Have at it, people 8).
What he means is open spoilers for the current discussion happening regarding TGO and the associated press releases, spoilers from Pat, future releases of excerpts, and discussion or questions related to the above brought up on other forums/media.  No spoilers in topic titles.

Those few who have an ARC or who will otherwise be able to read TGO before the July release: until the official release, please  use spoiler tags.
One of the other conditions of possibility.

Those who have ARC's and such, take a page from Madness's book, SILENCE IS GOLDEN!!!!. Revel in your Unholiness all you want, just if you spoil me, I WILL MURDER THE WORLD TO FIND YOU!!!!!!!

There, you have been warned. These mistakes WILL beg the knife, not the cloth. Pat has went a little to far over at Westeros for my liking. I will add zero smiley faces to this.

I am the Breaker of Spoilers!!!!!!!
“No. I am your end. Before your eyes I will put your seed to the knife. I will quarter your carcass and feed it to the dogs. Your bones I will grind to dust and cast to the winds. I will strike down those who speak your name or the name of your fathers, until ‘Yursalka’ becomes as meaningless as infant babble. I will blot you out, hunt down your every trace! The track of your life has come to me,

Kellhus POV??!  but won't that shoot down the theory of Kellhus being one of the Consult ?! Or will we get it very briefly and will not delve into his mind?!

Also interesting:

Quote
The Ishuäl storyline features the POVs of Achamian, Mimara, and another character which must remain anonymous for now.

Maybe a Dunyain who survived the attack?  A Dunyain woman, perhaps?

Lmao - you will not have impressions from my fractured mind any longer. I just like that sentence.

I previously said there was no such thing.

It'll be interesting to see what it is as it would mean it was something Bakker saw as a necessary addition to what Madness read.

I just can't believe that Madness would deceive us!

After pondering this a bit, the other character might be Mekeritrig.   Consider:

1. He was wandering around the Demua mountains before, why not now?

2. The Shae "where is the Heron Spear" question in the dream connects to Mekeritrig being the one who stole it from the Nonmen in the first place and the one who tortures Seswatha to find the location.

Most likely Moenghus. He's the All-Thing.

Female Dunyain would be my guess, Kellhus's Daughter.
