I guess still using spoilers. Personally, I am new to the series and have only finished FC. I try to avoid the LC forums to prevent knowing how the series ends before I read the rest of the novels.

Thanks, although I did go ahead and read the spoiler because curiosity got the better of me. Very Happy

I haven't gotten far enough into the series to understand how important that is, though.

Anywho, coming again from ignorance for the rest of the series, but I was trying to think of a soul-crushing fate that SRD could use for Elena in the later books. The best I could think of is that she is reincarnated as the Philippine woman with leprosy that Covenant talked about meeting at the leprosarium in Illearth War. A twist to the story could be that, as a result of some strange reality-bending shenanigans, it could turn out that Thomas Covenant himself was the husband who ditched her and left her to her horrible fate at the leprosarium. He was talking about how he'd like to punish the husband for what he did to her (the woman who kept smiling no matter what). It would be horribly ironic if it turned out that he was the husband somehow. She kept smiling partially because she's a little nuts and partially because she knows the husband was Thomas Covenant (her 'Beloved') and loved him no matter what.

You figured it out! No point in reading the books now.

I've always liked Elena, but she is barking mad.

In today's world Elena might be considered bipolar, or tri-polar, or
quad-polar, or the quientessential of backwards..

Nope wait, if she was that she be Anele .... A raving mad hollian and sundering effect.

Aren't you being a little one-sided!

Mhoram had once said, everyone loves Elena. Because, I guess, she loved hospitality, learning, seeking knowledge, books, words and reading, antiquarianism, truth and things of the past, hard work, beards, foreigners, trees, woods and rocky places, beauty, sunshine, wine, the lower classes, flowers and gardens, running water, admiration of horses and animals, sculpture, electricity, and my personal favourite ... a feverish desire to undress Wink

Hi Illender...

I don’t think she could have ever stayed away from the earthpower. She said herself, she as High Lord could never have ignored something that may have ended the war. Even though she was skating on thin ice as regards understanding and using it. Plus she had to keep Covenant near on the off chance of his potential ‘treachery’ and onside. I will always wonder how the hell Covenant never made the connection between her and Lena in the first place. Their names are virtually the same after all !
