The Oracle

The Oracle The Tree of Knowledge I swear it on my tongue and teeth. I swear it on the doors of stone . I’m telling you three thousand times. There is nothing in my world or yours more dangerous than the Cthaeh.  So then… The Cthaeh… Interesting name, and it’s not a small name. It tells to us about itself. ‘Do not try to pin me with small names. I am Cthaeh. I am. I see. I know… At times I speak.’ Whilst we should all agree on that emphatic statement, we do need to ask ourselves the question ‘What exactly does it do?’ Well, it is a seer. It sees the future… all futures apparently, and it can see them all perfectly. Now, Perfectly would imply it is therefore a creature of the shapers, because all things the shapers made were created to be perfect too. The whole of Fae was created to be perfect and every tree, every butterfly, every blade of grass, and every grain of sand was made especially to be there, for ever,doing it’s desired job perfectly.

Tinker Tangle

Tinker Tangle Tinker Tangle ‘A tinkers debt is always paid, Once for any simple trade, Twice for freely given aid, Thrice for any insult made. πΠπ There are two tinkers of major note encountered so far, Trebon tinker and Eld tinker.

Fortunately for him he just happened to have a small, rare and valuable means of payment that would fit in your pocket better than a horse would. It also came in useful for finding draccus scales and was basically the perfect currency for paying off devi since the University is the place to be for the best prices ...

Game pieces

1 ~ A-Gender . Welcome back, we have now pretty much mapped out the first Corner , but our storylines are starting to pull apart now, we have our Lockless family tree rooted in Newarre and our trunk rises from Vintas but now the choice of paths before us want to branch off in different directions at once, but we can only follow one path at a time and the wise student will follow The path of the Book before them. That is of the Lethani. We shall follow Kvothe's journey a little further then and investigate the Adem. They are probably the strangest of all the races of man that we encounter and they 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. Therefo...
