when Mhoram tried to remove it from the stone table (after Trell's desolation.)

[jacob Raver, sinTempter]

When he failed, or when he did it?

[dlbpharmd]

OK wait, I'm wrong on this. It wasn't after Trell's desolation, it was after Covenant refused Mhoram's summons. When Covenant disappeared and Mhoram turned back toward the Council, he noticed the krill had been shining white, and when he tried to withdraw it, the gem turned blue for an instant.

Or I could still be wrong. Tell you what, I'll look it up tonight.

[jacob Raver, sinTempter]

Kewl...I think you're right though.

I'm pretty sure your right...for some reason it's in my head that, at the time I thought the blue was the gem's recognition of Mhoram's power (didn't Mhoram's power express blue from his staff? I'm to bound up in the current chron's to remember/go back)

You're mixing two separate incidents. After TC refused the summons Mhoram grabbed the krill's handle. The gem flickered blue for an instant, but he couldn't budge it from the table. After the desolation, he observed that the gem was shining white and removed it easily.

It is an obvious reference to the sword in the stone from the tales of king arthur. Glimmermere is a reference to the Lake from king arthur but without a Lady swimming around in it distributing swords.

Blue is a peaceful color, it represents the oath of peace. Doctors and dentists often wear blue garb because of its capacity for calming their patients. SRD, given his background, would know this, and that's why he chose blue as the New Lord's color.
