--- Quote --- “I live!” Ikurei Conphas cried one more time, only to hear nothing above the crack and thunder of sorcerous battle, both near and far. No resounding cheer, no individual shouts of relief or acclaim. They couldn't see him – that was it! They mistook him for one of their own. For a man...

He sees the horsemen getting closer. A voice shouts from their midst that 'there are no more nations'. They bear the Circumfix banner, and the Red Lion – Saubon. And they charge him. The Nansur will not fight – perhaps they cannot.
--- Quote ---He saw the broadsword that took his head

Eleazaras advance on Seokti the Heresiarch of the Cishaurim- his arch-enemy. He shout out the most powerful of the Great Anaologies. He will avenge Sasheoka.
But there is more than one Cishaurim present.
--- Quote ---The Grandmaster of the Scarlet Spires grunted, cursed. Jets of incandescence exploded through his Wards, immolating his left arm even as he screamed deeper defences. A fissure opened before him. Light blew across his scalp and brow. Like a doll, he was thrown backward.
His corpse toppled into the burning tracts below.

Killed by their own pride and arrogance
--- Quote ---“Set aside your conviction”, Moenghus said, “for the feeling of certainty is no more a marker of truth than the feeling of will is a marker of freedom. Deceived men always think themselves certain, just as they always think themselves free. This is simply what it means to be deceived.

They thought they were something they were not - something more. Take note, Kellhus.

--- Quote from: TheCulminatingApe on March 19, 2019, 09:07:29 pm ---The Men of the Tusk are enveloped by Fanim all along the length of the aqueduct outside Shimeh. The Shrial Knights charge – they have conviction and fury, but not numbers. Gotian falls as the Knights sign hymns.
Then the Nansur arrive from the west. The Inrithi cheer. So do the Fanim – they think allies are here, but some notice unexpected banners.
--- Quote ---This wasn't the treachery of an Emperor – an Ikurei – come to seal a pact with their Padirajah. The hated standard of the Exalt-General, with its distinctive Kyranean disc, was nowhere to be seen.
No. This wasn't Ikurei Conphas. It was the Blond Beast...
King Saubon.

The Fanim withdraw. The Holy War follows.

Another Tolkien reference? The Pelennor Fields - specifically the arrival of the 'corsair ships'

--- Quote ---”Would you like to know a secret?” A thin voice cooed. The miniature face grinned, as though finding unexpected pleasure in playing a half-hearted game.
Too numb to be terrified, the young boy nodded, clutched tight the salt that would be his fortune.
“Come closer”

I don't think we ever find out what this is all about, do we? What is the secret?
Redeagl:
There were a number of these mysterious scenes in TTT. Maybe they prove relevant in TNG, but most probably they aren't very relevant.
Dora Vee:
"The Cnaiur and Proyas 'father-son' relationship never really goes anywhere, does it? A wasted plot arc?"
That's how I see it. :(
