Why didn't the Consult equip their dragons with Chorae?

Westeros (which still likely gets more posts and proportionately more views than this entire forum does).Not necessarily true, I think. Bakker activity there is in one thread. Here, it's spread out and nicely spread out over all the topics. There is a lot more repetition of themes and questions there.
Started on Gardens of the moon, by Steven Erikson. Wish me luck on the slog of slogsGood luck!
I mean, the Mandate and Swayal at least dream the Dreams to corroborate some of it.But Seswatha selected, and possibly edited, the dreams too. So nothing is certain.
Checked the appendix now. It is the Isûphiryas. It's in the Isûphiryas entry.Yes. Yes, he could have. I like this idea.
Only, it was the Isûphiryas and not the Sagas that he saved a copy of. Which means that he possibly has rewritten ancient Nonman history, not his own.
If that is so, there's an error on the wiki timeline online. That's where I stumbled upon this, and it said that it was The Sagas. Anyone got their TTT appendix handy to clarify?
Supposedly all of the copies of The Sagas were at Sauglish, and all but one were destroyed when the city was sacked. The one that was not was delivered by Seswatha to the scribes of the Three Seas. Uh...could not Seswatha have written history how he wanted on his journey?Yes. Yes, he could have. I like this idea.
Yes. If the Consult managed to convince them that Nil'G lied, for example by letting them send an Intact Ishterebinthian over to take a look at the IF for himself, that would do the trick.As I said, the "why", the reason Ishterebinth has turned, will be key.
No thoughts on this then, Borque:If they have wholesale joined the Consult, in my mind, and Nil'giccas left because of their decision, then it is because someone has told them the "truth" of the Inverse Fire.I think that is the only reason the Intact would turn and the only reason other than greater trauma that the Erratics would turn.
I think it had changed names before Cil-Aujas fell. If the PoN Timeline wikia page at http://princeofnothing.wikia.com/wiki/Timeline is correct (can't check the TTT appendix myself atm) it changed names even before Mog-Pharau was summoned (see entry for year 2132).On another note, I hope Scott provides an explanation for why Ishoriöl changed name to Ishterebinth. Dunno why I'm so curious about that one, but this question keeps bothering me for some reason.
Probably when Ishoriol became the Last of the Mansions after the Apocalypse and the loss of Cil-Aujus. Then "Exalted Hall" becomes "Exalted Stronghold?"
I like this whole post. Unfortunately I agree with pretty much all of it so I don't have much else to say.Thanks. I'm of course not 100% convinced this is how things will turn out, but I consider this is a very probable, though tragic and depressing, outcome.
