AATE Cover Art (US)
Moderators: dlbpharmd, High Lord Tolkien
Looks exactly like the Harrower to me, like i imagined him. AND with a staff, which would be the Staff of Law, what other staffs are there in circulation these days? The Lords had staffs, and the lillanrill, but none of them seem to be around any more.
Speculating: The Harrower will at some point get his hands on the Staff of Law. Probably after revealing to Linden where Jeremiah is hidden (maybe thats why they have to leave the land by boat). I dont see any ring on his finger, so he might not get the white gold (yet). Can he do his thing with just the Staff? What is his thing anyway? Doesnt sound like the rest of the supernatural creatures in the land are all too happy about it. Neither the bad nor the good ones. Anyone have a guess?

I really don't think that is the SoL II. The SoL was pretty much black with some Runes carved into it. Plus where are the metal bands?
It may be an ugly stick that the Harrow weilds to beat Esmer with.
Plus looking at the review that Orion Books gives is rather vague and not really a review at all.
But I guess you get a preconceived notion and when the book is released, it's not what you are expecting.
But the Yanks do like to have pretty pictures put with their books.
(Hope the worm eats the Harrow by mistake and has a reaction to it and falls into a coma.)
Don't my avatar reminds you what the worm is going to do?
Maybe he munching Inflelice?

Those crazy US covers.. They all look ridiculous and don't capture the spirit of the books whatsoever. I really prefer the UK / Australia ones.. Which is lucky, considering where I live.
Sure it could be the Harrow, but I'm not wanting to rule out Liand or that young Ramen kid.. I expect both those characters to change a bit and go off on their own.. And we all know Liand looks after the staff for Linden sometimes.

Forgive my death.

I think we discussed (when the FR cover was released) that the pictures on the cover are only representations. On FR it's Gandalf...er...I mean Wildwood and he's holding the Staff of Law only it doesn't have bands on it (if I remember correctly).SGuilfoyle1966 wrote:Staff of Law would have bands on top, as well as the previously mentioned Runes and the charred appearance.
I still go with The Harrow
a) because I'm in love with the Harrow and I think the dude on the cover of AATE is HAWT
but more seriously
b) it's the beads that give it away. The garb the dude is wearing on the cover doesn't fit Liand, especially given Liand has black hair, doesn't he...or did I make that up? I really should pay more attention!

Hey I love it too. Every time I run into a munching Ur Dead post I have to tear my away from the funny pic. The Worm??? I never guessed. Give it a whole new meaning [Munch her baby.

As for the cover, that's not how I'd pictured the Harrow. He looks too serious and his eyes are too normal as people already said.

Is that the Harrow? OK, I owe everyone a Coke. Didn't first check the date on the thread...Romeo wrote:

It's definitely The Harrow.
What's the big deal about this Harrow, anyway? The only thing that he seems to be good at is getting laughed at by Giants and kicking Haruchai asses.

No kidding!
And I was hoping Matrixman would show up at the Watch again after AATE came out. But so far....

And the big deal about the Harrow: he's HAWT! [I confess I've had a crush on him for quite some time!...even if he is a prat...but I seem to always have the hots for prats! ]
Ha - it makes sense!
Just finished reading AATE - at last I can read these forums!
Loved it - but my main point is the UK book cover makes sense!!!

High Lord Mhoram ROCKS! -
But now Mhoram felt the fire which burned against his flesh under his robe. In a rush of exultation, he understood it, grasped its meaning intuitively. As the Stone reached its height over his head, he tore open his robe and grasped Loric's krill.
Its gem blazed like a hot white brazier in his hands. It was charged to overflowing with echoes of wild magic; he could feel its keenness as he gripped its hilt.
It was a weapon strong enough to bear any might.
