By the way, what is 'nerdanel'?

This is how I know you've been lurking for a while :P, welcome aboard. Like Madness said, nerdanel is synonymous with crackpot theory. I just stick with crackpot though, since I he was before my time.

Feel free to post you thoughts. Some of us might seem to have had a head start, but we're probably running in the wrong direction.

the way I exercise drawing with my hands.

'splain.

I'm a communicative asshole who feels like pushing their strange brand of communicating onto everyone?

i wish this conversation happened in real life. made me laugh regardless though.

Quote from: Wilshire
The vision that Celmomas has of the sun, light, twilight, and darkness, is almost like an inversion of reality. The sun is not flaring, the light is fading not rising.

This, combined with how he says 'his son' has seized the sun and is riding through the hearts of all people and his rallying them, fighting for them, this kind of thing. Now, we know that the No-God is felt in the hearts of everyone, but this effect is, again, the opposite.

Perhaps there is some credence to the theory regarding NC = No-God. If you take all Celmomas's descriptions as more or less opposite, then he is basically saying that his son has become the no-sun, is riding against them, and is casing all to feel no-hope.
This is the quote :P

I think it was wilshere who alluded to Nau-Cayatu possibly being the no-god, and that Celmomas was perhaps seeing things inversely while dying (setting sun flaring etc). What if his prophecy is similarly affected? What if the return of the anasurimbor is actually the return of Nau-Cayatu as the No-God? This could mean that the resurrection of Mog is inevitable, which may also have implications for the role of Seswatha and his 'burden/worlds end' fate.


I suppose its possible that NC isn't dead yet, but I find that hard to believe, unless he is being preserved a la Shae's method. It could be that only his soul can be used and that if/when the No-God walks again, it will be NC's soul re-captured.

Since only demonic (as opposed to angelic) Ciphrang can be summoned and trapped in the World, practitioners of the Daimos can never trust the reports they receive: the so-called Damnation Archives in the Scarlet Spires are rumoured to be filled with wild contradictions. The Damned themselves only know that they are damned, and never why.

Alright well I'm out then. I will think this is just purposely tricky wording. There is no positive proof that angelic ciphrang exist. Its the parenthesis that do it in for me. Because of that, it reads more like an ironic thought (how the hell can you have an angelic rape demon?), rather than an admission of something new we haven't heard of. One cannot speculate as a nay-sayer, so I'll just watch.

I've considered playing them, but extrodinarily difficult games are not always my style. I like a challenge but I've heard so many complaints about this game that I'm skeptical. I don't want to spent 100 hours playing a game I end up hating :P.

EkyannusIII might have meant the still born birth thing when the no-god walked. Womb plague would seem to semantically make sense.

Sound reasoning, but that doesn't make them impossible to summon, but not by the Diamos. The cish, or i guess at this point Meppa, could then still theoretically summon one. "Can't" and "very unlikely" are not the same.

btw can you link/quote where Bakker confirmed their existence?

The Nonmen were the ones who banned the Aporos correct? That fits into your theory.

Though I'd like to point out that the Javreh warrior-slaves captains where given chorae.

I must admit, I slogged through the first book at first, but somhow at the end, when the skinspy was revealed and the Holy War marches against Shimeh, I was hooked.

This exactly.
When all the characters and stories converged near the end, I had this overwhelming feeling of awe. From that point forward I couldn't stop.

Welcome back to the Slog.

I'm sure you're notorious considering all your old posts were moved and quoted in this place.

Welcome back, brethren. So glad you've remembered yourself... and returned Intact!
Might the Erratic mind see the fractured return of their once great brethren as the return of the whole?
 We know not what we have forgotten.

I love your depictions of the Gnosis.

ETA: Hah, Quin, I've wondered before if anyone else interpreted Certainty as being a sort of katana-esque weapon. Seemed to fit with the style of the Dunyain for some reason (in my head, anyway).


Is there another sword that someone as noble as Kellhus would wield? Not picturing him with a huge broadsword lol.
Awesome Wracu btw.
