just really wondering where was that KCCM on iccy rooted pregnant from.
she was first a dormant drone.
then a higher kccm.
and at the end she got pregnant/ is a matron.
so is this from Iccy we know that they cross-breed with other species before(look at the shake).
if this is true then we got a KCCM/Jaghut/TTT breed that will act as guardians for all the azath?

[Illuyankas]

I doubt Iccy had the time to get his groove on.

[HoosierDaddy]

The Drone had the ability to become whatever was necessary for Kalse Rooted. Something about Icarium's presence rebooted the Drone into action, but after that, it was simply fulfilling it's role.

[Illuyankas]

Not exactly in the ending, but I reread the bit when the Bonehunters are just about to head off and Tehol sets up the throneroom to look ominous then calls for an artist and for no-one to move, and I genuinely laughed out loud. Particularly at Bugg facepalming.

[Abyss]

Tehol and co were brilliant in this book.

The drone was activated by the KC 'nanites' (that's how it read anyways) to become whatever was needed. The colony needed a worker to repair it, so Shulkit became a worker. Then Iccy took over and needed a guardian, so it became a Jan sentinel. Then Iccy died or vanished and the colony needed to restart, so it became a Matron. It appears that Matrons are self-fertilizing, so no, Iccy didn't get nasty with the lizard drone.

QUOTE (Epiph @ Sep 3 2009, 07:35 PM) The wolf girl was likewise a storyline begun in RG, and arguably MoI.
Huh? The first we heard from her is in RG when she runs from the Letherii troops and then lives with wolves until they all get killed by the Barghast...

I suspect Epiph meant that the Barghast storyline goes back to MoI, since they adopt Setoc.

Actually, I meant that since Setoc seems to be the Grey Helms Destriant, and may be somehow carrying the wolf-eaten hearts of the Grey Swords from RG, she, in essence, continues and is part of the Grey Martial Items storyline(See the top of page 9).

well my guess is at least one out of Quick Ben and bottle has to be toast, having both survive would stretch credulity

Quick Ben can absorb souls. Bottle's soul was wandering about when Bottle was (most likely) killed. My bet is that Bottle is now Quick Ben's 13th's (or 14th... or 15th...) soul

Those 14 Jaghut were bloody hilarious. Them annihilating those NR was pretty cool too. Them lining the ridge screamed awesome. And Hood! What a badass.

"Which war was that again?"

Had me in gales of laughter.

Is it confirmed that the Perish survivied and the Errant is dead? Or is this healthy speculation?

I doubt the Errant is dead. Perhaps tied forever to the Azath houses...

Errastas as an Azath House guardian... hmmmm...

Yes, there were a couple scenes when Shulkit's body was being 'changed' painfully by the nanites. There was also a scene (when he/she/it went from drone to Jan) that Shulkit gained self-awareness.

Right firstly sorry if someones mentioned this but i have to say it. ' does everyone remember mael/bugg giving Tavore that thing (cant quite remember what it was) and said something like use it when you need it most or something along those lines well i think her need was most at the end there and i just have the suspicion that when we last see kisswhere that something big happens after it like Tavore using whatver it was and someone coming to save the rest of the bonehunters asses. My first thought was maybe mael/bugg would just pop outta nowhere to save them but the more i think about it i got a feeling its gonna be paran because he was mentioned loads in this book an i get the feeling it was leading up to something.

Mybe just wishfull thinking onmy part though

We learnt the OD was female when we first saw it, back in HOC.

need a re read here, its been a little while, but when did we see her, and what is her name?

[Illuyankas]

Back when Pearl and Lostara were travelling through the Imperial Warren, but we didn't learn her name was Korabas until this book.

[Tattersail_]

do you like the wheel of time then? do you like this series more?

How did you go from Korabas, Pearl, Lostara and the Imperial Warren to MBotF vs WoT?

[Tattersail_]

I think The Watch was more powerful than the liosan and the FA because he was on the road to gallan, in the normal world of wu he may have gotten his ass handed to him, but the fact that he was in his element changed things. the shake where defenders of the border between light and dark, they must have had some great fighting skills

I was going through the thread from start to finish Gothos. It was an old thread and I was replying to the ones that caught my attention. This response was for Egwene who posted something earlier on.

sorry for the confusion
