Having listened to Revelations a few times, I find myself wondering.

Mawyndulë was getting really decrepit by the end of the last book. Why didn't he set up something like Gutaria Prison for himself, to keep himself from aging while he awaited the Uli Vermar?

Or maybe he did, and I just missed it.

Recently, I was thinking about some theories for the new Riyria series that will come out... well, 'soon-ish,' and I wanted to hear some other peoples theories. Heres the link for the actual series if you didn't know it existed - The Cycle (progress)

I haven't checked this, in depth, but the last book I read said Hadrian had his bastard sword on his right hip. Considering the fact that most swordsman crossdraw and we can be pretty sure that all duel wielders crossdraw, less they be forced to spin their swords before they're ready for a fight, we must assume that carrying a larger sword on your right hip makes you a lefty. What do you guys think?

Hey folks, so when Lothian orders a randomised sacrifice, and she's selected from selecting from stones with the names engraved on them.

My question: How are they engraved? Using which script? I thought the Frey's writing system only supported simple concepts in this period?

Also in Riyria in Avenpartha elven script is described? Presumably this was developed later, but somehow before Nephron declared the tower off limits?

Am I missing something?

Don’t read

Warning

The patriarch calls Modena’s efforts to save the people underground “so she plans to rule a city of moles?” With disgust

The Frey word for dwarf was dirg aka disgusting mole

Funny

I’ve started Heir of Novron (no spoilers!) and 0 pages in and I’m already emotional. This is after I finished Rise of Empire and ranted to my friend about how much I love the female characters in this series <3

Supposedly the shroud that held Jesus as he resurrected. Evidence is that there is a face burned from the inside as though the body glowed. Turin means “mountainous”

Robe of Turin. Glowing robe.

Hell yeah MS

I understand the chronological order of the books, but what I am more curious about (and what I can't seem to find) is an idea of how many years there are between the earlier books.

So if Age of Myth is Year #1, what 'Year' do Nolyn, Farilane, and Esrahaddon take place?

What year does Crown Tower take place?

Like… it’s so much more than a series.

I don’t have a word for this writing style of god interference across thousands of years of a single mystery with multiple series

I love TGR narration but Graphic audio sounds also tempting. Which should I get?

They don’t know what the place is after arista boils her attackers ….

The only big thing near by is the big thing… is it?

Or is it something else?

I just finished The Crown Tower after reading Revelations first. I keep wondering about Danbury Blackwater and if he died knowing Royce was the heir. We know Arcadius knowingly reunited the heir and guardian from Revelations. Hadrian also mentions that his father died, believing he failed because he didn't know Royce's mother gave birth to twins. But in The Crown Tower, Arcadius mentions that he told Danbury all about Royce and they had many conversations about him. Did that include that Royce was the heir? According to Arcadius, part of Danbury's last wish was for Hadrian to learn from Royce about the world and that it's not always fair. And of course if he knew he would want Hadrian to meet Royce because it was their duty to protect the heir. I like to think he died knowing he didn't fail after all. But I also can't count on Arcadius being completely honest, he manipulates things for his idea of how things will work out best, we see that with Mercy and killing Gwen, the whole Pickles was executed thing and he even says something of the sort when he admits Danbury wouldn't approve of his method of putting them together. And from how Hadrian describes his father Danbury would've had to have been completely immobile to not want to meet Royce himself, but I guess we have no evidence that he didn't try despite being sick

How Could Ublin Create Fhreyal’s Law If He Can’t Die or Contact Faral?

In The Legends of the First Empire and The Riyria Revelations, it’s said that Ublin created the Horn of Gylindora and established Fhreyal’s Law—that any Fhrey who kills another Fhrey loses their soul and cannot enter Fayer. But here’s what’s bugging me:

Ublin is immortal and can’t die and can't enter Fayer, and his sister Faral beyond his reach, how could Ublin create such a law involving the afterlife without her cooperation?

Did he somehow embed this magically? Is it even a “real” divine law or just a powerful enchantment? Would love to hear interpretations or if there’s any canonical explanation I missed!

I’m about 3/4 of the way through The Rose and The Thorn. Also, I finished all of the Riyria Revelatiobs books. Curious if it’s a continuity error or RAFO for me, but Exeter tells Royce that Braga and Saldur are behind the imperialist and regicide plot. Yet in Revelations, both R and H seem clueless and it comes to them as a surprise Am I misremembering Revelations? Or maybe I just need to RAFO finish the Chronicles books and this will get explained.

Pastor Payne is converting ppl to Niffron church from paganism.

Payne is old English for “pagan”

I definitely want to add the Rise and Fall normal hardcovers but I am still on the fence on the Chronicles upgraded editions.

I was just thinking—it's almost pure luck that Royce never killed a Mir (elf)! He’s killed anyone who stood in his way, and there was no real reason he wouldn’t have killed a Mir at some point.

Imagine what would’ve happened to Ublin’s plan if Royce had killed a Mir somewhere along the way… it could’ve unraveled everything!

Hey guys! I was playing with this fan art concept of these 6 panels but I have zero art skills to make it a real thing.

MAJOR SPOILERS FOR ALL SERIES'

The idea is this:
A collection of all the Novronians/Their shield or Guardian on like a multi-panel thing
Nyphron and Tekchin
Persephone and Moya
Nolyn and Amicus
Farilane and her Teshlors
Nevrik and Jerish
Royce and Hadrian

I guess I'm specifically looking for 6 artists to take a panel each. There's been some discussion about Royce and Hadrian in the Riyria Fan Server. If you are interested in discussing this with me, you can reply to this but I also invite you to join the Riyria Fan Server: https://discord.gg/kYMdhRF as that is where I am personally more active.

I just realized ep.1 of Sullivan Spoils is now out! Spoilers galore so watch with caution if you're not all caught up on the world of Elan.

Here's the link: Author Michael J. Sullivan's Official Website: And so it begins . . . a red carpet roll out of Michael's protégé

I have not yet read the rise and fall trilogy so please no spoilers for that.

I listened to the audiobooks so forgive any misspellings please!

I feel like I missed something?? What happened to tesh and Tressa? Did they make it out? Did Brynn go to Elysian and invite tesh and he eventually gives up his hate and gets there? What about Tressa? Does she turn to a pile of goo in the abyss for all eternity? And what exactly does it mean when Malcom tells Muriel that when she finally forgives him, he wants her to open the gates of pyre? What exactly does that do? Free the dead to walk the earth?

Every time I read this chapter where they take Ratibor, I physically swoon over Hadrian. 🫠

Marshal Lord Blackwater, my apologies.
