Oh dear, oh dear, Could you please put Sexy Barbie back in the cupboard.
From LFB, describing the members of Quaan's Eoman:
BTW - the yellow metal of the breastplates is curious, it appears to be the only use of metals by the Lords, everything else was either wood or stone.[/quote]
From LFB, describing the members of Quaan's Eoman:
It is further noted that Quaan, as a Warhaft, had a black diagonal line across his breastplate. And later noted that Warmark Garth had a double black diagonal across his breastplate. So it seems the rank insignia too the form of diagonals across the breastplate.The riders looked like warriors. They wore high soft-soled boots over black leggings, black sleeveless shirts covered by breastplates moulded of a yellow metal, and yellow headbands. A short sword swung from each belt, a bow and a quiver of arrows from each back...

Yes, I can see some improvement, but I still cant see the yellow headband or the bow and quiver, or the belt from which the short sword hung. You call that a short sword? How much would that thing weigh?
And, to be honest, the breastplate looks to me more like a thin modern life-jacket/life preserver, or even like a kevlar bullet-proof vest, not something made of metal.

Also, the heels of the Staff of Law. Not sure about the other staffs...hyarmion wrote:BTW - the yellow metal of the breastplates is curious, it appears to be the only use of metals by the Lords, everything else was either wood or stone.

The people of the Land used metal. They just didn't use it where stone or wood would do.
They had swords, for example.
During the battle of Soaring Woodhelven, they came across "a heavy iron plate nearly ten feet across".
The Second Ward was contained in "a small iron chest".
etc.
Also, it was said of the times before Berek that "the Cavewights smithed and smelted beautiful metals to trade in open friendship with all the people of the Land".

Yes, they had swords, but I dont think they were made of metal were they? I think they are described as being wood or stone.The people of the Land used metal. They just didn't use it where stone or wood would do.
They had swords, for example.
Which was thought to have been carried by Cavewights from Mt. Thunder. Not made by the people/Lords of the Land.During the battle of Soaring Woodhelven, they came across "a heavy iron plate nearly ten feet across".
Good point, and yes, the Lords' staffs were shod with iron.The Second Ward was contained in "a small iron chest".
True, but again, not a work of the people/Lords of the LandAlso, it was said of the times before Berek that "the Cavewights smithed and smelted beautiful metals to trade in open friendship with all the people of the Land".

Yes, they used it for cover as they got close enough to light the tree on fire
Linden should have quailed. His certainty was as bitter as the touch of a Raver: it should have defeated her. But it did not. How often had she heard Lord Foul or his servants prophesy destruction, attempting to impose despair? And how often had Thomas Covenant shown her that it was possible to stand upright under the weight of utter hopelessness?

Does anybody else believe that the new lords would have been able to smelt metal with the heat form lomilar and gravelling?
Surly the heat required would have destroyed the wood and rock, not to mention that the process would have destroyed the ore itself, in dirrect contravention of the oath of peace.
Sure they destroyed orcrest, (Trell and Atiaran's 'wedding'), but that was in emergency, I don't see war falling into the category of 'emergancy.'

If we all follow Berek's code of warriors then the world would be full of the worst warriors imaginable.
