Lord and lady

Where next is to examine what we know of the world outside. Chronicler has an appointment with the Earl of Baeden-bryt in Treya who was appointed his title by the king.  Aaron is also off to Treya where he is considering 'fighting for his king and his country ' and taking the kings gold coin and joining the penitent kings army. Qed the penitantvkingbis a vintish king. The two army deserters we encounter have been through this process , have their vintish coin and are now wearing the kings colours of blue and white. Which are good enough colours for the decking out of foot soldiers whilst the royal guard of Maer Alveron wear heraldic colours which are just a more majestic version of the raw recruit tabards and this they are seen sporting sapphire and Ivory. That's close enough a match for me  QED Maer Alveron, aka the King of Vint is the king in question that is out raising an army today. He is still alive and is not the king Kvothe king killer killed.
Of course it is possible that Ranulph Alveron might well be dead and his house colours have passed down the line of succession to his son and heir , except that he doesn't have one...
But he may well have a daughter!

Act 1 Scene 1

It wasn't much of a church to begin with, but then Newarre wasn't much of a town. It didn't take long to burn down and It was already a lost cause before the first of the townsfolk arrived on the scene "It were Blue, I tell you." Insisted Old Cob, " "Blue! and it lit up the sky like a beacon for miles around. Everyone must have seen it! I saw it meself with my own eyes from Shep's front porch. ." "Now Really, Cob" said Hap shovelling another shovelfful of dirt towards the edge of the flames, "This hain't a time to be spinning yarn. 'how much did you drink at the wake last night? "  "You tell him Jake, tell him what we saw."  Jake looked uncomfortable. Staring daggers at his friend. "Aye, " Jake admitted "it did look a bit Blue at first, but after that lightning struck it were just normal fire again." "After? I thought it were the lightning what started it" "Well I only saw ...

Pub Crawl

PubCrawl The Rising Sun. On the wall in Pat’s office there must be a map of the Waystone Inn since all of the individual mentions of the pubs layout correlate perfectly with each other and thus to this master architects blueprint. It is a device used by the writer so that he doesn’t get confused one day and accidently have someone go through a door that isn’t there or have the sun rising in the West. The Sun of Temerant rises in the East, just like in our world, although that was a very small crumb to finally track down in a very big book. But find it I did and that gives us a place to start our pub crawl and to see if we cannot recreate Pat’s clever map for ourselves. Long after I had first fallen down the rabbit hole, and my re-reads were somewhere in double figures, I started to collect notes for easy reference, I can barely make sense of my own scrawl now but they aren’t that important really once you learn your way around. It was during one of these re-reads that I jotted down all...

Dictum

Dictum Tangles Dictum ‘Seven. You can hold to that with some certainty. It’s part of their name, actually. Chaen means Seven. Chaen-dian means “Seven of them”.Chandrian. Now Ben is university educated, and that is where he has learned a bit of ancient Temic, a language that predates ‘the old Tema that only priests know’ by a thousand years. But we should also remember that the university is Amyr run, and that they are at least as old as Thelu’s first priests and would also speak the old language of the world. Furthermore, nothing Amyr influenced should be taken at face value in these books, or indeed in their own books, and Dian is not Drian just as Chaen is not Chan. Inconsistancies indicate errors and given that Pat has stated that he poured an awful lot of time and thought into creating names for this language, and since Names Are Important, it is only fair that I do the same in order to decipher it back again, and I would expect things to be error free. The Chaendrian are a groupe ...
