I've just been reading The Watcher's Book of Words, in Section 5 at the very end is an interesting paragraph:

I think you're spot on, Farlesis. "Daughter of the daughter?" The only daughter referred to is Yeesha....so perhaps she does have a daughter of her own.................."It was death that moved me to return" I believe refers to the Fall.......just guessing.

Yes the death reference could be that she's referring to the fall of D'ni. I have put up the entire transcribed version of the Watcher's prophecies known as the 'Words' in the Encylopedia. That took some typing Laughing

But it was fascinating and interesting to read at the same time. Lots of thoughts about various passages. I think the Grower is Yeesha, and lots of references to the Gathered.

Here's an idea.

I think it would be cool to transcribe the passages on the forum, and try to interpret each line and stanza -- maybe make some sense of it as a whole for the community. What do you guys think?

I think that is an excellent idea Smile

agreed. UO has them all transcribed. should this discussion be here at TGT? i'd recommend UO, where we'd get more input.

Not only do I agree that this is an excellent idea...........I think it's necessary....... Embarassed

I am enjoying tPotS immensely but the mystery is so dense (pun intended), I'm not sure I'm getting everything.

We need at least one more expansion pack. Perhaps Uru: The Plain Truth or Uru: The Path of Enlightenment or even better....Uru: The Explanation.

Really, I'm not a Denny Dimwit....but this $h!% is deep! LOL I really feel the D'ni story is heading past epic. They can't quit now.

Actually, Gadren, I think if any of the GT members are going to tackle this big job they should keep it in-house. Seems to me the encyclopedia would be a great place for this project. In fact, I'll join them.......once I've finished tPotS. Wink

In any case, feel free to tell everyone at UO we're noodling on this over here at GT. The more the merrier!

ok! i'll create another discussion thread at UO, so we can have 2 independant trains of thought.

That's cool Gadren.

So everyone where do we want to start? At the beginning or with Section 1?

Daedalus · Posted: Thu Jul 15, 2004 11:12 am Post subject:

We could do a thread for each section... we can add more commentary as each thread progresses perhaps. Should this be in the Research forum?

NSymon · Posted: Thu Jul 15, 2004 11:23 am Post subject:

Yes I was thinking Research forum as well. And good idea as well to do each section with it's own thread and then it can be broken down more easily and not get lost amongst everything.
