Author Q&A / Inchoroi women?
« on: July 06, 2016, 04:42:45 pm »
Hi, Bakker. Prior to their technological advancement, did the Inchoroi procreate through male female sexual interaction or are those penises that the current Inchoroi have later additions? If the former is true, what happened to the women?

Author Q&A / Did the Dûnyain find Ishuäl by accident?
« on: June 25, 2016, 11:00:45 am »
It seems strange that the Dûnyain stumbled onto Ishuäl soon after it was constructed but then no one else did for the next two thousand years.

Was it really an accident or did someone tip them off about its existence?

Author Q&A / What's with the circles on the map of Eärwa?
« on: June 24, 2016, 12:58:01 am »
People have noticed that there are several circles on the map you drew that are similar to the circle around golgotterath. Is there any importance to them? Are they other spaceship crash locations?

Author Q&A / Is there a Psûkhic equivalent to the Cant of Transposition?
« on: June 23, 2016, 04:27:54 am »
Eleäzaras’s recollection of the Cishaurim attack on the Scarlet Spires describes the assassins as having "flickered into existence". Some people have speculated that this is a teleportation similar to the Metagnostic version, or that Moënghus transported the Cishaurim assassins into the Scarlet Spires base magically.

So is there a Psûkhe equivalent to Metagnostic teleportation?

If not, did Moënghus innovate anything with the Psûkhe the way Kellhus did with the Gnosis?

Author Q&A / How [could] Moënghus take the Psukhe without knowing how it worked?
« on: June 23, 2016, 12:29:55 am »
If I remember correctly, Kellhus understood how the Psukhe worked, that it was based on passion, simply by talking to Achamian about it on the road. How is it possible that Moënghus who went to Shimeh and worked with the Fanim could not understand how it worked before he agreed to have his eyes removed? Makes little sense for a Dunyain to agree to have his eyes plucked out so carelessly.

Author Q&A / Kellhus' dream on the Circumfix
« on: June 22, 2016, 02:17:22 am »
After all these years I've yet to see any remotely convincing explanation either here or on Westeros for what that dream is supposed to mean (someone correct me if I'm wrong)... Only post I found that even discussed it in-depth is this, but I'm not sure that I buy it. http://asoiaf.westeros.org/index.php?/topic/127040-bakker-xxxv-tyrant-of-rat-nation-worshipped-as-rat-of-rats/&do=findComment&comment=6949890

Is there any comment that you can make on this?

Neuropath / Neuropath Kindle version (amazon.com)
« on: April 02, 2015, 11:59:16 am »
Has anyone bought the Kindle version of Neuropath from the amazon US store? Because I just did and... didn't this book have sections written entirely in italics preceding every chapter? Including at the very beginning of the book? Because I seem to be missing all of them.

General Q&A / Proyas's mother [Q&A]
« on: October 20, 2014, 12:58:55 pm »
Hello all,

Rereading TDTCB I noticed this from Achamian's perspective,

Quote
Over 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?

General Q&A / The Sohonc and the Mangaecca [Q&A]
« on: August 19, 2014, 09:18:28 am »
Where were those two schools based initially? The Sohonc was at Suaglish and the Mangaecca (before Golgotterath) in Tryse? And is it true that the Library of Sauglish was in the hands of the Sohonc?
