I noticed that and thought it was neat.
Rivers named to honor Lore?

I didn't see an appropriate thread for this observation, and a search yielded no proof of previously mentioned, although I imagine this has surely been noted before.

Seconded on the "good catch"!
Hopefully I'll now keep an eye out for hithertofore-unnoticed implications tied to that...
Also, I think those words are beautiful...
Rill. Maerl.
Rhadamaerl.
Lillianrill.
"Till Rill and Maerl are new and clean...
As ancient Llurallin..."*

"People without hope not only don't write novels, but what is more to the point, they don't read them.
They don't take long looks at anything, because they lack the courage.
The way to despair is to refuse to have any kind of experience, and the novel, of course, is a way to have experience."
-Flannery O'Connor
"In spite of much that militates against quietness there are people who still read books. They are the people who keep me going."
-Elisabeth Elliot, Preface, "A Chance to Die: The Life and Legacy of Amy Carmichael"

Going on 30 years, and I'm still finding out stuff. Well done, Shuram.-

The Chronicles are like onions. They smell bad and make people cry....Just kidding.
They have layers. Every time I read them, I discover something new. Facepalm indeed. This should actually be a thread based on new discoveries upon re-reading, which probably already exists. (?) I guess I should head on over to "Dissecting the Land".....

I am noticing that maerl and rill are quite recurring.
suru-pa-maerl
radhamaerl
Maerl River
lor-liarill
lillianrill
Rill River
I am beginning to grasp a sort of root meaning. I feel as if rill suggests "flesh (of the earth/Land)", and maerl suggests "bone (of the earth/Land)"....Anyone else feeling this?

Good point 
But, no, I think there is more to it than just stone and wood. At least, I don't think the people of the land, or particularly the Hirebrands and Gravelingasas, think of it as 'merely' wood or stone, but rather parts of the living, breathing lifeforce that is the Land. I guess I am just reaching, or projecting my own interpretation, so I guess I am trying to say that it just feels like that is what they mean, to me at least.
