I don't think that Aliens would come looking for POTUS. Requires too many assumptions on the biology and cognition of aliens and then them making the semantic leaps required to respect our sociocultural hierarchy as we do.
What makes Serwa different than other sorcerers and/or Kellhus himself? I'm sure every schoolmen has passion, but Titirga was somehow unique in his ability to mix the two magically, if indeed he was using some kind of psukhe-precursor.
I think it's what made Kellhus "mad" as a Dûnyain. He steeoped outta mission and said this thing needs to go.
Haha, I like that for some reason. Makes me think of an actor stepping off stage and breaking character to throw out some moron from the audience. Once thats all cleaned up he'll hop back into character and go back to completing the Dunyain mission.
dammit. page 387 of TTT
Moenghus gasped, jerked, and spasmed as Cnaiiur rolled the Chorae across his cheek. White light flashed from his gouged sockets. For an instant, Cnaiir thought, it seemed the God watched him though a mans skull.
What do you see?
But then his lover fell away, burning as he must, such was the force of was had possesses them.
UM did The No-God look through Moes eyes. Cnaiir believes his god is dead, The No-God is the Scylvendi God, right?
Now that sir is very interesting! Also no mention of salting neither. I seem to remember the consensus that the Cish kinda flash out of existence.
TTT, when Proyas (in Shimeh) is on a rooftop and throws his chorae at a Cishaurim:QuoteThen a flash, a black-ringed circle of light, from which the saffron figure plummeted like a sodden flag.
It appears, maybe, that chorae have an equal-but-opposite effect on Cishaurim. Sorcerers are completely turned to salt, clothes and all (removal of all water from them?). Cish appear to be 'sodden' yet still 'burn' (becoming soaked or one with 'water'?).
Also, something that always bugged me: Moe doesn't flinch before Cnaiur places the chorae on his cheek. If he were a sorcerer, he would have sensed the thing coming toward him, but he doesn't. He only reacts when it touches him. So, a few possibilities:
1) Cishaurim aren't of the Few (they can't sense chorae, even though they kill them, too; is there any textual evidence to support/contradict this?)
2) Moenghus was not one of the Few (if he were, he may have sensed it coming toward him anyway)
3) Moe was so absorbed with what he was doing (trying to save his own ass), he didn't sense it (hard for me to believe, as the Dunyain have demonstrated they can easily concentrate on more than one thing at a time).
Just adding fuel to the speculative fire.
