Kevin's Watch

Personally I don´t like Jeroth, it sounds too simular to Jareth (David Bowie in Labyrinth) and I can´t stop thinking of his terrible pants/long johns...

Lord Oluf

LOL!

What pants? ...These pants?

ACK!

Red Sea is a typo?

The way I hear it... the original name for it was Yam ha'Suf. The Reed (like a stalk) Sea.

Ahh Reed turned into Red, huh? That's cool trivia!

no, cool trivia would be learning that Christopher Columbus ate babies...or that SRD is a vampire, the original name of the red sea really doesn't mean too much to me, hehe

I heard that he was called Smelly Cat.

Kevin: Will you join me, as a lord on my council

LF: yes, ok (my plan is working)

kevin: Great! what is your name?

LF: I'm Foul, and thanks to you, "Lord" Foul

Kevin: Foul huh? Nice to meet you. Do you like chips?

LF: No! I despise chips. (when the time comes, I will smite this fool)

Kevin: Despise? Then I hearby dub you "Lord Foul the Despiser"

.....and the rest is history....

That would of course make him Lord Lord if he ever became one.

Foul may well have been his last name, and Jeroth his first. But, the lords were always called by their first names only while they were alive; the last names were never used until they were dead. Notice nobody called Kevin "Lord Landwaster" until after he died. But Foul never died. He was defeated by Covenant, and some time after that, the name Jeroth surfaced. Therefore, his first name must have been Foul, and his last name was Jeroth. How's that for convoluted logic?

Or perhaps Jeroth is a translation of his original surname 'Jepanz'.

Hence the full name of "Foul Jepanz"

Not to be confused with Foul Jareth, see page 3...

that's gross LW!

"Landwaster" wasn't a last name, it was a title..along with Urvilesilencer, Giantfriend, Lord-Fatherer. Not sure about Berek's Heartthew tho. That could have possibly been a last name. Or it could have been a title meaning "true of heart".

I don't think the Lords or anyone in the Land besides the Giants had last names. They had titles like Trell "Atarian-Mate" to siginify that they were married. Or Mhoram Variol-son to siginify desecendants.

I still go with the theory that Foul went by Jeroth in the early days.

In my mind the "serious" discussion of this topic ended when the name "Jeroth" was identified as the only alias that has been mentioned in any of the books for Lord Foul. If however SRD steps forward and reveals something new, all bets are off. As to Jepanz...

Well the rest of his names are all descriptions, Jeroth is the only one that isn't.

Corruption.
Soulcrusher.
Maker.
Despiser.

and even Jeroth was "of the seven hells" as I already spake.

Weeeeell...he couldn't really, feasibly have been called Landwaster until after he wasted the Land I suspect all the surnames were titles of a sort, as was the case in reality, centuries ago.

True, just as Jeroth wasn't given the title of Foul until he started raising chickens!
