The Almanac: PON Edition / Re: TDTCB, PRLG
« on: January 03, 2014, 04:07:28 am »
Was reading the prologue and found this line interesting
page 17 TDTCB english small edition
"But what had come before, the Dunyain had learned, was inhuman"

minor world building spoilers maybe:
(click to show/hide)

Is he implying that the ebb and flow of all history were set in motion by brainless animals and inert rocks... How can the Dunyain complete there holy mission if they have to come before such things as this?

I'll not turn this into a thread about what the goal of TTT was, but yes that is one interpretation. Pretty much the war probably would have never marched without a school to protect them, so yeah they needed some kick in the ass to get going. That would be why Moenghus orchestrated that attack, yes.

He did? I can't remember why he told anyone about Skios (sp), but aside from that he didn't let anyone know what he had seen other spies around. Hell he tried to hide the first death of Sarcellus. He only revealed his true nature once he realized it was the only real way to get rid of him. I seem to recall him keeping it a secret rather well, is that wrong?

Triskele that's something I have not thought of before. Its definitely and interesting idea that makes sense given what we do and don't know.

I'm curious though: Would there be any reason for the Scylvendi would have been lead by Nau-Cayuti? Or, further still, reason for them to refer toany man as a God? Certainly they worrship war and have had many great leaders, but what would raise one to God-hood in Scylvendi culture?

Now I'm afraid to look it up for fear of putting on a dunce cap and being sent to the corner.

I have a lot less time to indulge my many hobbies besides reading and excercise since we launched a biotech start up in june of this year; and we work weekends.

What's it called, what do you make/do, and where at? If you don't mind my asking. Hope you get it off the ground.

A great summary, as always. Makes me want to go back and read it again. I probably would start right now if I knew who I gave the book too last.

A fair point I suppose. I forgot that all them blind folk see things they shouldn't. Probably odd to see a human without a soul.

I find it hard to imagine that Moenghus Sr. found the first skin-spy and just let everyone know about it all careless like. I don't subscribe to the meta-moenghus theories, but even still, that seems like quite the blunder leaving an unknown just laying around for anyone to see.
Repercussions indeed. Maybe he planned on winning the war until they forced a school to march?

I don't know what his goals might be, but the Christian church would see him as the anti-christ and try to kill him (which reminds me ever so much of the 100...).

I'm sure he'd pick a major religion and wield it like a sword, causing world wide calamity until he ruled it all.
Though that's a bit unimaginative. Probably just as easy for someone like that to conquer the world with economics and money so as to not put one's self in harms way. Crime seems inevitable though. Its just so much easier to get to the top when you aren't restricted by things like "laws" and "morality".

Maybe this portal thing was a group effort to open the door, and it took an immense amount of time and effort... Still though that doesn't explain why we never see their special door show up. Seems like a nifty hit-and-run tactic. I do still think Moe was behind it, either directly or in some roundabout fashion.

I really like these. Whatever you're doing, keep doing it. Your stuff really captures the SA feel.

This is described as a "space filling curve". So I suppose the Glamor could have been some kind of fractal construct resembling this... or not. This is the only time I've ever really seen that description though.
