Actually, I think I'm on the only sane one here. But then again, I poop into frying pans, which others tell me isn't exactly something everyone does.

I went for something simple from within the poem Foamfollower sings:
"Seven Hells for failed faith,
For Land's betrayers, man and wraith;
And one brave Lord to deal the doom,
To keep the blacking blight from Beauty's bloom."

I rearranged the poem somewhat:
"The blacking blight of Beauty's Bloom:
The way and the door for man and wraith,
To doom the failed faith of Hell's seven."

It may not be as catchy and as impressive, but it does have a similar moral and I was quite bored.

"Hell's seven" refers to the seven deadly sins, and that the only way to doom them would be summon them (they must first exist before they are destroyed; you must commit one of the seven and then destroy it how you wish).
But, as of now I really take no understanding in what SRD was trying to convey. I assumed he meant that Kevin is now apart of Seven Hells for invoking the doom upon the Land, which stained and redeemed it, but I don't know anymore.
Mad, they're all mad I tell you. *shakes head* Welcome to the Watch.
From what I've seen, I figured that.
Thank you, Av. (:

As I expected, it's an awesome choice. Well done.

Welcome, Workshop Creation. I have to say, you don't sound fourteen; I wouldn't have put you anywhere under twenty.

A couple of bits of friendly advice: don't feed (or stroke, or otherwise mollycoddle) Jay, don't taunt the Revan, and don't enter the Think Tank unless you are actually a tank yourself. Oh, and strike Dan whenever the opportunity arises.

The Gap?! The Gap at fourteen?! If I'd read the Gap at fourteen, I would have exploded from sheer brutality and occasional incomprehension.

Which is why I am glad Hyperception has also read it and they seem to be enjoying talking about it together. I keep encouraging Beorn to stick his head in on the group read but so far that's been a no go.

Welcome to the Watch Hunsweasel. :D
You do not hear, and so you cannot be redeemed.

In the name of their ancient pride and humiliation, they had made commitments with no possible outcome except bereavement.

He knew only that they had never striven to reject the boundaries of themselves.

Hello all,

I have been a fan of SRD from the time he wrote the first TC book. Just found this site and created an account. Hope to participate as I can.
Thanks
