I hope so very much too, Nskoghar... So much Dune to riff off of with Dunyain women.

Just realized that this is probably another PC trope that Bakker was subverting by making the Dûnyain women nothing more than broodmares.

I always took the 'their' in question here to mean the 'Ketyai's'. It doesn't make sense for the Tusk to contain the Inchoroi's most hallowed laws and revered stories, if it did, they shouldn't be surprised to find themselves damned.

Well, the communication could have happened when there were more than just two Inchoroi?

I think you're right, after all, how could the two Inchoroi who were stuck in the Ark until the Shae/Mek broke the glamour have communicated with the Men of Eänna? But this is something that I find a bit confusing, IIRC Bakker said on TSF that the Tusk came a few thousand years after the landing. Given that the landing and Womb Plague both happened in Cujara's lifetime, and that the Inchoroi were Annihilated 500 years after the Womb Plague, the timeline wouldn't make sense unless the Tusk came when there were only two Inchoroi left, no?

Speaking of Dunyain women. I thought this comment from Bakker was very interesting,

I'm afraid the mystery of the 'Dunyain feminine' doesn't come to the fore until The Aspect-Emperor...

I've seen speculation that he was referring to Kellhus's children here, but I disagree, I think there is a reveal coming concerning Dunyain women now that Achamian and Mimara are in Ishual.

Gonna do what I can to keep this thread alive, so here's my latest offering...  I'm working on a more sketchy, sort of concept-type art style.  Hope you enjoy.

Amazing. I don't even see a problem with the size; we have reports of people breaking dragon necks with their bare hands IIRC. Which, even at this size sounds like a stretch, any bigger and it becomes a joke.

Something from Threeseas I don't get,

The issue of the Chorae threshold is also broached in TWP. There is, however, a limited grey zone, consisting of arcane keys, ciphers, and so on, which one of the Few can utter without suffering the bruise or Mark of sorcery. It's the Mark that determines whom the Chorae can kill. If one of the Few can recognize you, then so can those accursed Trinkets.

Is this a continuity issue? Sounds like a Cishaurim should not be affected by Chorae.

My two cents, keep everything as it is but add the 'General Earwa' section to the top of Earwa. And since this is going to include discussion and spoilers for all published works (including Atrocity Tales), you might wanna get rid of the Atrocity Tale forum since it only has a few threads and a whole forum for two short stories seems too much to be honest.

So,

General
News/Announcements
-- Introduce Yourself
Misc. Chatter
-- Subs as they are.

Earwa
General (Earwa)
Trilogy divisions as they are now
-- Book divisions as they are now

Other titles
-- Book subforums as they are now

Or if you don't care for any of that I support the order that Madness suggested of having 'Other titles' below the Earwa section. Just makes more sense to me to have Bakker's works following each other.

All the members you quoted there that I listed are of the Few. That's still a lot of members of one lineage, from two random couple pairings of Dunyain and worldborn to produce Few children.

Can you point me to where we're told that Kelmomas is one of the Few? Not that I disagree with the point that you're making.

au = separate into 2 syllables, like ah-oo (oo like moon and spoon)

ai = long i sound

You're not making a distinction between 'au' and 'aü'? The first one I think is pronounced 'oh' (as in Aurang = oh-rang), the second is as you've highlighted, although I can't think of any word from the books that applies now.

'ai' is also pronounced the same as air, unless there is a diaeresis on the i. So 'Imperial Sake', 'my-sun-say', and 'ai-no-nigh'.

That's as far as I know. There might be exceptions though.

Some other words that I disagree with the pronunciation of (although I'm not sure why, just sounds better to me)

Kyranean = Kigh-ray-ni-en

Kûniüric = Koo-nigh-yoo-rick (koo with a short sound)

Ikurei = eye-koo-rey

Istriya = Es-trigh-yah

Xerius = Ze-righ-us

Conriya = Con-righ-yah

Xinemus = Zigh-nee-mus

Eärwa = eh-yar-wah

Eänna = eh-yah-nah

The 'û' = 'moon' sounds weird to me in every words except Psûkhe. That's why I pronounce Dûnyain with a short u sound, not a long one, the same with Isûphiryas regardless of what the book says.
