Am I to take it little Kel dead at the end of the book? I am pretty sure Kellhus would be able to figure out the eye glances and his scream at the end.

The first time Kellhus met a woman was at Atrithau.And since that part was skipped we will never know what was his reaction.

Unless of course there will be an Atrocity Tale about Kellhus in Atrithau,now that would be cool!!

I loved that moment, how we catch up with Kellhus in medias res fighting/fleeing from Sranc with his little-dunyain. Its one of the great gem's from the first book, so much to read into this paragraph.

 He needed only to assemble these truths into coarse sermons,
and they would surrender possessions, lovers, even children. Forty-seven men had
accompanied him when he rode from Atrithau’s southern gates, calling themselves
the adunyani, the “little Dünyain.” Not one survived the trek across Suskara. Out of
love they had sacrificed everything, asking only for words in return.

While we dont need to see this event, I too would love reading a full description, perhaps even from a civilian's POV in Atrithau. I figured Kellhus probably got as many followers as he could, enough to cross Suskara, but would not want to take full reign of Atrithau, as that would be a distraction, and a potential threat for Ishual's hidden location. I don't remember the second time he talks about Atrithau, but he does mention it later, something along the lines of "the ones who distrusted the most, became his most fervent followers."

But wouldn't that burn - immaculate conception  (with Esme being an old name 'Such an old fashioned name') but she gives the child away to slavery...

That would be devastating. I feel like Kellhus would know who the father is, especially with Mimara around a few times on the Andiamine Heights, (he could see generations of Nroni fisherman toiling through Akka's face.

On a side note... in The Judging Eye, how did Mimara know where Achamian was to begin with? Let alone find him?

Ok seriously, I've now read all six books and this keeps coming up in conversations. Have I missed something?

Prediction: Achamian will forgive Kellhus for the whole Esmenet thing, and Kellhus in return sets up a wicked cool proposal between Akka and Esmi. Thus fullfilling the prophecy at the end of The Thousandfold Thought.
