Teus is just a short form of Thanteus, though that is a strange thing to do for a family name.

I thought that too, just seems weird that it's the only instance in the entire series I can remember where the dimunuitive has been derived from their family name.

Proyas - Prosha
Cnaiur - Nayu
Achamian - Akka
Esmenet - Esmi
Mimara - Mim
Eskeles - ...Teus?

Are the swords Alimir and Pitiril meant to be the same sword or tragic misnaming by the Non-men? Not sure if it was mentioned.

Alimir - "Divider" (Ihrimsu). The legendary enscrolled sword of the Kuniuric High-Kings, famed for possessing the Edge Peerless, and when wielded with skill, capable of halving mammoths. Lost at the Battle Eleneot with Anasurimbor Kelmomas in 2146.
Pitiril - Divider (Ihrimsu). Enscrolled blade belonging to the Ishroi Hero Oirinas, lost as the Battle of Pir-Minginnial.

Alimir has been confused with Glimir as it's called in TGO, and is an oversight. It's Celmomas' sword.

Pitiril is the one wielded by the Inversi, and it's cuts through a shield like paper.

Very similar, but I think Glimir/Alimir is like a buffed version, it seems to have extended range. A bit like the Ivory King if you're familiar with Dark Souls.

Is there any particular reason the character list was excluded for TUC?

I was hoping we'd have one mapping out who comprised each of the contingents, Trials. Seemed like a good chance to lay out the roster for who would be in the Ordeal, given that a few new names appear, Grimmel etc.

And is in just me, or was the what comes before significantly shorter than previous entries?

I'm under the impression that her replacement was relatively recent. Her glossary entry in TTT doesn't give a death date which should indicate her death takes place during the book.

For example, the Cutias Sarcellus entry lists his death as 4099, more than 10 years before the beginning of the holy war.

It's possible the death date wasn't included as a spoiler, but the characters who died in TTT entries were lifted straight from one glossary to the other, TAE doesn't shed any more light on it

Oh I'd totally forgot about the Excutiata, I've added it to the Q&A thread.

I read it before I'd reached Golgotterath in the book and was waiting for it to be reffered.

So it's a ceiling fresco, literally an upside down painting of hell. A literal Inverse Fire in the most holy place of the Consult, and a matching one in one of the most holy human places.

The part that really gets me wondering is that it's based on pre-Arkfall Nonmen statues, long before the Ark or Inverse Fire came about...

Interesting parallel to the Tall, if Aurax and Aurang shrank. Instead of growing as a result of great deeds they shrank from depraved ones? Unlikely but I like the idea of it.

Maybe Ciolgi wasn't Tall yet?

And surely a soggmant suit of armor or at least some soggomant mail would have served him better?

God I wish there was a EG entry on the Tall. Before TUC, I had a theory that it was the result of some mutation of the initial Innoculation, and made some Nonmen grow as a result.

I missed have missed the part in the glossary about his stuff being immune to Chorae.

And nope, no entry on Cinderswords.

Is there any hopes for a further edited Glossary in future printings? While I loved reading it, all the character entries from TTT are lifted with no death dates added and there are loads of things I looked forward to looking up in the Glossary but alas, were nowhere to be found. Some I had hoped for, an entry on the Tall, the Cinderswords.

And is Glimir and Alamir the same sword? It's described as the High-King's sword, spelt as Kelmomas, and matches Glimir's description from TGO.

There's an entry on the finger locking handshake of Boonsmen...but not one on Boonsmen.

It's still my favourite series...that's why I'm so pedantic.
