Kevin's Watch

There are so many things I really want to see!

Berek at Mount Thunder encountering the Earthpower

not to mention all of those questions about Berek and the Queen...

the making of the Staff of Law

Damelon greeting the Giants

the making of Revelstone

Loric, his war, his krill

Kevin making and hiding his wards

the haruchai coming to Revelstone and meeting Kevin

the ROD

the origin of the Ravers

the first appearance of the forestals

the growing of Revelwood

the forming of the Clave

the coming of the Sunbane

the sacrifice of the Father of Horses

what do you want to see?

In my script, I had to write from my imagination, what went on while Foul was a Lord besides Kevin "standing at his right hand". Mainly because I just can't have Covenant just laying there listening to a disembodied voice for five minutes.
Taking a cue from the beginning of FOTR where the history of Sauron and the ring and the battles and all that I've managed to write in what I HOPE to be an close approximation of Kevin's "friendship" with Foul the betrayal and Kevin high up on the watch with foul again at his side but laughing and Kevin challenging him to the RoD....
Am hoping that my assessment is correct and that it will be close or near enough to whatever SRD reveals in the Third Chrons. Gonna be interesting to be sure.

Foul as a Lord, Kevin making the Wards, the war, The Ritual. Great stuff!!! And, of course, there would definitely be more background given on the Haruchai!!!

I hope you people (etc) get to read about the One Forest and the Forestaal, so you'll finally believe what I've been telling you all along.

I definitely want to see Berek!! It would be SOO helpful to learn as much as we can about exactly what the Earthpower actually said to him!! And to see Berek make this Staff of Law!!

Actually, it would be incredible to see Berek and ak-Haru Kenaustin Ardenol together.

I don't think we're going to see Berek or the Old Lords or any of that stuff. Didn't SRD say he was going back to the ancient past, before the Lords? Besides, I think SRD said in an interview that he was against prequels--that everything about the Old Lords, Berek, the past, etc. was only there to serve and strengthen Covenant's story.

"We will go back before the Lords, back before the Old Lords, the whole history of the Land will become relevant to the present."

I assumed that the whole "before the old lords" part was in addition to "during the old lords" since he did say that " the whole history of the Land will become relevant to the present"

but I'd really like to see Kevin and what drove him to the depths of despair that allowed him to invoke the RoD. He seems to me to be the most interesting character in the land's history, and perhaps the most Covenant-like.

All of the above. I would love to find out how Foul got into the council. What his name was, what he looked like, how he did it. I would love to read Kevin's head and how he came into his despair and ultimately thought he had no choice in invoking the RoD.

I would also love to read about the King and Queen, and how Berek became the Queen's champion, the maiming of his hand, his talk with the Earthpower...which we get a little of in LFB when Atarian sings "The Legend of Berek Halfhand"...The call of the Fire Lions. You know, the parrellels between Berek and Covenant are astounding. Both halfhanded--the obvious one there--but look at their titles. Both become "Earthfriend", both are "lords" Berek, Lord-Fatherer, Covenant "ur-Lord". They both seek to create a Staff of Law, tho it was only Covenant's ring that aided that. And they both defeat Foul. I think there is something to this. With the corruption of Time, maybe the two of them will actually meet or maybe, and this has been mention several times, maybe Covenant was actually Berek. Or becomes Berek.

Playing with Time is a tricky thing. It boggles my mind to think of the endless possibilities the manipulation of Time can conjur up. I think we are going to get a history of the Land, but I don't think it's going to be "correct" history. We're going to know it's wrong, but the people of the Land aren't, because the "real" history will be unfolding wrong.

That statement...

"We will go back before the Lords, back before the Old Lords, the whole history of the Land will become relevant to the present."

It has me thinking about something. We know that Foul is going to sink into Time itself and corrupt it. What if he goes so far back in Time, that he actually corrupts the Arch itself at the time of it's making. And Covenant now is the Keystone of that Arch, the wild magic that holds it together. SRD said that "Covenant becomes Foul" in the Last Chrons. Could he mean in this way?? And if that's true, will it be Linden to try to seperate the two and destroy the Arch and the Land in the process? And what happens then? Will it be just the "corrupted" Arch that's destroyed and the correct timeline restored? Or will Time itself be utterly eradicated and nothing will remain but an abyss of nothingness?

hmmmmmmm...I don't know. I'm rambling again, it is rather early in the morning.

I just wish he would hurry up!! This waiting is driving me MAD! I'm going to start raving soon!!

this poll is unfair... i want to vote on every option! including "i would read the phonebook if donaldson wrote it" because i would...

but i gotta vote for the forestals, understandably...

while thinking about it... the 2nd crons, TC was really just a guide for LA... i mean, what did he actually do that really mattered in the end? not much...

what?!?!?! what did he do????????????????????????????????????????

well think about it... he may have donemany things, but in the end it doesn't really matter...

*sputters*

The caamora didn't matter?? His sacrifice to Foul didn't matter???

*Is too riled to continue....*

Just a guide indeed!!!

ok ok... not just a guide then.... a guide with some defining moments...

Yeah, among them stopping Foul from breaking the Arch of Time and making him powerless!!

Sheesh, how crazy are you? You got me and Fire on the same side!!

That is a somewhat unusual occurrence.

And I love your new sig, Fist.

I just wanna see the Land destroyed, since SRD promised it would be. I like that he's doing something unexpected like that. It's really the only way to get rid of Foul.

my plan worked! mwahahaha!!!!

nah seriously... foul's gunna screw up time and blow up the land neway, so in the end it really doesn't matter

I hope SRD changes his mind and doesn't destory he land just to thwart Forestal! (but I know how badly that would upset Lord Foul) All he has to do is pave Andelian and put up a McDonalds in every Stonedown/Stonemight--that oughta do it...but that's not something I'd ever want to see...

Some1 mentioned seeing Foul standing at the right hand of Kevin, I'd like to see how he did that too. I've been scanning TWL for the next "Dissection" and found it interesting (as I'm sure I've seen it, but not really noted it, 100 times b4...) that Foul was a Lord's term that simply means: Enemy of the Land. What would REALLY be ironic is we find out that his name, as a Lord, was Gibbon!
