Kevin's Watch

Here are a few:

1. (easy) What is the Word that will Command Vain, but only Once?

2. Where was TC at when he used the Word to Command Vain ?

3. (hard) What was the name of the elohim that had green eyes?

4. (easy ) What event sent Saltheart Foamfollower on his journey to Revelstone when he met Atarian and Covenant?

5. Because of the event, what boon did Saltheart hope to ask of the Lords? Why?

6. What is the name of that hangy-down thing found in the back of our throats?

6: The Old Lords knew it as Kurash Palatar; to the Demondim-spawn, who use it as an organ of navigation in their unseen eyelessness, it is ghrakhptui; but the Giants call it Hawkspitsgreeter.

The Despiser hasn't got one, which is why he's so very grouchy.

! thats awesome variol!!!!!!!!!!!!

It was when the search finally came back to the Land (WGW), and after the fight with the Arguleh where the unfettered was killed. Sunder related that the last village they attempted was completely deserted. I know it was close to Lands Drop, but can't remember the name.

Nope, way off.

1 - Nekrimah

2 - Stonemight Woodhelvin

3 - Daphin (I think - I did start a thread about eyes with a quote about the Sun of Fertility being the colour of her eyes once)

4 - The waning of the Giants was reversed when three male children - three brothers of one birth - were born to Wavenhair Haleall, wife of Sparlimn Keelsetter

5 - Gildenlode keels and rudders for the Giantships, as Kevin Landwaster had promised the Giants when the prophecy of Damelon Giantfriend (that the renewal of their seed would mark an end to exile for the Unhomed) was fulfilled.

6 - I call mine barry, but I think his real name is epiglotis.

Awesome 6 for 6.

I remember the passage about the fertil sun being the color of Daphins eyes, and wondering 'who is daphin?" then having to go back. that is why I remembered it.

did you get these off the top of head? danged impressive!

We still have this question unanswered:

What was the name of the stondown, near the joining of the Mithil and Black Rivers, which was destroyed by a pack of kresh?

Heh illl try to think of a clue, that wont make it too easy, if noone gets it soon.

is it crystal stonedown?

The one I was speaking of was landsverge, which is obviously wrong. Crystal stonedown came to me this afternoon, but I confess I do not remember where it came from. This event, therefore either lies in the first chrons, oir runes, and I don't think it lies in the first chrons, so runes it must be. I am getting old, at any rate, this is a great question, Warmark!!!

It is not Crystal Stonedown.

I know where the answer can be found, but I'm not cheating.

I tried last night to find it, but I concede. Really awesome question!!!! I thought I was a master of TC trivia, but have been humbled...

Woot!
I'm the Master!

Anyway, you want me to tell you the answer then?

Yes, Please.

Why thank you.

And Warmark, I believe the answer is Gleam Stonedown.

I thought I said Gleam Stonedown, then I went back and realized I had written something else...

Where is that in the chronicles? About Gleam Stonedown, I mean...

Somewhere in The Wounded Land - it's pretty brief. I think Sunder mentions it when he talks about how dangerous the Land is or something.

thanks. what a great question, WarMark!!!!!
