I agree with Dirk. I was under the impression that Hrothgar had Grendel killed because he didn’t want word getting out that Grendel was his son.
Who said anything about Angelina Jolie? You get a Viking drunk enough, he’d dip his wick in anything.:-s
I’m so glad I joined this forum. I never would’ve learned all these details about what really happened on Middle Earth or any of these other worlds if I hadn’t found this book series.
That’s my thoughts as well. Something tells me that when the truth does come out, it’ll be awkward for everyone. And I get where Tom’s coming from, I do. I don’t put much stock in destiny and prophecy myself. But how long can you deny everything in front of you and play it off as a bunch of random coincidences? Once is an accident, twice a coincidence, but thrice? And Tom’s acted and thought the same way that Orcus would have way more than three times.
As for what Tom’s attracted to, it’s probably a case of ‘body influencing the mind’. Like how Tom sees Edwyrd as too pale and weak, or Edwyrd wanting to wear clothes when Tom doesn’t feel the need. It takes effort to change forms and keep the changes, so you would need to immerse yourself into that form completely, body and mind. By allowing the instincts of the race you’re imitating to guide your thoughts, it becomes easier to keep the imitation up. It might be why Tom’s having so much trouble adapting to the orc form. Rupert, on the other hand, is much more used to this due to the desperation of survival as Antefalkan said, and can easily take a form that he’d never even seen until all this insanity in Astlan started.
By the way, after thinking about it, I really wasn’t too shocked that Tizzy’s misplaced book was the cause of all of this. I mean, Tizzy being the source of any kind of insanity shouldn’t surprise anyone.
Something tells me that problem lies more with her than it does him. I mean, look what she did to Pheastus! Not being able to keep it in his pants isn’t near as bad as whatever crazy she’s got going on.
If Tizzy says he’s not the Concordenax, then I think we should believe him.o:) Who are we to argue with the god of demons, after all.:d/
[quote=Tizzy;6659]I think that would logically work in the Fantasy forum, there is a topic on recommendations there, another topic on what makes a good fantasy novel would work.
Of course, I really don’t know what you mean by a “a good fantasy book”
As I see it, you need to take worlds as you find them, and then write the non-fiction narratives of the events in that world as you observe them.
You sort of have to describe it as it is, the author can be at fault for not being able to suitably describe the events that happened, but you can hardly blame an author for the laws of physics, or lack there of, in a particular localverse or the events themselves nor their lameness.
Now true, the author might misrepresent them, but ultimately authors are just describing what they find in those worlds.
That’s what T-A-G is doing. His faults are all about narrative structure, omissions of facts (now that’s a serious issue for T-A-G, he is often misrepresenting my actions) etc.[/quote]
Speaking of which. Was Tolkien approached by someone who witnessed the events of Middle Earth? Or was he someone who could perform astral projection and he interviewed them, transcribing the tales the way that I do with my astramastery?
Interesting. By the way, you wouldn’t happen to know what the 21st animagic discipline is, Tizzy? I’m a novice animage, and whenever I bring it up with my teacher, he goes on a rant about how it doesn’t exist. Think you could help me out? I’d owe you.
Antilles? Right!…Abyss, I’m going to have to wait for TAG to release that. I don’t have any contacts there, and astral projection across the multiverse without an anchor is the definition of stupidity.
I’m new around here, so first, hi. We’ve established that Tom wasn’t religious, but is it possible that Singkun did the whole reincarnation thing for Orcus without him knowing about it? I do support the theory that Orcus has spent the last 4000 years reincarnating as a mortal until he regained enough animus so that a certain annoying, insane demon can arrange for a demon summoning that would begin the process of kickstarting him back to what he used to be. It’s also been said that reincarnation requires divine guidance, the kind that a Buddha would be able to pull off. This is just my thoughts on the matter.
Try out the Emerilia series by Micheal Chatfield. It starts with The Trapped Mind Project. And the Magic Academy series is great.
Speaking of Tartarus, the book only said that the AII’s voice was a woman’s and unsettlingly familiar to Tom. Pheastus said that it was designed to sound like the person most familiar to Tom, but while that would usually mean his mother considering his age and relationship status back on Earth, the book doesn’t say that it is Tom’s mom, leaving me to assume that it’s someone from Orcus’s life. Will we get a confirmation on the owner of this voice in the next books?
