Considering all that scary circus just before the situation (I've finished TUC few minutes ago), it seems(click to show/hide)
Was Cnaiur there? I thought it was him that noticed less birds over there camp, and when him and Proyas rushed to see, Gotian Saubon etc had already marched.No, he wasn't, I've mixed Kyudea and Mengedda. Shame on me.
If Cnaiur diesI had an impression he died at Mengedda and now, in terms of rariry and paradox, is akin to skinspy mage.
The Mandate tutor many, many students, primarily the sons of wealthy, powerful men. The powerful and wealthy have sons who are heirs. Proyas is not special in that regard.The accent was more on Achamian, less on a mandate. Guy bedded an empress when she was a whore and befriended the last king of Nonman when he was, kinda, a mumbling guide. I see a blind agent of Anangke spilling grey luck all over his unsuspecting kith. :3
And what of Judgement? I presume you mean that in a religious context.Nope, in a secular. Like, a quite common asshat attitude. Proyas is especially talented at inflicting his opinion -- good quality for a duniyain instrument.
but Kellhus could have done the same with anyoneBut wood is different from iron & bone? Proyas is a rare soul -- was tutored by Drusas Achamian, an heir to Conriya throne, a man in strong need of absolute truth and strong judgement. I mean, even duniyains have limits, they have to work with what they have.
Anybody else glad that nin'janjin got his revenge at the end and that cujara got 'shafted' so to speak. Like honestly Cujara is kind of the architect of his own race's demise.Dunno if it's "engineer@prometeus" aestethics with all their marble skin and perfection, but cunuroi always looked to me like an equivalent of olympian gods. Where ciphrangs are titans and inchoroi reside among chtonic monsters, nonmen are humans exaggerated in everything.
The choice for the verb "to be a name" rather than the usual "to have a name" is the choice of words I find peculiar. It suggests power/ strength/ something worth remembering, rather than just an identifier.It corresponds nicely with Kellhus words from TGO, btw.
Also, Kellhus himself tells the Nonman his name. The Nonman only corroborates the fact by comparing his face with one of the trophies.Aw, my bad. And also a occasion to reread trilogies with the knowledge of TGO.
Quote from: TPoN prelude“Extraordinary,” the stranger said, then looked to him. Kellhus could see the glitter of his eyes beneath the brow of his helm. “You must be a name.”The choice of words uttered is peculiar.
Maybe that is where the first Anasurimbor comes from, Jiricet was the father of the Twoheart.This.
Especially if the idea that the Inverse Fire might keep the Nonmen somewhat intact.I like that idea. Time to parasitize on it! Without measure and in a big way!
