Arichamus Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 SO, greetings all, I be new, and have concocted a brilliant hypothesis as to how the Sword of Truth series could save its marbles! It goes as follows: After totally whaling on the Last Evildoers, 'ole Richiekins decides to have a tour of his new empire, putting the SoT in a small box until his return, [i]however[/i], as the weapons magic leaves his mind, he slowly realizes to ghastly truth of what he has been doing.He has been working for the SoT's whim, all along! consider how this can be supported, the SoT carries the memories of all the Seekers before Richard, all their knowledge, everything.Yet all it gives is what Richard needs to save his own life.Also, it is fueled by rage, and is never satisfied by the killings Richard commits.My theory is this, that the SoT is semi-sapient, and slowly infuses its wielder with its desire for death, brutality, and horror, slowly removing anything resembling the Seeker's personality previous to the wielding.It suffuses the bearers mind with a terrible wrath, and turns them into mouthpieces for itself.Remember how all the Seeker Spirits spoke, with none countermanding another? that would be Richards fate, if he hadn't put it away, even for a time as short as he would here.Also, he comes to realize what utter monsters are about him, seeing Kahlan's monstrous cruelty, Zedd's spite and so on, even finding that his empire is a ghastly place ruled by pride, wrath and greed.Horrified, he decides to end this abomination, calls his companions together, and slays them.Grievously hurt in the battle, he takes out the blade, discovering that all Seekers had to power to destroy the weapon, in case it got uppity.Incinerating it, he collapses, and is sent to the Creator's seat for judgment. Sort of trite, I know, and rather anti-climatic, and never to be done in twelve thousand years, but...yeah, what do ye think, sirs, madmes?

Black Wizard Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 I just saw one of Terry Goodkind's books advertised in one of those Amazon ad's at the side of this site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moosicus Posted May 12, 2008 Share Posted May 12, 2008 I've seen the Tairy ad a few times. Right now I'm seeing something called Sinderella which sadly, despite the name, doesn't seem to be porn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Shining Enigma Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 [font="Book Antiqua"][size=3]That noble pioneer of truth, Mr. Goodkind, never fails to inspire me in whatever way; he carries his art, as we can perceive, with a startling conviction, and always succeeds in administering it in some sense, for his usual everyday life. A life that must be golden, truly. [/size][/font] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moosicus Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 I must ask for a definition of "pioneer of truth". It's set off my bullshit detector in a profound way. Though that seems to happen every time the Shining Enema drops by. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can Enigma be allowed to choose all of the titles from now on? ETA [quote]Full disclosure: I have never asked for, nor claimed to be, a Lemming. That being said, I approve of this title. Well done. I particularly like "startling conviction."[/quote] And Triskele has my permission to claim to be a Lemming--albeit one of a slightly simian nature.

Looking at Prophets Inc and everything, I'm scared for the word 'truth'. Still trying to make sense of what happened though. Personally I'm still waiting for someone to get a Sword of Truth tattoo only to find a cease-and-desist order in the mail over infringement. Hmm...thread title....
