Re: Lirians Gate: a reminder
Spoiler: SoD SpoilersFrom Start of Darkness, we know that the elves and fey under Lirian's command were in the know about her Gate. We don't know if they were a hand-picked elite order like the Sapphire Guard or if they were chosen by some other criteria (or if perhaps Lirian was more lax with the secrecy of the Gates, since out of all of the Scribbles, she seemed to command the largest army of people-in-the-know to defend it), so the elves knowing about Soon's Gate via Lirian is not out of the question.Last edited by Shadowknight12; 2021-03-23 at 08:58 PM.

Re: Lirians Gate: a reminder
Spoiler: SoDPage 71, Redcloak: "The Gate broke up when they tried to run."
The drawing was somewhat ambiguous, but this line clears it up.Attention LotR fans
Spoiler: LotRThe scouring of the Shire never happened. That's right. After reading books I, II, and III, I stopped reading when the One Ring was thrown into Mount Doom. The story ends there. Nothing worthwhile happened afterwards. Middle-Earth was saved.

Re: Lirians Gate: a reminder
Is it against the forum rules to show the 5 panels depicting the gate's destruction or the 3 panels showing Redcloak explain what happened? Since you can only get those if you buy the book, I don't want to post the picture if it's considered taking away revenue from The Giant.

Re: Lirians Gate: a reminder
Yeah, I figured it would better to air on the side of caution. But yes, the Druids didn't do controlled burns and didn't protect the treants from Fire. So when Redcloak used fire, everything burned. The first attack on the grove, he didn't prepare Flame strike because he thought they would use Protection from Fire. Right-eye called him on it saying he always over prepares. Before the second fight, Xykon accidently paralyzed Right-eye and Redcloak had to drag him behind him.
When Redcloak used flame strike, some of the treants caught fire, fell into each other, and set the rest of the treants on fire in a literal domino effect. Then all the animals attacked him and he tried to coordinate them to stop the fire including a Smokey the Bear parody that he killed. The two treants the portal was lashed to tried to run from the fire and they tore it apart. Meanwhile Xykon was killing Lirian and she mentioned the other 4 gates which Xykon and Redcloak didn't know about.
When she realized she gave up the secret of the other 4 gates, she said "crap" and her neck broken by Xykon who then bound her soul to a black crystal a la The Elder Scrolls. In fact, it may have been a direct reference the Black Soul Gems from the Elder Scrolls series. When he met back up with Redcloak and the still paralyzed Right-eye, Redcloak explained about the Druid's stopping all forest fires which caused there to be a lot of dry growth that led to the entire forest burning down.
Ironic as the Druids were so concerned with the natural order of things. That might have been a dig at California for doing the same thing, but I doubt the Giant meant anything politic by it as he has avoided that kinda thing for like two decades now. Just common sense stuff, I guess.Last edited by Thecommander236; 2021-03-27 at 02:26 PM.
