What are the Top Ten Covenant FAQ?

Post by kevinswatch »

I don't think we've done this before, but the ur- topic got me thinking. It might be fun to try to pull together as a group the most asked questions involving the Chronicles. Any ideas?-jay

Has anyone noticed that "Anele" is "Elena" backwards?

Good idea.

Is the beggar the Creator?
What's the answer to the fundamental question of ethics?
Why did Linden need the Staff in Runes (just kidding)
Why doesn't Foul just take the Ring?
Why two creation myths?
What's up with TC's bargain in LFB?
Was the Ritual so bad?
Why did the unhomed let themselves be destroyed?
What is the meaning of Elena's sculpture?
Why is paradox so important?
Why does TC have trouble using the Ring?

(I'm trying to think of general questions, not so much questions which have appeared here.)

I think we are over 10. ;)

Maybe we need to create a list and vote. :)

Well, it doesn't have to be exactly 10. But it would be good to keep only the best ones. The stuff that people really do ask a lot.

Then we can build a TC FAQ. I'm thinking sort of like this large, expansive Wheel of Time FAQ I remember reading a while ago:

www.siliconcerebrate.com/faqs/wotfaq/0_ ... intro.html

(Now, it doesn't have to be as large as this... We can start small.)

Reading Beyondthebreach's post in another thread reminded me of another often asked question: why does Kevin have a common-sounding name from "our" world ? :)

QFT. Hell, even the only other character in the First Chronicles in the Land that's from our world had a funny name.

he he, you can send me yer fan ficcies if you want...

I don't hear too many questions about the Elena/Anele thing..

More 'how can you read this, it's so depressing.' 'Why did Atarian help Covenant after what he did to Elena?' 'Are Stonedownors made from Stone and Woodhelvinnin people made from Wood?
