exodus

When examining the Lockless box, Kvothe guesses it's age to be about 3000 years old and Meluan appears to agree with his estimate. Assuming they are both close to the truth That then gives us an approximation as to the date of Tehlu Day and the age of the 4Corners both. Shaped ware does not corrode, not even a tiny bit which indicates to me that any 'carving' on it will appear exactly the same as the day it was made, implying it's not carved at all since tools don't exist that could do this. taking a brass rubbing to highlight the pattern would be my next step but I'm not there so we shall never know. If Kvothe's guess about iron  copper in the wood is also correct hints at these names being 2/3 of it's total long name composition. But a lot of folk have suggested that copper does not have a name which would act as a very secure way of making sure it stays shut. 
Perhaps one of the words forsworn is the name of copper. The lock them could never be opened by anyone or thing since the copper name locking key cannot be replicated . 

Anyway. 3000 years ago the Adem would have begun their exodus. We can only guess how long it was before they finally settled in Ademre but I very much doubt they found their latantha tree waiting for them when they arrived qed they planted it themselves upon arrival. Unlike the greystone by the stone trial which probably was.

The Adem today are not the same thing as the Ergen Fae quote
Different branches of the tribe live in different locations but the main but between them all they have carried a few old things with them like swords and candles and stories.

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 ...

Big Brother

Big Brother Deeper and Deeper The University is Old. Elodin tells us of it being built on the site of a previous university, and even hints at a university before then. This site has always been a seat of learning, maybe even as far back as the days of Lady Lyra of Belen who once learnt the name of the wind and walked these streets like a tiny god. Belen is where Teccam has built the current university around the four plate door and the archives are the walls that keep this secret hidden. the archives themselves were built by the university’s secret amyr members , probably by using the name of stone since naming is the basis of all power and this is an edifice to their prowess. It is the most impressive building in the world, Caluptena excepted…perhaps. We hear nothing of it’s construction but it has a purpose and it is perfect at it’s job. No windows, Only one door* it is a fortress to the preservation of knowledge and none are allowed in who’s names aren’t in the book. Dangerous thin...

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...
