In TOT, Linden in Elemesnedene observes:
Quote: | Ahead lay the only landmark Linden had seen in the whole of the clachan—a broad ring of dead elms... black and immemorial death... she did not understand... (124). |
In FR, at Gallows Howe:
Quote: | In starlight and the lucent allusions of the Forestal's music, she saw two dead black trees standing beyond the lifeless hillcrest. (292) |
I checked TIW to see if it says what kind of trees are on the Forestal's hill, but I didn't find this information. Maybe the type is not important. But I think it might be important that the trees are black like Linden's Staff is now. Since the darkness in Elemesnedene is a mystery to Linden, maybe it was one of those Last Chronicles foreshadowings (literally!) in the Second Chronicles. Maybe it represents the shadow on the heart of the Elohim? |

Where is that ring of dead trees in Elemesnedene? I don't remember it. _________________ A little knowledge is still better than no knowledge. |

Where fashion-savvy trees died of horror after beholding Findail's turtle-necked muumuu?
It was in the local e-fest.
"Sun-Sage," Infelice said in a tone of glacial scorn, "you mock yourself and are blind to it." Moving disdainfully, she left the eftmound and passed through the ring of dead trees. |
