But like I said it has been awhile. Perhaps I am remembering incorrectly but, in the books didn't Richard and Khalin get married in the plains of the midlands because Richards total acceptance and devotion to Khalen render her power pointless and ineffective in the end? I thought that was how Darken was "supposedly" defeated? (of coarse the boxes would have ended anyone that did not use the sword of truth to open them)

Let me know if anyone actually has accurate info on this because it has been bugging me and i don't have the first few books.
