Aurang at Shimeh
What Came Before:
--- Quote from: jogrady ---Just finished reread of TTT. Truly cant remember if these following questions have been answered in the JE/WLW (will begin reread of those soon).
Who is the boy Aurang speaks with in the ruins of the city? What is the secret? Is he recruiting for the coming war?
Cnaiur contemplates his Final swazond but appears to shed his despair quickly as he looks upon SS serwe. Has RSB stated Cnaiurs part is over? If so, could he be reborn as a Consult leader under a new guise? Would the Consult just let him die?
--- End quote ---
What Came Before:
--- Quote from: Mog Kellhus ---I also wonder about the scene with the boy. It could just remind us that the Consult is still watching despite the end of the Holy War and of course there is always emphasis to its evil and perverted nature.But i am not so sure..
About Cnaiur i believe Bakker said that his story arc is over and so i assume that he indeed commited suicide. After killing Moe he did not really had any other purpose.....I really miss him, such an interesting character to read about!!!

What Came Before:
--- Quote from: The Sharmat ---The only other purpose I could see for him would be killing Kellhus. Suspect he's just dead though.
I really feel that Aurang's final scene did have some special significance, but I can't be certain. It could very well have just been meant as a reminder.

I think this is the most likely thing. Consult just perverts. BUT, what about the dead not escaping the plate? That's the one quote that's got me musing on the Inchoroi's motivation. Why risk death and damnation when you already live forever? Do they think they can reverse the thing? Would getting Sil back (or whoever, Aurang's first girlfriend) be motivation enough to fight the long long war?
The Sharmat:
The Inchoroi are immortal, not invincible. Given an infinite span of time, the probability of their death approaches one.
Immortals take a long view by necessity. The only way to be certain is to shut off the outside. At least then when they die they'll have oblivion, instead of eternal agony.
