I'd find the scene, but amazon is being a dictator and won't let me launch my perfectly working kindle application on my computer. they want me to update it, which I don't want to do. Fucking software companies.

I should be able to find it later if I stop being lazy.

I hate it when programs update their formats. Its always a losing battle, and eventually you are forced to switch. About 4 months ago my gf was on my computer and she wanted to play music.... so she updated my iTunes to the most recent version. I had been avoiding updating it since like 2009. I think since then I've used it 2 times because I hate the format so much lol. So yeah, I feel your pain.

I think I've found the quote, it's Chapter 20, Caraskand:

He laughed, pawed at her face as though embarrassed, and she caught and kissed his sun-haloed palm … The waters that trailed from the flaxen ringlets of his hair and beard had been brown—the colour of dried blood.

that's the quote.

What will the nonmen think of men eating sranc?

I think perhaps Kellhus plans on exterminating the remaining non-men at Dagliash anyway.

That is an interesting perspective. Why would he want them all dead? To difficult to control/manipulate?

Just been re-reading the Cleric sections of AE.  I'll make a longer post explaining my reasoning tomorrow, if I have time.

I wonder if eating sranc will make the Great Ordeal want to eat the things that sranc eat: worms and stuff in the dirt?  Since the sranc cannibalize their own dead, the Great Ordeal will not only be eating the dead srancs but also starving the living!  Not very much, but it could have an effect on the sranc closest to the ordeal.

[Wilshire]

It will at least provide less food for any sranc trailing in the Ordeal's wake.

Jesus, i didn't think about it, but this is going to be a thing.

[mrganondorf]

I'm starting to think that eating sranc won't be a big deal.  I think Kellhus would have tested it thouroughly with all his trackers and outposts, like at Fatwall.  Of course he couldn't have tested what would happen if Mog awakes.  Perhaps a steady sranc diet leads to moderate increases in lust and violence but no more.

Also, I gotta think that the Stone Hags or any company that was out too long would have eaten sranc.  So whatever the effects, its not so crazy that they aren't too unlike the Stone Hags we meet.

[Wilshire]

I'm not so sure about that. Eating sranc has likely been taboo since the breaking of the gates. 4000 years of prohibition is difficult to overcome, even in the event of near death experiences. I think it would take someone like Kellhus to convince people to commit that conceived atrocity.

Though, it may turn out not to be a big deal. Another example of baseless dogma being overturned.

Moral revulsion at what the sranc are - unnatural rape goblins - is hardly baseless.

[Cüréthañ]

Well, at least the logistics officers of the great ordeal now know why they have been lugging wagon trains filled with tomato sauce all this way.

[Wilshire]

Baseless in terms of TDTCB. We don't we sranc because our ancestors didn't eat sranc.

[Cüréthañ]

We don't we sranc because it's not on the menu at McDunyains.
