Alright, well, I'm not sure if this has already been asked, but I'm gonna do it anyways and i'm sure someone will let me know. I know Treach has claimed a Mortal sword, and a Destriant. (If you have read past HoC, then you know their identities already.) And I was just curious, who could possibly be the Shield Anvil for Treach, if he will even have one. So, I just wanted to know mostly speculation on who you believe it could be based on any relevant information since Shield Anvil is a rather hearty position as we saw from the Grey Swords.

Truthfully, i do want to know who The shield Anvil is. I don't mind spoilers, it never ruins the story for me.

Damn you defiance, I was about to scroll down and read who it is. But after what you first wrote, I just can't do it now. Well, guess i'll just have to wait until it comes along. Damn you!!!!!!!

IMO, it was one of the very far-fetched and utterly unclear moments in the book, much like any of them concerning this character ;P

Absolutely classic Erikson: "HOLY CRAP I CAN'T BELIEVE WHAT I JUST READ ABSOLUTELY MIND-BLOWING THIS CHANGES EVERYTHING wait, what just happened, really?"

"Here is light. You will say that it is not a living entity, but you miss the point that it is more, not less. Without occupying space, it fills the universe. It nourishes everything, yet itself feeds upon destruction. We claim to control it, but does it not perhaps cultivate us as a source of food? May it not be that all wood grows so that it can be set ablaze, and that men and women are born to kindle fires?"

Yup, it most certainly will be once i reach that point. And tough love sucks majorly, oh well, i'll manage until i finally see who it is even thought i have some slight suspicions already after finishing MT. But, i will see!!!!!

I know I am probably wrong, but did it not tell this information in House of Chains itself? Defiance, I am by no means calling you wrong.

So, you're the historian who survived the Chain of Dogs.
Actually, I didn't.

WJD and andrewtkd, perhaps you should spoiler your posts. This is the HoC forum, not the TBH's.

and the quoted part too

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.
