Hi chums,

I am confused by who or what Pearl is!!!


In Gardens of the Moon he was a spirit that came out of the bottle that smashed

In Deadhouse Gates he was that chap travelling under a fake name

So is Pearl a god or a cheeky spiriit or what???


Also, do we find out what was in the smoky bottle given to Coltaine by Dujek??

Was Dujek killed @ end of Deadhouse.....i finished it 2 months ago now....im going to read MOI in next month :pirate:


I am currently reading The Blade Itself by Joe Abercrombie.....got nothin on Erikson!


Thanks,

MudMan:apt2:

Pearl the demon and Pearl the dude from DG are two different entities, the name is the only similarity. The smoky bottle is a soul catcher, meant to (obviously) catch the soul of whoever is wearing it when they die. Duiker does get horribly crucified at the end, while wearing it, and his body is retrieved off the cross afterwards. You are going to enjoy MOI a lot.
Hello, soldiers, look at your mage, now back to me, now back at your mage, now back to me. Sadly, he isn’t me, but if he stopped being an unascended mortal and switched to Sole Spice, he could smell like he’s me. Look down, back up, where are you? You’re in a warren with the High Mage your cadre mage could smell like. What’s in your hand, back at me. I have it, it’s an acorn with two gates to that realm you love. Look again, the acorn is now otataral. Anything is possible when your mage smells like Sole Spice and not a Bole brother. I’m on a quorl.

Different Pearls. The Pearl in GotM is a demon, Galayn Lord, I believe. The Pearl in DG is a member of the Claw, the Malazan Empire's assasins.

Coltaine wouldn't take it and gave it back to Duiker.

yeah brood's in MoI, which is considered (on this forum) to be better than the entire WoT combined. (ok maybe bit of an exaggeration, Terez loves the wheel)

No, the Galayn Lord was the soletaken released by Lorn during the fete to kill Rake.

Pearl was, I believe, a Korvalah, or something like that, demon. They were both trapped or summoned by Tayschrenn and both got Dragnipur'd by Rake though.
So, you're the historian who survived the Chain of Dogs.
Actually, I didn't.

It seems you stand alone.
It was ever thus.

You're right, Pearl was a Korvalah, one of Tayschrenn's demons, and deployed by QB. It is said that Tayschrenn has other Korvalahs. Not sure if this is a spoiler or not but
Spoiler


The Galayn Lord, on the other hand, was a uniquely powerful demon of Taychrenn's, unleashed by Lorn, and Tays screamed and lost conciousness when it got dragnipur'd.

I kinda love it when D'rek unleashes her nerd wrath, as I knew she would here. Sorry innocent bystanders, but someone's gotta be the kindling.

You say potato, I say tomato. I need to re-read GotM evidently.
