I'm just going to go down the list of characters that appear in the first two chronicles. I'm bound to stumble across the answer.

Nope/nope!

Nertz. That pretty much just leaves the Ravers and all of Covenant's dead in Andelain. Of course I may be missing something.
This might take a while.
Mhoram?

Bannor?

No, but the character who says this one-question to TC is a Haruchai.StevieG wrote:Bannor?

Well now I'm stumped. The only Haruchai character I can think of from the First Chrons that appears in the Second is Bannor as one of Covenant's dead.Cord Hurn wrote:No, but the character who says this one-question to TC is a Haruchai.StevieG wrote:Bannor?
Back to the books.

But it could be a Haruchai from either the 1st or the 2nd Chronicles, right?
So I'm going to continue with my wild guesses
Cail?

Correct, StevieG, it can be someone from either the First Chronicles or the Second Chronicles.StevieG wrote:But it could be a Haruchai from either the 1st or the 2nd Chronicles, right?
Nope, it's not Cail.Damelon wrote:Guess who said that. The quotes must come from the First or Second Chronicles.

Let's clarify: only one character in the Covenant books, a Haruchai, has said this: "True?" It can be a character from either the First Chronicles or the Second Chronicles. And the question was directed at Thomas Covenant.

Good to have clarification but there is still only a very limited sample of Haruchai characters that are present in both trilogies. In truth I have only thought of one so, like all great mysteries, this is a challenge.

It doesn't have to be a Haruchai character that appears in both trilogies. It could be a Haruchai character that only appears in the First Chronicles, or a Haruchai only appears in the Second Chronicles. What I was trying to say is that only once does a character ask, "True?".aTOMiC wrote:Good to have clarification but there is still only a very limited sample of Haruchai characters that are present in both trilogies.

Here's the confusion. Your first post implies, but does not implicitly state that, "there is only one" means that the character in question is the same in both chronicles and this second post narrows it down to a Haruchai.
You can see where this might send one off on the wrong path.

Tuvor?

Excellent, StevieG! That is the answer!StevieG wrote:Tuvor?
It's your quote, sir!In [i]Lord Foul's Bane[/i] Chapter 23 was wrote: Tuvor shuddered; his eyes opened. Covenant looked away from Prothall. Tuvor's lips moved, but he made no sound.
Mhoram tried to comfort him. "Have no fear. This evil will be overcome--it is in the High Lord's hands. And your name will be remembered with honor wherever trust is valued."
But Tuvor's eyes held Covenant, and he managed to whisper one word, "True?" His whole body strained with supplication, but Covenant did not know whether he asked for a promise or a judgment.
Yet the Unbeliever answered. He could not refuse a Bloodguard, could not deny the appeal of such expensive fidelity. The word stuck in his throat, but he forced it out. "Yes."
Tuvor shuddered again, and died with a flat groan as if the cord of his Vow had snapped. Covenant gripped his shoulders, shook him; there was no response.

Congrats StevieG.

Thanks - it was a complete guess. Good to get the context though!

That's sounds like Prothal in LFB.

Correct aTOMiC! That was an easy one!aTOMiC wrote:That's sounds like Prothal in LFB.
Over to you aTOMiC!In LFB SRD wrote:The next morning, the sun came up like a wound into ashen skies. Grey clouds overhung the earth, and a shuddering wind fell like a groan from the slopes of Mound Thunder. Across the wasteland, the pools of rainwater began to stagnate, as if the ground refused to drink the moisture, leaving it to rot instead. And as they prepared to ride, the Questers heard a low rumble like the march of drums deep in the rock. They could feel the throb in their feet, in their knee joints.
It was the beat of mustering war.
The High Lord answereed as if it were a challenge: "Melenkurion!" he called clearly. "Arise, champions of the Land! I hear the drums of the Earth! This is the great work of our time!" He swing on to his horse with his blue robe fluttering.
Warhaft Quaan responded with a cheer, "Hail, High Lord Prothall! We are proud to follow!"
