The Emperor noted Kellhus's interest and had Skeaös seized and interrogated. In this way, the Emperor came to learn of the existence of the skin-spies, and that the mad old stories of the Mandate may have some truth to them."<br /><br />Achamian didn't even mention the Consult as he knew everybody would scoff at his delusions. The Emperor and the others present were sure the skin-spy was part of a Cishaurim ploy. Who else?<br /><br /><br />"Elsewhere on the field the Scarlet Spires, driven into an enraged frenzy to avenge their slain Grandmaster, drove the Cishaurim to the brink of defeat, aided by the late-arriving Imperial Saik."<br /><br />It's in fact the other way around: The Cishaurim were vastly superior to the Scarlet Spires and were summarily decimating them. In the appendices, there's mention that the Schools believe the Psûkhe to be inferior to the Anagogis: it turns out that's actually untrue, and the highest ranking Cishaurim might even be a match for the Mandate's Gnosis. Only Kellhus' arrival is enough to defeat them, as he takes on the 5-6 highest ranking Cishaurim by himself and bests them.<br /><br />C.B.<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7703856341303488608.post-64346754315320479912016-07-26T14:26:32.932+00:002016-07-26T14:26:32.932+00:00Again, awesome stuff!

I had for...Again, awesome stuff! Thanks for this :)<br />I had forgotten some parts - I don't at all remember the Inchoroi fearing damnation for their vices of the sin, and spilling this information to Kellhus during their meeting - isn't this some new info from TGO? <br /><br />The showdown between Kellhus and Moenghus has always been very underwhelming to me, partly because it has always felt clumsy how Bakker describes the TFT (i.e. vaguely by design), partly because Moenghus didn't act very rationally at all, and for that matter neither did Kellhus.Jorrohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08690191148478465864noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7703856341303488608.post-25641146146077446472016-07-22T17:28:27.525+00:002016-07-22T17:28:27.525+00:00Great, Thanks for putting it together.Great, Thanks for putting it together.fanfarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17807398946852294731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7703856341303488608.post-44868435091624958772016-07-20T15:31:21.784+00:002016-07-20T15:31:21.784+00:00Great stuff!

I...Great stuff! Thanks for putting this together.<br /><br />I've always wondered if Moenghus truly believed that Kellhus had gone insane or if that was a desperate attempt to regain control.<br /><br />Kilgorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09082564166255192110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7703856341303488608.post-14208711839402484182016-07-10T01:38:55.986+00:002016-07-10T01:38:55.986+00:00I love reading these.
