exodus

A-Gender . This 2corner will focus on the Adem. They are probably the strangest of all the races of man that we encounter and hold their secrets tightly. Stillness and silence are the heart of Ademre, something no barbarian could understand. Still, we can but try. Man Mothers When approaching a puzzle that goes against the grain, it is natural to adopt a guilty until proven innocent stance. But you must always remember that this is Fantasy Fiction, not Fantasy Fact. That's a whole different ball game. Therefore I have a rule. Since this is Not Planet Earth, nothing from our unique Terran culture should be used as a tool to crack open Temerant. Pat can do what he wants in his world and if the story calls for one race of mankind to be a biologically different species from all the others that is absolutely fine. It might even be the silver key we need to unlock a bigger secret... A-Women Given that Kvothe has studied plenty of four corners medicine and has lived long enough to think h...

lighthouses

When they say a city fell under shadow, a literal translation might be that it's light was snuffed out. Myr Tariniel sucked in daylight and glowed throughout the night with stored solar. This makes it in essence to be a lighthouse. I think the rulers ofvtheseccities had one task, the KKK eep the light on that kept the shadow s at bay. It's all about light.  the events of Lanre day saw 6 Chandrian snuff out 6 candles and so plunge the world into near darkness, the colour of Gods nemesis. All except one candle which remained lit and offered  folk a beacon of hope . The chandlers. Tried to bring about an age of darkness where demons can thrive.

agenda Silver Now the Adem claim to be superior stock to all of these Iron people making them a special case. Touched neither with Tehlu's iron nor Aleph's superior gold their eyes show the silver of parity.  Why should they have escaped gods masterplan of conformity? And what do they have to say about the events of Tehlu Day? Well I believe their answer is spoken of by Vashet when she told us that " Long ago the Adem were upheaved from our rightful place. Something we cannot remember drove us out. Someone stole our land or ruined it or made us flee in fear.' Rather inconvenient that they cannot remember themselves but I say this forgetfulness was part of what God did do to them on or about Tehlu Day. Now upheavel is a very good word to use alongside my cataclysm theory when describing exactly how 'the land broke and the sky changed.' This is difficult area for truth hunting but since all stories are one story the best answer I have ascertained makes this thing...

Lords and Ladies

1 ~ Kings & Queens  Our next step is to examine what we know of the world outside today.  Chronicler has an appointment with the Earl of Baeden-Bryt at his estates in Treya which is a days ride or about 30 miles away. The Earl is Newarre's local noble and he was granted his title by his king. Aaron is also off to Treya where he is considering 'fighting for his king and his country.' He expects the kings representative there to pay him a whole gold royal for enlisting with the penitent kings army and a royal is a Vintish coin. QED Newarre's king is a Vintish king. The two army deserters we encounter have just been through this process , they have their vintish gold coins and are now sporting the Vintish kings colours of blue and white. Now these are good enough colouring words for the decking out of common foot soldiers but if you were at the other end of the army, up with the top brass, you would wear a much finer uniform that is technically a different colour. The ...
