This has been bothering me for some time, why do Rud and Shurq Ellale share a name when the former is the son of a slave and a God and the latter is an unrelated, dead pirate?

Perhaps they share a relation from a Mecros city.
Trouble arrives when the opponents to such a system institute its extreme opposite, where individualism becomes godlike and sacrosanct, and no greater service to any other ideal (including community) is possible. In such a system rapacious greed thrives behind the guise of freedom, and the worst aspects of human nature come to the fore....

Similarly, Pearl the demon and Pearl the claw are related. Pearl is Pearl's mother.
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.

Brokeface and Skorgen the Pretty are twins separated at birth.

No, that's Rud. Shurq was probably also a foundling or something.

K heres the thing off the thing, you know?

Rud Elalle, an adopted foundling
Shurq Elalle, an itinerant pirate

Clearly there is a silent "Q" at the beggining of Ruds last name.

On a side note Im gonna show you guys some logic to prove why the names are how they are!

Logic 101
================
Shurq Elalle re-arrange to make "Quell Sharel"
Rud Elalle re-arranges to make "Rule Ladel"
================
Clearly the silent Q does not carry over to Quell Sharel!
(*)
(*)
Now its a different story when both Combine/Elustinate
&
It
Tran$fers
2
"Quall Deel Sharer Lulel"
$Bingo$
thats right!

If you google that you get...?
Some wierd ass 36 page thing about Ecotone

If any one feels the need to read it, please pm me what the hell Ecotone is.
Now
Its, Everything, `BOTH`
--------

Now This "Quall Deel Sharer Lulel" transfers too:

17-21-1-12-12-4-5-5-12-19-8-1-18-5-18-12-21-12-5-12

or in other words

17+21+1+12+12+4+5+5+12+19+8+1+18+5+18+12+21+12+5+12

Or if thats not the shizel for you it adds up to
*220*

Now may I ask all the smart peoples what is 2+2+0?
Thats right its 6 4!

Now you see 4 relates back to da letter D

And here we come back to Ecotone
ors---

5-3-15-20-15-14-5
Damn agian its

5+3+15+20+15+14+5
or
77
this adds up to
14!

or...
N

Now we have DN.

Then theres Rud and Shurq
Since R comes before S and D comes before N
Rud=D and Shurq=N

This allows for the combination of Rud and Shurq to become DN

or

Democracy Now!

heres where this baby comes in!

He represents Democracy by saying They are both equal although, Rud is a magical dragon man and Shurq is just a dead thief.

He allowed this connection to show us his world represents the ideas of the enlightened thinkers.

This connects to the French Revoultion and further Napolean,
He was a millitary genuis and also others in Wu whee too.

Now it comes down to one major point, WHY?
Steven comes in with the democracy point by combining there names.

Your mind with out you knowing makes you think of democracy by seeing two Elalle's you just don't know it.
Coming together with what we already know, he does it in a strange way, so why not incolude a second motive.

The real answer is he does, DN also has the connection of it being a german type like thing!

This represents the connection between different cultures, showing that by adding two Elalle's with no plusible connection it helps us relate our lives to...

Democracy and Accepting Foriegn Cultures.

That's true. But Clip and Clip aren't related. Except that Clip ate Clip after Clip unloaded a clip into Clip in the 3rd chapter of House of Clip. Can't wait for ICE's next novel, Return of the Clipson Guard.


Furthermore, Hawl and Hawl are not the same person at all. Hawl and Hawl are actually 2 of 3 identical triplets (the third is Gaul). But Nok got into a brawl with Hawl one day and wound up boning Hawl in the caul of his ship (boy did she bawl) during a squall. So its understandable if y'all confuse Hawl and Hawl (Hawl is more tall).

I don't have the quote but the dude's name is Araq Elalle. Rud's adopted father and Shurq's uncle.

Heck, Toll the Hounds featured two completely different characters nicknamed "Spin".
"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?"

No. Menandore brought Rud to a Meckros city where he was raised by Shurq's uncle. The city was destroyed and everybody drowned except Rud who was saved by Menadore in her dragon form. She then brought him in the Refugium to live with Ulshun Pral and the other Imass.

true. I am assuming the crippled god destroyed this city, from the beginning of MT, and this is when he stole Withal. What I cant figure out was he also intending to kill Rud. I remember the scene where Menadore is saying that "you cant have him, I am assuming she is saying the to the crippled god.
