Just finished my re-read of MT and my questions are these:

1. Did Menadore transport the entire Meckros city into Starvald Demelain? I had trouble grasping how it got into the warren.

2. Why did Kettle come back to life after the Azath died? Was it her reward for being its guardian? It seemed to coincide with the death of the Azath/rise of the hold of death to cleanly.

3. What was up the chaos power the K'rinsan used in the first engagement against the Letherii (the one where the queen and prince were captured)? Why were the tornadoes made out of bones? I understand how in the second engagement, the dust fried the Letherii, and then picked up the bones to continue to reap destruction, but in the first engagement, the K'rinsan hadn't hit the Letherii yet. Where did the bones come from?

4. Right next to Serenity's prison, there were barrows that were "larger than K'Chain Chemalle tombs." What race used those barrows? The Toblakai?

5. About the Wyval.... I grabbed this passage from the book:
"Ooh, are those dragons?’‘Spawn. Locqui Wyval, searching for their master. But he is gone. Once they realize that, they will know to wait. It will prove a long wait.’
‘Are they waiting still?’

‘Yes.’
I'm guessing the "master" Silchas is referring to is himself? Why do they consider him their master? Do soul-taken Elient have power over the dragon spawn?

1. IIrc, it was TCG making a play at grabbing her son, and Menandore's saving of him, that mixed together to transport most of it there. RG spoiler

I assume you are talking about the one in the Refugium, which is outside of the gates of Starvald Demelain, not quite in it.

2. Kettle was prepared to be the Azath's... seed, if you recall the scene of her making with the Nameless One present. She therefore waxed as it waned.

3. Not quite recalling this, but one of two answers should be the correct one: They are either pulling their tornadoes from barrows around the fortress or they are pulling them from Chaos-tinged Emurlahn.

4. Possibly pure TTT, yes. Possibly Jaghut. Different sizes exist for all of the races.

5. Wyval tend to flock to the presence of the eleint, yes.

Thank you for the reply! Especially the answer regarding Kettle.

You got that right. Are there actual Malazan podcasts? Is this official? Hope it isn't spam. Lets see if I can get a Mod....

Huh...that was fast. I was actually typing out a PM to you about this when I checked the thread again to find action had been taken. You reading minds nowadays?

Yup. Testing out the new prototype blowdart-delivered brain microchips on forum members. Once we've perfected the technology, the moderating team is going to get all the future Malazan books directly out of SE and ICE's thinkymeatz! Mwahahahahaha!

(and also conquer the world but that's considered less important)
