Latest blog post reveals Meppa's identity (accidentally)

It has been a while

[locke]

right?  I couldn't believe it when I saw it, sort of like how he offhandedly let slip that Mekeritrig was the nonman from the prologue!

i'm sure hes disappointed in himself.

I can't tell if this is a joke or not.  When I click the link it takes me to YouTube, Rick Astley's "Never Gonna Give You Up."  Now, I'm not much of a Rickroller, so I couldn't get through the whole video.  Am I just not getting it, or...?

*facepalm*

I had thought this unholy weapon destroyed.

You may be the first person I've ever met to actually get that.

So, it's possible that Meppa is using a Cish variation of the sorcery used to disguise one's appearance.  Malo wouldn't be able to tell.
Just saying.

Rick is the Inverse Fire.  It all makes sense now. 

[Borque]

Nah, that guy you called "Rick" is Meppa, worshipping the Inverse Fire with his glorious singing and dancing act. In the video, reflections from the IF can be seen very clearly, on the wall in the evening scenes.

As Scott's first attempt to simultaneously illustrate the terrific movie potential of the Second Apocalypse, give his fans a preview of TUC and clear up all these misconceptions about Meppa, I think it's overall very well executed. Maybe this particular scene is somewhat too spoilerific for some, even though it is very powerful.

Are those women Serwa and Theliopa btw?

Concur. Big +1. I for am horrified by their unbroken gaze towards the Inverse Fire, which we see only reflected .

So, Meppa's name came up in PON (I think it was TTT), in reference to a specific cant known to the Cishaurim.  It was called "the Meppa Cataract" and was mentioned (only once) as being used by the Cish as one of their dispensations of water.

Re-read that part (for a now-postponed art thing), and the Meppa Cataract is actually referenced in amongst the cants of the Scarlet Spires.  D'oh!  As if it wasn't confusing enough already.  Mea culpa.
