Whose Ready For 2 Nights At Caverns Followed By Hulaween!!!

Sooooo glad the boys and girl loooooove the south, but especially Tennessee as they come to Knoxville every tour just about and are always down to kick it with the fans if they’ve got a break in the tour. Thank you for 25 magical years (for me) and letting me show my 66 year old father why their my favorite band of our generation. I’ve never seen a bigger smile on the man’s face ;)

Hey Phil, The Books Got Ruined… My Son Is Devastated, I Reordered Quartet And Will Resend Monday. Literal Worst Case Scenario

I’m really sorry to bother you again but I couldn’t stand to see my son like this and I knew you wouldn’t mind. I’m sorry to lay this at your feet, but this was the worst case scenario. Who doesn’t knock or ring a doorbell when it’s says FRAGILE everywhere. He cried all night until it literally wore him out and so the last book arrives Monday and I’m going to make USPS insure it free after sending me that dilapidated piece of cardboard they called a box.

Thanks for being a good sport Phil and like I said I’ll ship em out monday as thats when the last book is set to arrive. Hopefully it arrives early so i can get it out same day, but it could be Tuesday before i get them out. Depends when Bastion arrives

Thank Phil for all your hard work for all us readers, but more importantly being a good person
Cheers mate and hopefully these make it back intact

Phil, we exchanged words and thank you for making my son’s birthday sooooooo special. You’re a goodin mate. Looking forward to book 5!!!

Cheers mate

Edit: they got ruined in the rain, the guy didn’t knock or ring doorbell. Couldn’t even bother to stick it under the awning. I’ve sent you a message on here as well as an email about sending them out to you for round 2 and hopefully these remain intact

I started in ‘07 with my buddy Earl who I’m sure you know and Ryan. They were my big brothers growing up and huge influence on my sobriety! Cheers gents

After A Decade Of Worklife, I Took My Da To My 50th Show With My Family Members, Ryan And Earl Who Took Me To ATL NYE Run In 07 At 14, Haha! My 66 Year Pop Boogied With The Best And 5 Years Sobriety In September. Oh And Drew I Loved The Hair, haha, If You’ll Pepper In Circus With It I’m Here For It.

I took my father to the Dead and Co final tour. Unfortunately we learned it wasn’t his thing but I started when they opened up with the Music Never Stopped” and it never did and 40k fans hold up a lighter to bring them back for a second encore Samson and Delilah and turned into to seeing different iterations since Greensboro ‘09 Easter Sunday. I’ll never forget it. I was the goofball riding lot on my unicycle around on it. He called asking where I was and nan had just got there from Easter brunch. I said pop im going to see the dead and I’m halfway there. He said he back by Monday and hung up.

He’s originally from Manchester and moved here at 24 to work at ORNL Jan 1985 \\-24. Coldest day in Knox history and he’s my hero. I could move across the pond without knowing any anyone and technology was barely getting off the ground so he’s my hero a punk, electronic, jazz, blues etc. such as Moody Blues, Billy Idol, Joy Division etc and his top 3 includes a band named Camel. I couldn’t suggest anything better. Thanks K-Town and Tribe for giving me another great experience and with my pop no less!!!

For all those who missed it wanted to let you know you are LOVED

Don’t do anything I wouldn’t do twice ;
Cheers, til next time

Like Most In The Sub Your Novels Have Been Such A Fantastic Experience And For That I Thank You! Do You Sign Books? I’d Gladly Pay Whatever Fee As Well As There And Back Labels

Ryan regardless of your answer thank you for such a wild ride. The series has been fantastic and haven’t devoured something that fast since Sun Eater concluded is 7 book series. Chris is a great guy and such a brilliant writer.

I figured I’d reach out and ask. I tried finding your name in the sub but eventually had to make a post

Why Is Who The Kings Scepter Was Still Being Considered And Debated

Why Are People Debating Naomi Being The Kings Scepter I can’t understand when it’s stated Scorpio recognizes her on a primordial level and if it was just him I could see it, but Kuragin remembers her too and says that her powers line up with what the Scepter was known for

With Achezua Seemingly “Waking Up”, Do You Think The Viridian Heart Is A Component Of It’s Body As Seen In Lost Cube’s Epilogue

We got so much information within the last 150+ pages that it makes it hard to piece together what is really happening and why. Such as Naomi, the Tenebrite Queen infestation, and learning she’s the King’s Scepter. We also got Scorpio ruining everyone’s carefully laid plans and probably the most powerful Ferula ever created. We also found out the Viridian Heart was conscious and aware of the Silverine Sun exploding. They have also been mentioned offhandedly since book 1

How Potent Will Class Of 880 Be!?

With the Tomb of Sadness destroyed and legends reincarnated such as Iulius, Moravius, etc such that the Archspire registers some 67k volts and as Lianshi said about Outliers, any guess who’s superior between the 2. How will Raugr handle the influx of students as well as how will it affect Acherzua on a primordial level as she seems to be “waking up” which could be in reaction to the Tomb of Sadness being destroyed as well as the mass incarnations

The Reason That The Portal That Let’s In True Fiends Leaves Them Seemingly Disoriented

Acherzua is the Domain of the Archmagus and I say this because in every Trial we’ve seen not even a hint of Hell having invaded Eterra. He’s also been on the sidelines for too long to be slumbering like some of the Imperators which says that the Cradle and The Pit aren’t what we’ve been told hence why the Blood Ox knew of the Archmagus and didn’t just know him, but his vendetta against him seemed very personal which if id been told I was going to fight Hell’s denizens just to become one would peeve me too

u/DopelessHopefeand — 4 months ago

Could Acherzua Be The Archmagus’ Domain?

I’ve been thinking why in none of the Trials when he’s doing his recruiting is there no scent of Hell having breached Eterra. All we have to go on his word that he’s trying to prevent a future calamity and the more we learn, things are definitely not just heating up, but Great Souls are “evolving” while in the Epilogue of Book 4 we learn Acherzua is “waking up”. The only thing holding me back is that its referred to as a she whereas the Archmagus is a male

Why Did Praximar Yell That Scorpio Was The Reason Why They Didn’t Have An Infernarch At The Beginning Of Bastion?

I think it’s because of the thought about a “natural” born Great Soul was flawed in its conception as well as Scorpio having killed the Kings Scepter who I think will turn out to be Naomi. But than that doesn’t line up with a natural born Great Soul as Naomi would’ve come from Eterra which negates her having been born in Bastion/Acherzua. So I’m torn about the direction we’re heading, but I know I can’t wait!

Now That We Know There Will Be Not 5, But 7 Novels, What Do We Think Will Happen And Who Will Be Crowned Infernarch?

Recently I learned that we’re in for a treat in the form of an extra 2 books in the Great Souls series bringing the total to 7 in all. What does everyone think about where the series ends and how the story will unfold? I’ve got a few ideas, but I’d like to hear your thoughts and opinions about where we’re heading and whether you like it or not and why.

I think that Naomi may end up as Infernarch. She’s already an equivalent to a Charnel Duke. The reason I say this is in Book 4, Leonis says Dameon must be one himself since he was flying. Well one of the first things we see from Naomi is her flight, but what stood out was that she could hover. I think Phil added this in to hint down the line that she’s broken through past Scorpio into Charnel Duke territory.

Also, I think she’s the Kings Scepter and that her and Scorpio have had a Romeo and Juliet type feudal love story for the ages.

Lastly, I think it’s a coin toss for who will end up the Infernarch. Wether it be Naomi, Scorpio, or them finally working in sync could be what’s needed to claim dominion over Acherzua becoming the Infernarch in a metaphysical sense and thus closing the Pit therefore creating a portal back home to Eterra
