Hello all,
Rereading TDTCB I noticed this from Achamian's perspective,QuoteOver the four years he had spent as court tutor in the Conriyan capital of Aöknyssus, Achamian had fallen in love with the boy—even more than with his legendary mother.
Does anyone recall if she was ever mentioned again in the series?
I am in the midst of rereading the Thousandfold Thought and came across this other mention of Proyas mother.
It is Chapter 4 (kind of a weird chapter since it includes the emperor being killed by his mother, the orphan Hertata being taken by slavers in Summa [what the hell was that about]). DA is reflecting on how things have changed since Kellhus has taken over the Holy War and remarks
"On one occasion, after Esmenet's palfrey was lamed while descending a precarious switchback trail in the Enathpanean hills, Achamian watched as some dozen knights offered to give her their chargers - something tantamount to giving her their honour, since their mounts were their means of waging war. Achamian had witnessed much the same while accompanying Proyas and his mother to her dowager estates in Anplei."
lol MG that was a pretty big leap.
“Tell me, Drusas Achamian, how is it that after all these years you still find yourself in the field, hmm? Did you offend someone? Nautzera, perhaps? Or did you bugger Proyas as a boy? Is that why House Nersei sent you packing those years ago?”
Just noticed this from when Achamian meets Eleazaras,Quote“Tell me, Drusas Achamian, how is it that after all these years you still find yourself in the field, hmm? Did you offend someone?

Could this have had anything to do with Proyas’ mamma? Perhas it’s only Akka’s affection for her that makes her legendary in his eyes.

It seems like she's sharing her type of legendarity with Hanalinqû.Quoteeven more than with his legendary mother.
