With others being daughters? It's possible, I guess.

eldest child, probably.
eldest...and only!
I've had the 'not Akka's baby' thought a couple of times. Imhailas seems like the obvious other possibility.
eldest son of Sin'niroiha and Tsinirû
his marriage to the sorceress Tsinirû, who would bear him Nil'giccas, his only son
At one point, doesn't Mimara remark that it is indeed "too early" for the baby to be coming?
Someone does, I thought it was Achiaman.
Also even though Mimara was sold to pimps at an early age and has some specific knowledge in certain areas, is it possible that she just got the time of impregnation wrong?
There are plenty of worse mistakes, not sure why you'd feel bad pointing them out.
As for Proyas, sounds like a pretty bad error.
Mimara, you bring up a lot of viable possibilities. First, I'd like to point out there were timeline issues in TGO, and this might have partially contributed to this weird 6 month pregnancy. But otherwise, my it-was-done-on-purpose explanation is qirri. Its a hell of a drug. That child will be all kinds of messed up.
So for me, the reality is that its likely a timeline mistake, but I'm happy to hand-waive it with qirri, and the father being someone else is fun for speculation .
Thanks for that breakdown ThoughtsOfThelli, very helpful.
Yeah in that case, 20 years seems reasonable, and its the timeframe I'd expect.
Akka starting a heavy chanv addiction to sate his desire for qirri could easily prolong him to 120+. I'd be OK with a 90+ year old Akka as long as he's doing mostly sitting and flying (also creates a nice thematic juxtoposition of Akka becoming Iyokus - who he likely hates more than anyone except maybe Kelhus). Slogging back through the mop may be a bit too much, he's no Cleric, but its at least not without precedence in the story.
You think Mimara's kid and the Crab-Hand will be adults in the next series, or not so much?
That's my biggest conflict with a time jump. Most of the main characters are old. Isn't akka like 70? I think Cnaiur was >70, Kellhus was in his 50's or 60's, so is esmenet. Skip forward just another 10 years and those guys, especially Akka, will be a bit to old to be slogging through the world (already felt that with Akka in WLW).
On the other hand, Crabicus, Akka Jr., Kelmomas, Moe Jr, even Mimara, are young enough that a solid 20 year jump would make for an interesting band of new characters. Without the jump, especially the first few I mentioned, those players are pretty young and don't seem to fit well into the story.
No copies of TUC in Mallorca (Spain), obviously.
And my Amazon (hardcover) purchase delayed to Augut 11th - fuck, fuck, fuck.
I have just finished my last reread of the whole saga (the slog of slogs, boys) so I'm waiting for TUC like a Skin Eater his dose of qirri.
