[Sucka27]

Almost to the big fight in Coral on a reread and I got to the part where the Moranth, Paran, Quick Ben etc all happen upon some "carrion" in the woods west of the city and it turns out to be a dead Tiste Edur. I've read all the books except TTH, am I just forgetting who this is? Or am I not smoking crack and there no other mention of said bloated corpse?

[Grief]

Sorry, you're smoking crack.

As to the rest of the quesiton, I dont know. Im pretty certain about the crack part though...

That was the Tiste Edur Mael banished in MT that was part of the posse that beat up Tehol... probably Theradas.

The exact quote was

"The fourteenth Tiste Edur, the one who had just crushed a head beneath his heel, was lifted into the air. Writhing, his eyes bulging horribly, wastes streaming down his legs.

The fourteenth Tiste Edur, the one who had just crushed a head beneath his heel, was lifted into the air. Writhing, his eyes bulging horribly, wastes streaming down his legs. As Bugg stalked forward.

Until he was standing before Theradas Buhn of the Hiroth. He stared up at the warrior, at his bloated face, at the agony in his eyes. Trembling, Bugg said, "You, I am sending home… not your home. My home." A gesture, and the Tiste Edur vanished.

Into Bugg’s warren, away, then down, down, ever down."

There is probably a problem with the timeline here but... The Timeline Is Not Important ™

[Sucka27]

Ah, nice. Thanks for the reply, it's crazy how SE seriously wasn't BS'ing when he said he had these suckers in his head before he started the first (or second maybe) book.

Btw, is that a guess? I think I remember thinking

Spoiler

the guy just went down to where Brys and the demons lived at the bottom of the sea. What you say makes sense until you try to guess why he ended up around Coral which is a long, long way away.

[Dolorous Menhir]

They found him by a river. I think we can consider that an exit to you-know-who's warren.

[wareonia]

i always thought that the body was an early indicater of where moons spawn was hiding (really deep in the water in some kind of cut i forget the name of, where the pressure could crush you)

I thought this because they say his death could have been caused by being pushed through a warren to come out deep in the cut, Then later on when moons spawn rises out of the water someone mentions that it must have come through the cut.

Spoiler

this is not even a timlie issue Mt happens before MoI

[Grief]

And even if it was, the timeline is not important...

You know, that could have been a clue. Good spotting.

[Denerynn]

It had occurred to me too, but I didn't really care. I had a feeling that, despite contrary evidence, Moon's Spawn would rise anyway. You can't just get rid of one of the most badass characters just like that.

I thought exactly the same thing. But, there's something not right here: the body found was Tiste Edur, while Moon's Spawn is home to Tiste Andii.
So, as of MoI, it remains a mystery. Right? (I've just finished MoI a minute ago, and didn't want to read the spoilers )

[Aptorian]

It remains a mystery but trust me when you find out it's awesome.

[Ozymandiac]

Ok, thanks for the quick reply!

It seems that for 90% of the questions asked here, the only good answer is: Just keep on reading. And there's nothing wrong in that

[Completely off topic]
Hehe, kind of like the Jordanesque RAFO. We'll probably never find out who killed Asmodean now
[/Completely off topic]

As Apt said, it will be awesome when you find out the who, what, how and why of the dead Edur. When I understood who actually did it I grinned for 5 minutes

As for the people who believed that the dead Edur was an indicator of of where Moons Spawn was hiding, I just can't buy that MODGOD EDIT FOR HOC SPOILER

Spoiler

as the Andii and Edur aren't exactly the best of friends.

I think it's more to do with association - Tiste in the water...

True enough


[Completely off topic]
QUOTE Tenth book is coming out soonish...

Actually it's the twelfth, but yeah. I don't think it'll solve the Asmodean question. Not that it's a big deal anymore. Hopefully the new author (fail to remember his name) wraps the entire series up nicely so we all can move on to more important things. I've spent way too much time on WoT to let it be a dissapointment.
[/Completely off topic]

I'm sorry about this derailing. Won't happen again.

Just to keep things on topic: MODGOD EDIT TO NOTE THAT SPOILER BLOCKING SOMETHING FROM MT WHICH IS TWO BOOKS LATER ISN'T HELPFUL IF YOU DON'T SAY SO AND SOMEONE THINKS YOU'RE BLOCKING AN MOI SPOILER

Spoiler

Yay for Mael!

Anyrate, when SE hits you with a RAFO, the beauty of it is that, generally, you WILL eventually FO.

I always liked the sheer apparent randomness of the dead Edur.

- Abyss, FYI.

Actually, yes, we will. He wrote the information down before he died, and Brandon Sanderson, who was hired to complete the last book, has said he knows and the information is going in the last book.

[Karnadas]

QUOTE Actually it's the twelfth

So it is... Been three years since I last read one of those... Going senile in my old age

Did anyone get the impression that SE doesn't like the Edur at all? MODGOD EDIT FOR REST OF SERIES

Spoiler

We seem to come across a lot of dead ones in random places throughout the series...

[Tatterdemalion]

Yeah, but Karnadas...MODGOD EDIT FOR SPOILERS HOC AND LATER

Spoiler

this would be the product of the fact their warren is busted up and mad flooded, most likely too... sending Edur all over...

But yes, I agree that as the books weave on, tiste liosan and tiste edur become popcorn meal for all things strong. I would almost argue he likes the liosan less as whenever they show up they usually get schooled. Edur at least have Trull.
