His son was Nelbrin, but I can't remember his first wife's name. :?

You do not hear, and so you cannot be redeemed.

In the name of their ancient pride and humiliation, they had made commitments with no possible outcome except bereavement.

He knew only that they had never striven to reject the boundaries of themselves.

YEAH!!! Good job Variol Son!! Nelbrin is the correct answer! :letsparty:

Sunder's first wife's name was Aimil daughter of Anest.

OK, who will be next to ask a question? :P

It is from Lord Foul's Bane - Kiril Threndor, the confrontation with Drool Rockworm.

Am I right? <hopeful>

If not, my second guess is Earthrootstair under Melenkurion Skyweir when High Lord Elena raised the power of the Staff of Law to light up the chamber.

<fingers crossed!>

WOW... OK, let me try again!

How about The Wounded Land - the soothtell of the Clave in Revelstone, after Covenant called up the white gold power against the na-Mhoram.

OR...

Kiril Threndor again... WGW.. confrontation with Lord Foul after he claimed the ring and was calling up power to attack the Arch of Time.

How did I do?? <hopeful>

Damn... I am really crapping out on this one!

Let's see... WGW... Description of sacred enclosure when Covenant when he walked into the Banefire after his confrontation with Gibbon na-Mhoram?

OR...

WGW... Description of the forehall filling up with the na-Mhoram's grim during the invasion of Revelstone.

How did I do?? <grinning hopefully>

Oh can i have a go, i just found this forum, been away for a while. Great game though. Since i've read your hints i'll have a stab at the hall of gifts (i think it was called that in the first chron's) when covenant and honniscrave (plus nom i think, yes definitely nom) contrive to kill one of the ravers, cant remeber which one though. Wow this forum really brightened my morning up :D :D Did i get it???

I don't know if you understood what scene i was talking about Danlo. I was talking about the fight between the Quest and gibbon-raver in revelstone (white Gold Wielder) where nom rends the spirit of one of the ravers. However if you did know what i was referring to then you must be giving me a hint that you are actually talking about "Runes", and therefore i'll take a stab at this: Does it occur when Linden is entering the cave of the waynim to retrieve the staff of law. Come on Thats gotta be it????? :? :?

Yeah you got yours in 3 minutes before me, although now i think we may be talking about different caves. BUt i think yours is probably the right answer. Well Danlo where are you? Put us out of our misery.
