Vain
I can't understand something. In the Second Chrons, Vain gets the heels of the staff of law from Revelstone, and puts them on his wrist and ankle. At this point I'm putting 2 and 2 together and guessing, hey Vain might be the new staff of law. Then, at the One tree, one arm turns to wood (the arm with the heel). Now I'm sure that Vain will be the new staff. Why can't Covenant or Linden make this assuption, or even think of it as a possibility.
It would spoil the story? I had a vague idea but i remember never knowing for sure.

But if you're all about the destination, then take a fucking flight.
We're going nowhere slowly, but we're seeing all the sights.
And we're definitely going to hell, but we'll have all the best stories to tell.
Full of the heavens and time.

It did not occur to me at all...until me aunty told me.
But anyhow, maybe they had other things to think of, I mean, alot of the time Vain just faded into the background.

i assumed that vain would have something to do with the staff of law but was not sure since everytime i tried to guess what would happen next donaldson would pull something unexpected. i've pretty much given up on trying to figure out any future plots or the way the story will go, donaldson is just to unpredictable for me(which is why i love his books).

Hey, Scooby, you're pretty intuitive. I did NOT put 2 + 2 together and figure out Vain's purpose with the heels of the SOL. My assumption was that he, up to this point, had proven himself pretty hard to kill/destroy/stop, whatever, so he had put on the heels to safeguard them until they fulfilled their pre-determined purpose, for which he had been solely created. I, too, was surpised by the real reason, but it was one of the many "wow" moments I felt while reading TCoTC books, and every time I re-read them. I'm anxiously (and somewhat impatiently) awaiting FR's release so I can "wow" some more.
Heard my ears aright? Did not the gaddhi grant me this glaive?
