On page 569 this is mentioned. I don't know if it's been asked or pointed to before, I'm too god damned lazy to search, but...

Are they who I think?

[Spoilers]Bauchelain and Korbal Broach? That was my immediate and instinctive response. Since I just read that line, yeah. I can say that that it what I immediately thought[/spoilers]

They are who you think. The intention of the quote is to cover some inconsistencies between SW and some of Erikson's earlier material.

What, may I ask, were the inconsistencies? I thought it was a cute nod to B&KB.

Cute nod, yes. I meant the problems with reconciling religion in Theft as presented in BF with religion in the Fistian subcontinent as presented in SW. They are reconcilable and I don't have a problem with them, but they do appear inconsistancies on a first glance. But there's whole threads out there dedicated to this issue, so I won't say more.
