That's a good question... all that I've been able to figure is that it is during the Battle of Soaring Woodhelvin. I'm actually leaning towards the human being Thomas Covenant since there is a ring... on the wrong hand... and his face is very scruffy.

Not that art ever actually has to be a scene from the book, but this kind of seems to me like the scene where Covenant has fallen Bilboesquely into a chasm in Mt Thunder during LFB. Because it seems like a cliff and some sort of slope of "shale and loam and refuse" he is standing on. At that time, he has a staff, and he encountered some old, well-dressed cavewights. The picture looks like the staff could be glowing, as it did in the book.

This was the cover for one of the SciFi Book Club omnibus editions, and I have it. I've always thought these were Cavewights (look at the huge shovel-like hands.)wayfriend wrote:Not that art ever actually has to be a scene from the book, but this kind of seems to me like the scene where Covenant has fallen Bilboesquely into a chasm in Mt Thunder during LFB.

Too old for Mhoram, maybe, but much too young to be Prothall.Poliwrath wrote:I think its to old for lord mhoram.. maybe its prothal at soaring woodhelvinl.. and I gotta think those are cavewights aswell
- lord willie nelson is a solid idea... but surely he would be fighting using guitar lore not staff lore?

You know, it looks like a Darrell K Sweet work to me.
If you compare it with the cover art for the First Chronicles,
... it does look most like Mhoram, although older.
In the final Chronicles, Mhoram relates how he had gone into the Blasted Hills and encountered ur-viles. So maybe.
But then again, if that guy is missing two fingers ...
