Glaeken, Rasalom and the Lady are all around 15,000 years old, correct?
And the three of them were part of the First Age, correct?
We all agree there was a Great Cataclysm that wiped out everything from that age with the exception of some special materials.
I know none of the books have ever mentiones dinosaurs before, and we have to assume dinosaurs existed in Jack's world, but how were we able to discover dinosaur bones millions of years ago when a bunch of history was wiped out only 15,000 years ago?
Just a thought, I think my facts are mostly accurate?
Good evening.
Hello all, I've been absent from the forum for a while, and figure what better thread to post my return than something relating to The First Age (one of my favorite topics, btw). I realize the thread's a little old, but I have to ask the question: If dinosaur bones were found even after the Great Cataclysm, then why weren't there any Q'qr fossils found as well? If any one has any theories as to why this is, I'd be interested in hearing them.
Also, I'm still reading
The Dark At The End, and as always, F. Paul doesn't disappoint. I had to force myself to not read it all in one sitting. I also hope that once Paul finishes with his last set of YA Jack books, that he will consider writing some books about The First Age. I know, I know; I've mentioned it before. The First Age books would be along the lines of Fantasy/Horror, and give some more enlightening details about the trevails of Glaeken, Rasalom/The Seven, The Lady, Srem, and the Q'qr race, and perhaps even the Great Cataclysm.
And speaking of Srem, I found a new song that made me think of what her life may have been like. About her possible tortured existance as a cursed Cassandra, and being manipulated by the Otherness and the Ally due to her extraordinary Gift of Seeing.
Some of my favorite lines in the song can be found in my revised signature, but I've copied the lyrics in their entirety below. Musically, the song may not be for all, but I thought it fit Srem's haunted life (from what little we know of it) fairly well. The link to the song "Book of Dreams" can be found at the very bottom of the page.
Lyrics to "Book of Dreams" (by Witchbreed):
Slide and Slick as a Serpent
Unique and Mysterious
A danger for the Mind
The Greatest Gift You'll Find
Cursed and Long Forgotten
Lost and Left to Die
Cast Aside from your Kind
A Poison in My Eyes
Silence Divides the Way
Of Fire and Flesh Empire
Father Watcher, Ancient Eye
Disciple of the Night
Of Fading Lights and Shining Darkness
We dance and Spin
This Fragile Light You Spread Away
Like Tired Wings
I Walk Alone Born of Shadows
Heart Has Turned to Stone
I Walk Alone In the Shadows
My Heart is made of Stone
A Lightning Breaks the Mist
Embraces the Future Life
With Empty Hands of Hope
The Saddest Way to Die
Slave of Tyrant Dreams
A Walker of Endless Skies
Soulless Shade of Salvation
And This Silence Never Dies
I Walk Alone
Dark Soul
I never Die
Lost Dogs
I've learned the Lie
