I wasn't actually suggesting it would be another race—I was merely saying that if it could be the Vulsutyrim, it could just as well be another race entirely different. There have been strong illusions to the fact that the Titans are the last race, just as there were strong illusions that Sulmandir was not dead—and that Joraiem was going to die. I mean come on—whether you like the cover or not, look at the art for book 5. That's Alazare on the front, no question. He is obviously the last race—and has great importance. And the chapter title, "The Last Titan," is referring to him.

Yeh, someone else who thinks its the titans. I really really do think its them.

The eagle flies and the people cry/ A dragon awakens and death is nigh/ Lovers torn apart by war and destiny/ Evil reigns but only for a time/ A sacrifice will save the good/ One day all will be as it should/ Ancient allies renew bonds/ Old thrones recieve new kings/ The forest comes alive and sings/ The bear returns to forgotten paths/ The Betrayer has come forth in the night/ His army is great in might/ One person can save the land/ Their lives are in his hand/ Who he is no one knows/ Only those who have seen beyond/ The eyes of some are opened while others are shut/ Will you open your eyes to the evil or turn your back and ignore it/ There is much you can do/ There is hope/ Open the door and come into worlds unknown/ The staff may be gone, but the power is still there/ Just believe and help will come/ Hold onto the hope you have left/ Hold on and do not let go/ This I have told you/ This you shall do/ Fight, fight with all your might/ Don't just use the sword/ Use your head and use the word/ The word I will give to you/ All is not what it seems/ There is life beyond the grave/ The people I will save/ Only have hope and believe/ Hope in me and in all that is good/ Do not give up/ One day all will be well/ One day all my Holy Mountain will be cleasned/ There shall be no more death.

Lol, if you want to restate them, go ahead. Most if not all of us aren't going to ever heard/remember them

Okay, so here's a basic summary of why it CANNOT be the Titans.

K, so, all the Titans are dead except for Malek and Alazare. Pretty sure we all agree on that. So.

Consider these facts:

1. In order for the Titans to be resurrected, everything has to be made new.
2. In order for everything to be made new, Malek has to be defeated.
3. In order for Malek to be defeated, the fourth race has to join with the others.

One can restate the above facts as follows:

The fourth race has to join with the others in order for the Titans to be resurrected.

It is therefore highly unlikely--impossible, in fact--that the Titans are the fourth race. They would have to join with the other races before being resurrected, which would mean they'd still be dead. Now tell me, how much good can a dead Titan do? For that matter, how much good can a dead anything do?

*sits back and waits for the inevitable attempts at arguing with her logic*

Ahem. But.

Only one Titan can't be counted as a race.

So? One does not make a race. Power does not matter. One is still not really a race.
