booksellers.penguin.com/static/pdf/putnam-fall13.pdfAfter thirty-five years, having attained bestseller status all over the world, The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant reaches its conclusion. A truly historic moment in fantasy, as Stephen R. Donaldson’s innumerable fans learn the final fate of the Land.
The Worm of the World’s End is roused, seeking the ruin of all things...
Compelled step by step to actions whose consequences they could neither see nor prevent, Thomas Covenant and Linden Avery have fought for what they love in the magical reality known only as "the Land." Now they face their final crisis. Reunited after their separate struggles, they discover in each other their true power - and yet they cannot imagine how to stop the Worm of the World’s End from unmaking Time. Nevertheless they must resist the ruin of all things, giving their last strength in the service of the world's continuance.

It does sound quite Stave-like...dlbpharmd wrote:Can someone identify the source of this quote? It sounds like Stave.“You risk much, as you have ever done. Mayhap you will prevail. If you do not, your worth is not thereby diminished.”
Lots of Har. have talked like that, though...
And so have some Giants, and some of the Dead, and Lords...
It almost has to belong to someone/thing that knows much of the past...
[I favor Stave most, some other Har. second]
We also can't tell who it is addressed to.
It could be TC or Linden. [highly unlikely it could be anyone else at this point]

the difference between evidence and sources: whether they come from the horse's mouth or a horse's ass.
"Most people are other people. Their thoughts are someone else's opinions, their lives a mimicry, their passions a quotation."
the hyperbole is a beauty...for we are then allowed to say a little more than the truth...and language is more efficient when it goes beyond reality than when it stops short of it.

Quite possibly Stave... for any other Haruchai failing to prevail would be a diminishment.

I cannot find this.“You risk much, as you have ever done. Mayhap you will prevail. If you do not, your worth is not thereby diminished.”
Here is what I can find:
Thus spoke Stave.In [i]The Last Dark[/i], Part Two, Chapter 10, 'All Lost Women' was wrote:"I must state plainly, Linden, that you have become wondrous in my sight. Here my life is forfeit. It may be that the bane will heed you. Me She will not suffer. In Her sight, all men are betrayers. I will be devoured."
[...] "As farewell," her final companion told her, "I must say aloud that I regret nothing. My fears are gone. You risk much, as you have ever done. Whatever now ensues, know that I am made proud by my place at your side."
