Oh dear, it's degenerated to goat imagery.
Well, hm. The great Chix with Stix debate. Let's ponder.
Elena? Ew. From the creepy incestuous crush to her perfect inability to plan and execute a war without going fatally emo in a pinch, Elena sucks from top to toenails. She broke the Law of Death, she fried the Staff of Law, and she gave my woobie Hile Troy a complex that lasted 3500 years. Civilizations rose, civilizations fell, and Elena sucked on. Even death was powerless to improve her.
Then her voice grew sharper, carrying an echo of the feral hate which had led her to break the Law of Death. "This one other thing I must say to you also. When the time is upon you, and you must confront the Despiser, he is to be found in Mount Thinder -- in Kiril Threndor, where he has taken up his abode."
Elena, Covenant moaned. You still haven't forgiven me, and you don't even know it.
Don't beat yourself up about it, Ur-lord. That girl will never be right.
Linden. Tough call.
Yikes! Edit, edit! Error! I done forgot I was in the Thomas Covenant forum. Which leads me to puzzle over how I can assess Linden's kewlness/lack thereof without mentioning Runes, but better safe than sorry.
Anyway, I'm undecided about Linden's sucketude. On the plus side, she's got the Staff of Law thing going, and the symbol of a doctor is a staff with two entwined snakes, so if that imagery pops up I'd have to rule her Cool. And the bit that I shall not mention even with spoiler space was... oh, this is just plain silly. I shall now try to deflect scorn from my blunder by mentioning that I'm in so much pain it's affecting my juggement. I broke my toe yesterday oh the pain oh pity meee.
In conclusion, SHUT UP LINDEN.
*Edited again because I'm verrah law-abiding. I'm leaving the Elena stuff in, even though it doesn't belong here, because I've been itching to talk smack about her for years.
