Thanks for this fan tastis snippet. :-)

My bet is Chihiro ans Scheuler lost the War of the Fallen and to eredicate their true memory were enshrined in the two most hated institutions, the army and the inquisition. A truly evil way to rewrite history and destroy the memory of your opponents.

Interesting idea. I wonder how this fits together with Paityr's family mission...at the moment I haven't the books here and can't read the relevant passages but it would be interesting to know if you can interpret the holographic message in a way that it fits your idea.

Hi Isaac_Newton,

Yes, thank you so very much RFC!

Since its a battle steel sword its far too big for her, a rather small and dainty person, to drag around with her everywhere.

So Merlin is safe for now. :D

You may be thinking of Helm's Deep in LotR, and Goblin Cleaver in The Hobbit; certainly RFC isn't above a little homage to one of his favorite book series NTM movies.

So much in such a little space - so much food for wild speculations! :lol:

Perhaps she has Helm Cleaver on her person. what would happen if a battle steel sword got thru to a PICA?

BTW that name sounds rather like one of the swords from the Hobbit or LOTR?
Any snippet or post from RFC is good if not great!

Yes it can be interpretted that way.
The holographic messages states that the key can only be used ones. And the only thing I can think of that is of one time use is the revelation of the thruth. I think the gigantic file is not a personality, but the complete library from earth.

This thought was the reason for my post about Clyntahn using the key of Schueler.

Hi Lyonheart

Funnily enough, after my last post, I could not not find that name, and so was wondering if I had conjoined exactly those two you suggested...
:lol:

is battle steel heavy? is HC large and clumsy - a good old two hander? Maybe it's a small dainty sword???
perhaps thats why she sits so straight- cause it's tucked down her back, ready to be wipped out at a moments notice :lol:
Of course, you are almost certainly correct - it was just an idle thought.

Well I'm more interested what the hologram says about the responsibility for the church the Wylsynn family inherits. Does this textev support a Schueler who didn't write his book and didn't play the important part he officially had?
For me it always seemed as Schueler had a hand in creating the church but feared some later corruption so he installed the Wylsynns as his guardians.

Aviah has figured out that Merlin is not normal, but does not know anything else. I suspect that she is in for as big a shock as Merlin had when s/he begins his/her disclosures. I suspect that Merlin knows CPR.

You're thinking of Thorin's elvish sword Orcrist ("the Goblin Cleaver").
