We find out which prophecies are false and which are true.
“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,

Taken from the "Crazy Speculation Only" thread:

3. Kellhus will return to the Ordeal with Kelmomas (to keep him in hand) and Meppa (because Water).  Esme will stay behind to look after TTS.

Mimara will look upon Kellhus and he will be Damned!!!

Kellhus becomes the Solitary God is my prediction.

The Great Ordeal is broken and destroyed at Golgotteroth. Achamian stands before the devastation, witnesses legions of Sranc defiling the corpses of the men of the Ordeal. Finally, in waking life, he sees his dreams come true...

The No-God reborn.

TELL ME...

The dread voice, screamed through the throats of a thousand thousand Sranc. The world is doomed. The Heron Spear is lost. The Ordeal has failed. The Three Seas lies in chaos, completely unprepared from the doom that is soon to come upon them. Utterly defeated, Achamian falls to his knees in despair...

DO YOU REMEMBER WHEN I SAID YOU WOULD KNEEL?

Shite, only one per person.

Haha, dude.

Kellhus becomes the Solitary God is my prediction.

In fairness H, I deleted my posts. Last year was 10 per person.

I was quick off the gun, I didn't recall that though because I wasn't in that thread last year.

Aw, don't delete posts.

MG did write that you can post as much as you want, your name only gets one chance. That was my small request to differ from last year's running.

I expect Mimara to behold Kellhus, and she will see that he is damned. There will be a point about this in the book where the truthfulness of her judgement will be disputed; the judging eye reflects the judgement of the gods, whom naturally hate Kellhus. Akka will realize this and also realize the folly of his quest; the question still stands. is Kellhus good or evil?

I expect meppa to play an important part somehow. I read somewhere that magic in Earwa is like the following: the gnosis is like speaking in concrete words (it is easy to convey meaning), the anagosis is equivalent to the abstract usage of language, harder to convey meaning and thus less powerful than the gnosis whereas the water is pure emotion. All of these three parts are pivotal in our ways of communicating and im sure they will have to be wielded in common to stop the dread might of the consult!!
