I've read these books for million times but i can't understand one simple thing. What was the creature that George Cypher killed? I mean, the Book Of Counted Shadows was in the Wizards' Keep, so how Darken Rahl could place one of his beasts in such place? And why George fought it on his own? Ann and Nathan could help him, I suppose.
What's on your mind?

Why do you think Tobias gave the Duchess Lumholtz to Galtero to rape?
While, the show did not end of a cliffhanger or to be continued, that was good ambiguous ending.
But if the show would had continued for Season 3. Does anyone have any thoughts?
While, fully aware, some would disagree with the direction of the Show Adaptation. We can not have everything, but we can now and then have something.
I was angry when Denna was killed just as she was trying to change...
I wanted to share my labor of love with all fans of the series. I hope you like the finished product as much as I enjoyed making it. (and as much as I enjoyed finally being done with it after 18 months lol)
I am a Collaborative Dreamer and have found this image repeatedly.
My dreams are HIGHLY subliminal, and sometimes puny.
If I decipher them using my own vocabulary, I find them VERY useful in "real" life.
I have SCOURED the internet and can't find a lead that rings my chimes.
IDO remember my Daughter (ultra-intuitive) reading Goodkind's series and calling the characters her "friends".
I ALSO remember one character who employs subliminals to "activate" sword powers.
Does this make ANY sense?
Someone asked this in the "General Discussion" board but it was never answered so I'm going to ask this here.
Does anyone have any maps (official or homedrawn) of the Valley of the Lost or the Old World? What is between the Old and the New World? Ocean? How wide? What would stop somebody from crossing this Ocean via boat/ship? Did the barrier expand out?
Also, the same question for the other two boundaries in the New World. Did the boundaries expand out into the ocean a ways? It seems like this was answered in the books but I can't quite remember what was said. Can anyone help me?
I'm thinking of creating a D&D Campaign in this world and any suggestions would be awesome.
Thanks in advance!
Ever Imagine... what if the wars nowadays uses swords, daggers, knives like in wiki unlike.. cyberwars, nuclearwars etc :D
How was Magda Searus able to travel in the Sliph to take Baraccus’s book to his secret library(Phantom, ch. 35) if she was ungifted(The First Confessor, ch. 1) and wasn’t made into a confessor until much later?
How is Vika alive at the end of warheart? Kahlan used her confessr power on her and she was dying last thing we heard. Then bam she's standing in front of Richard, what did i sleep read through some of it or something?
Hey. So I just finished Wizard's First Rule and overall I found it entertaining but there were some things I just did not understand. There was a good portion of the book (80 pages??) where Richard gets captured by the Mord Sith Denna, with some extremely twisted torture and rape described in almost pornographic detail which was frankly difficult to read through.
Most of the time when i read books and they have extreme scenes like this it is to serva a purpose. In this book however, i felt like it was pointless. Why does Terry Goodkind feel the need to put us through chapters of endless torture?
If an unpleasant idea is presented over and over and its effects on the characters are profound, I'll buy that the author's exploring a theme. But if it's presented over and over and there are never real repercussions (or in the case of forced kidnappingm torture, and prolonged sexual abuse, intense psychological trauma), it comes off as a sort of fetish. Now I'm not saying Goodkind's a rapist or enjoys torture or anything like that, but I do think in this case we can learn a lot about the author's personal tastes from what he's chosen write.
As I said, I really liked the book - the characters and this fantasy universe is amazing and deeply interesting, and for that reason, I'm very dissapointed that the whole SM/torture thing threw me off as much as it did. (I'm afraid that it's especially the sexual undertones that threw me off?) Consequently, I've gone from completely hooked to having almost no desire or interest in reading on.
I don't want to feel like that. I feel these books have great potential - I want to like them, I do like them. Just not the Denna torture-part. Unfortunately, it left such a bad taste in my mouth, that it warped my view of the whole thing.
So I'm begging of you guys: Please, can you help me change my opinion? The last 200 pages (from Denna and the torture was introduced) I read rather lightly. I will very likely have missed the points or subtext of all this. Please help me understand and appreciate these scenes, if possible.
So I’m sure, if you come to Wikia/Fandom often, that you’ve noticed that the headers have changed. Unfortunately, the default golden color clashes with the wordmark, & so for now I’ve set it to black. I honestly don’t know what looks good aesthetically, so if anyone had any suggestions for what color the header should be, or if they’d like to make a new wordmark or header graphic, I’d be interested to see them!
