So....I've started a second read-through of the Malazan series. Everything makes much more sense, and I'm piecing together things that I couldn't before.

But I have one question:

I know that early in the book, Lorn, Tayschrenn, and Tattersail have their roundtable discussion about how the gods, including Oponn, have entered the affairs of humans. Then later in the book, Lorn determines that Crokus is the Coin Bearer and chases him through Darujhistan in order to kill him.

How did she come to the conclusion that Crokus is the Coin Bearer?

(Apologies if this has been asked before. I'm new to the forums.)

Wasn't it her spider-sense? (by that i mean the 'awareness' of sorcery that her exposure to otataral gave her) - not certain.


- Abyss, clearly due for yet another reread.

That's actually a great way of describing her ability.

I stayed up late last night looking through the book again. It seems that, at Pale, Tayschrenn only tells her that Oponn is involved and that it has something to do with Darujhistan. Then after she gets the Finnest from the Jaghut barrow, she suddenly reveals (through Erikson's wonderful 3rd person POV writing style) that she needs to kill "this Coin Bearer."

I guess its intuitive that she found that out from Tayschrenn. I guess Erikson wanted it to be a surprise.
