This.I think when Malowebi asks Meppa what he is and he replys, "Weary". Says a lot about Kellhus's human nature.
You might be reading too much into this. When he returns to Momemn in The Judging Eye (or was it WLW?) to see Psatma Nannaferi, he's exhausted purely because of the exertion of travelling that distance by teleportation. And that journey was much shorter. I think he was simply tired because of that.
While that is plausible, why say "weary" when he meant "tired" or "exhausted." No, to me weary has a whole different connotation than either of those others and so it seems wholly reasonable to draw the inference that MSJ did from his choice of words. Being weary isn't just being tired.
Is it possible that the 144k is one of the "untrue" prophecies that Aurang refers to when talking to skinny-Soma?In all honesty, I never even thought of if as not being literal; I just assumed the number was actually of significance. Hearing what you both said was actually quite the revalation (har har)
I'm sure it's literal as far as the Inchoroi prophecy goes. I just don't think we'll see it happen. Or that it's necessary to shut off the Outside.
A sadness welled through the old Wizard as he walked and peered, a mourning that possessed the airy clutch of premonition. There was poetry in loss and ruin, a wisdom that even children and idiots understood. For a time he suffered the eerie sense that he walked one of the great capitals of the Three Seas, that these were the ruins of Momemn, Carythusal, or Invishi, and they were the Last Men, thirteen instead of the one hundred and forty-four thousand of legend, and that no matter how far they travelled, how many horizons they outran, all they would find was soot and broken stone.
