Yes, i think its described like that, there are probabley other fruit references aswell.

Gunslinger is correct. Peach with a burst of salt and lime. Or something like that. I love this trivia thread. I hate that it doesn't get any more attention than it does. Part of it is my fault, I know. Ok, here's one for you. Where was Hile Troy when his Land-sight was taken from him? I mean physical location. Here's another. What is the name of the river that flows through the Elohim's domain? I'm on a roll! What is Hollian's mother's name? What are the names of the five Coursers that bore the company toward Revelstone? What was the name of the jaunty sea-craft that the Giant brothers were sailing when Cable Seadreamer received his injury? What is the name of the mother of the triplets that later became Ravers? What's the name of the concoction made from diamondraught and vitrim? What was it reluctantly used for? I have to stop now; I will be awake until tomorrow doing this. I'll be checking soon and want some questions to test my TC knowledge in return.

What are the names of the five Coursers that bore the company toward Revelstone?

I think there was only one that took Sunder and Hollian and Linden, while TC ran there?
Towards Coercri = Clash, Clangor etc?
Heh dont have the books so i cant check.

Pitchbrew was used as a weapon by Pitchwife, i think.

The Coursers were Din, Clash, Clangor, Annoy and one other I can't remember.
You do not hear, and so you cannot be redeemed.

In the name of their ancient pride and humiliation, they had made commitments with no possible outcome except bereavement.

You guys are awesome; can't get nothin' on you. The other Courser was Clang. Pitchwife's concoction was indeed pitchbrew, and he unfortunately had to use it to strike Grim flakes out of the air when the company entered Revelstone and were assailed by the Grim. Hollian's mother was Amith. This trivia thread is fun. Here's another one; one of Thomas Covenant's best seller books was mentioned to LA by Dr. Berenford. What was the name of the book?

Or I Will Sell My Soul For Guilt. In which he argues that guilt is power, and the innocent are powerless.

...And I can't believe there isn't a big discussion on that subject somewhere in here, considering the nature of Covenant and Linden's pasts. Anyone know if there's an old topic lying around?

Rocksister, please just ask one question at a time, that way you can assure yourself that the thread is getting adequate attention! ;)
What is the name of the river that flows through the Elohim's domain?
Callowwail.
What is Hollian's mother's name?
Amith.

Sorry, dlbpharmd, like I said, I need to get a life. They hit me all at once and I'm afraid I'll forget them later. It's the curse of age. That would be a good topic, the book Covenant wrote. It's so intimately intertwined with the whole series I can't believe we aren't discussing it. But anyway, you guys are truly sharp, and I shall endeavor not to drown you. So here's ONE, just ONE question. Oh, it's so HARD to do just one....... Who was Covenant's son named after?

Ah, I leave for a while and this thread magically revives... Coincidence?

In the absence of a question I will pose one...

Who was Staff Elder of the Loresraat during the Illearth War?

Asuraka.

Who was the Sword Elder of the Loresraat during the same period, and how many Lords did he or she train?

Grrr i cant rmember his name.

Is it Drinshok, or something similar?


He would have trained All the Lord at the Time of TIW and some from the time of LFb so im guessing 9?

Roger, I believe. Joan named her son after him (without asking Tom - just announcing it to him).
And then the ravens pecked out his eyes.

Okay, I'm really pushing it here, but I know I'm not the only person here who has read the TC books more than ten times, so this will be a piece of cake. The little girl who was bitten by the snake; Why was she in that area of the woods alone?
