Lore and relics
Remember back on the other chronicles that they mentioned that there were seven(?) artifacts or parts of lore that the lord were looking for and the Krill was number 5 or 6. Amok was also part of it as I recall. Anyone think that maybe Amok and the other parts of lore will return or are they all pretty much in the past.

Agreed with dlbpharmd - though the fanboy geek in me wants to know where wards 4-6. Just for the sake of reminder, shadowslance, we know the locations of 4 of Kevin's Wards. He left the first with, iirc, the Giants, who gifted it to the people of the Land. The Second Ward was found under Mt. Thunder during the Quest for the Staff of Law, in LFB. In The WL, Covenant sees the treasures stored in Revelstone, and realizes that at some point between TPTP and TWL, the Third Ward was found.
Amok was, depending on semantics, either the 7th Ward in and of himself, or the guide to the 7th Ward, which was the Earthblood. Loric's krill comes in because awakening the krill was the sign that summoned Amok to the Land. It was supposed to be the signal that the first 6 Wards had been successfully mastered, and that with that mastery Loric's krill had been brought to life. Instead, Covenant awoke the krill with Wild Magic, thus bypassing Kevin's designs.
Wards 4, 5, and 6 were never recovered.

Its cool to think what they might have been and where they are still hidden. Although, after all this time I'm sure they'd be redundant.chaplainchris wrote: Wards 4, 5, and 6 were never recovered.
Wouldn't it be cool if SRD contrived a way for all or some of them to be used in TLD...? Nah, I know... that ship has sailed I think. He wouldn't take the story in that direction this late in the game. Still, cool to think about...
It appeals to the nerd in me.

I don't know that they would be redundant--Linden & Co are far more powerful than the old Lords, but her abilities are less useful.
The old Lords had powers of communication and forbidding which would prove handy, since they need to forbid the worm. Personally, I assume the lore needed to forbid will be given by the earth itself, rather than from Kevin, but the wards might help.
