Question

You can see my full post here: kevinswatch.ihugny.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?p=753139#753139 but the gist of it is basically, do you think Thomas has a photographic memory? I can't remember what I did yesterday, let alone deliver a message to the Lords.

I don't think it was a matter of Covenant's memory. Foul wanted that message delivered, word-for-word, so he made it so Covenant would deliver it correctly.

Fair point. Not having a good memory myself, I'd forgotten that particular passage!
