--- End quote ---
wives tales are probably reliable given Akka doesn't think them reliable. Akka doesn't have wives tales though, he has something far more removed from such a primary source, he's got millenia of male assumptions, male (mis)interpretations, and male prejudice (and possibly deliberate misinformation) piled up on top of each other in the 'scholarly' tradition of diminishing the judging eye which can only be had by females. If something cannot be possesed by males it cannot have value. If it has obvious value that value must be explained away and diminished.
The mountain of prejudice from which Akka's information emit make it entirely unreliable. And note that Mimara's experiences with the judging eye and her own interpretation of it really don't correspond except in the vaguest of ways with Akka's misinformation.

Great point!

Another clue, to me, that Seswatha is behind the dreams and they are the Truth. They are only fragments that have never been glimpsed before. It seems likely to me that Akka is Seswatha's conduit to these events. He is walking where Seswatha wants, not Kellhus. And he will find the truth.

A major clue to me was also how Akka remarks at the unprecedented nature of the Dreams he was having. How Seswatha's every day, mundane life began creeping into his Dreams. I don't see how or why Kellhus would bother to send that, or would know that stuff. I'm convinced with has been Seswatha all along.

Hmm. Perhaps, but they would have to be Emwama. The chorae were made before the breaking of the gates.

There has also been speculation at one point that the Chorae were made from the uteri of the dead Nonmen women. I have my doubts about all those, but I guess it is plausible.
