Actually drew, both Covenant saw both Morin and Birinair die, but not one of the other three.

And I don't think you should get to post your own until you actually guess mine! :x

Okay, okay, I must not be remembering something correctly.
Lena was killed by Pietten in front of Cov.
Triock died when TC destroyed the SOL
And ..well everyone knows when SF died :(
-the if it's not Briniar or murrin-I don't know who... :?

You're right, Covenant saw Lena and Triock die. He also saw Morin die when Dead Kevin killed him in Earthroot. And he saw Birinair die in the catacombs under Mount Thunder.

Which leaves who and why? ;)

FOAMFOLLWER?
He died in Foul's Creche when Cov tore down the walls, and blew up the Illearth stone...okay, maybe he didn't SEE him die---but you're getting me on a technicallity. :D
Try mine out-it's fun and not so cruel!

It wasn't cruel at all. And yes, it is Foamfollower, the only one that Covenant never saw die. I thought that including Birinair and Morin made it kinda obvious. But anyway.

Troy
Dukka
Nom
Foul
Linden

Nom was the only one who couldn't see?

I added Troy, and Dukka to eliminate that answer though.

Nom is the only one of his kind that we meet? Assuming that Foul and the Creator are kindred.

well..that's not what I was thinking, I wouldn't say that the creator and Foul are the same-at least not while Foul is imprissoned...try looking in a glossary section of the books under each person-that should give you the answer I'm looking for.

Troy - becomes a forestal
Dukka - became this "victim"
Nom - no change?
Foul - became despite incarnate when cast down in the land (was more like the creator)
Linden - became "the Chosen" and many other things as well...

so Nom never changed?

Well close enough...Nom was the only one who always kept the same name, is what I was thinking,

Hmmmm... I am new to this game, will try my hand at it anyway! My guess is "RUE" because she was Winhome Gay at the time she met Saltheart Foamfollower, and she was the only person out of the list never to travel with the Giant.

How did I do? :?

very very close - you do have the correct person but for a BIG DIFFERENT REASON...
"you can prevail" and do this....

How is Rue different...hmmm there's a few choices, I'm sure you're not just picking her because she's a Ramen....but she's the only one who doesn't die in the books, was that it?

Drew, they speak of her dying & we don't see her death, but that is not the reason exactly - think of when we see these characters....
I hope I am not giving this away....

Okay..once again..
All were in LFB
SHE was in TIW with Triock
She was not in TPTP, but the rest were.
-She's about the same age as Lena and Triock...

Wow that was fun - you pretty much got this one now Drew:
Saltheart Foamfallower
Lena
Pietten
Triock
ALL THESE WERE IN LFB BUT NOT IN TIW THEY ALL RETURNED IN PTP MOST DIED IN PTP TOO...

Rue - SHE WAS IN LFB AS GAY BUT DIED BEFORE PTP - SHE WAS THE ONLY ONE IN TIW.

I THINK IT'S YOUR TURN....!!!
