Probably so. What better way to resolve everything at once then by having all major players come together. Besides, I suspect Foul would like to see the Worm drink the Earthblood and become strong enough to break the Arch; tihs would make his victory and translation out of the Land more sweet.
Foul gloat??? Never!! I wonder if he has prepared a speech?
I predict multiple scenes/viewpoints stretching the tension to the throw-the-book-across-the-room point.
Or else, some completely unthought of mindshag for an ending:
- the Land is the Creator's estranged wife and He made the Arch of Time as a beautiful prison for her insanity/suicide which is personified in Foul. Covenant will realize this and convince the Creator that it's time to let her go... in the Last Dark of his accession, Linden and Covenant will be the new Arch and recreate the Land in their image...
- Cov is the Creator, but much older, having been the Arch for millennia upon millennia. Foul is his leprosy. The three come together for a group hug involving mixed levels of enthusiasm, resulting in Creator 2.0 (beta).
- With the Arch falling, persons and creatures of all epochs of the Land come forth for a final smackdown. (Let the chair-throwing begin.)
Or some other unforeseen complications... but I suspect SRD will do what he always does, and surprise and challenge and completely floor us with his choices in bringing it all to a close. However it happens it will be bittersweet.
