Kevin's Watch

I hope this is indeed a new topic and not unknowing rehashment. What would be way cool to see (read) in 3rd chronicles? How about Nom leading an army of Sandgorgons?

seeing foamy and Mhoram and Bannor .. all of Covenants dead and .. TC again too .. will just be too cool!

I also would like to see more of the 'earth' .. so another epic journey across the seas .. to see what we can see

so many things .. must return when I can pinpoint some other cool scenes .. I would like to see ..

Nom leading an army of Sandgorgons! How cool would that be! I would like to see a book strictly about the Giants or the Haruchai.

I started a thread about the Lands future. Thats what interests me. Like, for instance, the Haruchai's future, the new Revelstone Danlo referred to. And most of all, a Land w/out the Sunbane and w/out Lords... mmmmmm, I cant wait, where are those third chrons.?

now there's a question!!

Yes, the one were all asking

I would like to read about how the land is restored by the only people who know the truth abut the clave and the sunbane--the Haruchai, Sunder, and Hollian. I would LOVE to see how they will convince people of the new(old) ways to live.
also, How will Foul return to the Land and who(what) will he use to try to escape the AoT

Good God.. an army of Sandgorgons.. remembering how carried away i got when Nom came padding over the sea's.. would be too good to be true. It'd be too good to see TC's dead too yup, and the Giants would have to be in there.. but what of the Haruchai now, vow abandoned.. i guess we'd see more of how they lived before they pledged allegiance to Kevin ? Damit.. gotta get thru this Julian May stuff so i can read em again

I see a New Land. One with different forests and different features and different races/peoples. Not radically different, just different enough to be a good thing.

I enjoyed the way in which the second chronicles were a huge leap from the first, in terms of the time difference, the sunbane, etc, but still closely enough connected to the original Land. Now if only there can be as interesting a removal in the third chronicles!

I think a HUGe question in the 3rd series would be how much time has passed since the 2nd chronicles??

In real time there was something like 8 years gap between the chrons? I'm fuzzy on the details right now. During that wait, the Land time passed by 3000 odd years. So - what would the math work out to?

1 Year our world=375 The land

I remember 11 years between the two chrons, Dr. Berensford says something along these lines to Linden in the first chapter of TWL

Brinn of the Haruchai wrote:1 Year our world=375 The land

I never knew that. Thanks.

So we're looking at almost 7000 years then. In any environment, that has to mean a LOT of changes.

This is all to assume that SRD keeps to the same framework, of course. He may surprise us all!

My guess is that one day in the Real World is exactly one year in the Land. It matches all the data (which is only approximate anyway) and moreover is very neat and tidy.

wasn't there two/three weeks between TIW & TPTP, and seven years in the Land?

It was definitely seven "Land years" and about 2-4 weeks.

The actual number of years is never truly established, but 375 might not be too far off the mark. I was thinking that perthaps SRD used 365 as the base multiplier. That would be a very convenient number as that is the numbers in our year.
