General Earwa / Re: TSA related art and stuff. (VI)
« on: July 16, 2016, 03:58:54 am »
Does anyone have high quality covers from the first books ( I am talking about the buildings, not faces) 
 
Does anyone have this: http://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/princeofnothing/images/f/f4/Warrior_Prophet.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20140319114236 ( warrior prophet cover) without the weird collors ?

1) this is something from previous books...but why did the consult kill the emperor and his mother? What was the point? With him alive Kelhus' conquest would have been harder, no? 
 
2)Did the Consult intervene in the Unification Wars? Where they working against Kellhus' ambition or just "camping"? 
 
3)What "bad thing" happened during the unification wars? I remember a couple of characters mentioning this event, but I don't know what it is. 
 
4)Why did Saubon die? was that the plan all along? Didn't Kellhus know he was in Danger there? 
 
5)why did he rape the general? 
 
6)What's up with the "tall" nonmen? are they simply giants? or is there something more here? 
 
7)And the one "revelation" I didn't like...was the Dunyain reading souls. What was the point of all this training if they can just "read" souls? Or is this something only Kellhus(dunyain schoolman) can do ? 
 
Did he start out noticing expressions and slowly started seeing souls? if so, why can't he "turn it of" ans simply see sorweels deception? Am I being deceived yet again? this doesn't make sense to me...

Author Q&A / Re: Dunyain children, the math doesn't add up.
« on: July 11, 2016, 12:03:24 am »
sure, I listed the maximum possible number...however something between 500 and 1500 women in 20 years is realistic for an Emperor. 
 
Didn't know that about Moengus, 30 years? Didn't know it's that long... 
 
Still, thanks for the answer. I see there must be something about Esmenet...maybe we will find out :)

Author Q&A / Dunyain children, the math doesn't add up.
« on: July 10, 2016, 03:57:42 pm »
Is there something fishy happening here? Kellhus is an Emperor, in the 20 years time skip why didn't he have more children ? Is there something special about Esmenet? Because the math doesn't add up... 20 years, that's 7300 days. Theoretically he could have sex each day, he is Dunyain after all, it would only take a few minutes. He also has an unlimited amount of girls, heck, he could even only have sex when they are most fertile... 
 
Even if the chances are 1 in 1000, it's impossible for him to NOT have other children if he really wanted to. Am I missing something or are we deceived ?

Author Q&A / Question about Dunyain feelings/instincts
« on: July 10, 2016, 02:13:13 pm »
Wouldn't it make more sense for them to control feelings instead of abolish them? I mean, being 100% logical is not easy, it took them two thousand years and they didn't accomplish it. Why not act as if feelings/instincts are 100% natural in need of absolute control? 
 
The difference would be simple, instead of fighting constantly against their humanity, they could simply build a wall around it. This way each Dunyain monk would "listen to his body" and enjoy himself when the time comes. Of course this would all be  structured. For example, he could only have sex once every few weeks, or months, when he decides it's the best time for it, when it makes more sense to embrace and weaken the impulse than fight it....and after that's out of the way he can go back to doing what he does. 
 
Of course in time these temptations would be there, but weaker and weaker. Using the same breeding methods they could improve themselves in time... 
 
Does this make any sense? I tried to write this post a few times but I always ended up rambling too much...

Author Q&A / How do the Dunyain view and experience pleasure?
« on: July 10, 2016, 02:05:23 pm »
this is a question about the inner workings of the Dunyain. They changed a lot, but they are still human, I assume sex,good food etc are still pleasurable. 
 
Does the Dunyain monk spend every moment denying desire and feelings? Is this like a war going inside his head? When something pleasurable happens,does his effort intensify?   
 
This is something I never understood about them.

Author Q&A / Different races power levels?
« on: June 23, 2016, 04:14:08 pm »
So we can assume that humans are the same as in our world. How do the others relate?  It's something I find very hard to visualize. 
 
I don't know, could an average Ishroi kill a skinspy in single combat? Could he kill a Bashrag or an Inchoroi? 
 
When it comes to magic, things are clearer though, so that's good.

Author Q&A / Thoughts on adaptations?
« on: June 23, 2016, 12:21:14 pm »
Do you imagine the series being adapted, if yes, how do you see it ? TV series? movie? Animation?Comic books? 
 
Lets assume there's enough talent and money to make a truly great product.What would you like to see?

Author Q&A / What did the Consult do after the first apocalypse?
« on: June 23, 2016, 12:19:50 pm »
This is one of the few things that didn't make much sense to me...Maybe it's something to be explored in the future? 
 
So after the first apocalypse, what do the Consult do? I had an impression they went into hiding, but then I remember they only dissapeared like 300 years ago. 
 
I have read the timeline(http://princeofnothing.wikia.com/wiki/Timeline) And there's no mention of them for almost 2000 years. Where they hiding the whole time?

Author Q&A / Re: How many books are planned?
« on: June 23, 2016, 12:14:24 pm »
thank you! I know this question is for the future...but why did you choose 2 books? Do you have some clever plan to structure the story? Or will these books be longer than usual ? 
 
A lot of authors have trouble ending the story the right way, it's probably not an easy thing to do.

Author Q&A / How many books are planned?
« on: June 21, 2016, 07:37:18 pm »
A couple of questions here!: 
 
1)First we had 3, then 4, how many books in the last series? 
2)Any planned books/series before? ( I see this was answered)
3)Any books planned durring ? So like a side novel/series set somewhere else during the main events of the second apocalypse. 
4)Any books after? This might be a spoiler( maybe there will be no after) 
5)Any books on the Inchoroi home world?

The Thousandfold Thought / Re: Favorite Scenes
« on: March 12, 2016, 02:36:21 am »
My favorite scene, and in my mind the most terrifying scene in the books is with Kellhus talking to Cnaiur before meeting with the holy war. He says something like: 
 
"we will come to them from the darkness,we will be whatever we say we are" 
 
It's just simple and beautiful, an amazing scene.
