Thou ages-Keeper, mountain-reign.

Meant to be big whale, not bif whale ... cause it kind of looks like a great whale rising out of the water. Mind you, also looks a bit like the prow of a ship, and, well, I reckon its getting VERY close the reality. Thanks for the explanation about the front formation being solely the watchtower. Revelstone is HUGE!The Somberlain wrote:And since I don't know what a bif whale is.... I'll take it as a compliment. If you were even referring to mine.
Aah Fist, one of my all-time favourite passages.For a moment, Covenant could not respond. But then a memory came back to him - a recollection of the formal salutation that the people of Revelstone had formerly given to the Giants. Hail and welcome, inheritor of Land's loyalty. Welcome whole or hurt, in boon or bane - ask or give. To any requiring name we will not fail. In a husky voice, he breathed:
"Giant-troth Revelstone, ancient ward-
Heart and door of Earthfriend's main:
Preserve the true with Power's sword,
Thou ages-Keeper, mountain-reign."
At that, the First turned toward him; and for an instant her face was concentrated with weeping as if he had touched her deep Giantish love of stone. Almost immediately she recovered her sternness - but not before he had seen how absolutely she was ready now to serve him. Gruffly, she said, "Thomas Covenant, I have titled you Giantfriend, but it is not enough. You are the Earthfriend. No other name suffices."
I want to see that soooo bad...In the Gradual Interview was wrote:in all these years I've only seen one painting that made me feel the way the Land feels in my imagination (it was a rendition of Revelstone for the still-entirely-hypothetical film of "Lord Foul's Bane"), and I don't even know who painted it.
