I'd like "measure is unceasing"

Right, and also just remembered Maitha went to Atyersus to collect the Mandate before heading to Shimeh. Maybe Akka was a happy accident, but I believe delivering the Mandate to Kellhus was always in the plan.
my favorite quote of her's on ZTS went something like, "it really sucks to have a completely self contained and textual reinforced theory completely destroyed by something the author says outside the books.
I loved her theory that Kellhus goes back in time and the 3rd trilogy is called The first Apocalypse. Hence the secrecy about it's name. It could explain the changing dreams of Akka
Now it seems there might not even be a third trilogy, which makes all the hours speculating its' name moot now. Since RSB says TUC finishes his original story.
Why was there so much speculation about the name of the third triology when there is no need for one to finish the original story?
Nerdanel said that first! Gall. I've been pushing someone else's conception with my own... nerdanels!
themerchant, I definitely think that the comment he made that inspired this "finished story" kind of thought process in fans rather suggested that he had an original teenage spark and he's finishing that with TUC. However, it seems very much like the idea grew beyond that in intervening years. TSTSNBN is definitely still coming and satisfies what Bakker seems to think is an intractable (neh, impossible) problem. My personal guess is that the 'seed idea' was some kind of moral problem within dogmatic religious constraints that Bakker couldn't see himself around then. Probably, following that at some point, he decided he had learned enough to attempt solving (or validating) the issue he thinks he's highlighting?
But pure and rampant speculation based on absolutely no real information. So grain of salt.
