I saw this forum and.I.just had to post! Karsa Orlong is prolly my top 3 favorite characters in the whole series. He is just awesome in so many ways. I wonder, will the trilogy be set after CG? To see Karsa gather his people to.war would be awesome. Kinda set the stage for that with the Teblor army in CG with the Island that Tehol set aside for the Teblor. It makes sense.considering we learned.much about Kardas' youth already....what do others think? I hope he smashes.civilization to bits, lol.

The Kharkanas trilogy is coming first, I'm afraid. Forge of Darkness is already out, the second is due reasonably soon - he's not writing as fast as the main series but it's still damn fast - so sadly we all have a few years til the Karsa thrillogy.

[Abyss]

BUT he has confirmed that the TobTrilo takes place after TCG and Karsa's return home forms at least a part of the story.

[Spoilsport Stonny]

Also, I think we are going to have to take a tongue-in-cheek view of what "smash" and "civilization" mean by the time of the trilogy. I wouldn't expect Karsa to just show up with a buunch of Toblakai at the nearest Wal-mart and start knocking shit off the shelves.

Also requesting a subforum namechange to 'Toblakai Thrillogy' tia

But admit it... you would read the living fucksteaks out of that book.

Agreed! Also, I gotta say, your signature is pretty much the same for me- exactly how.I discovered the unbeliever series, lol!

I happily and whole-heartedly admit that, yes, I would read the living...fucksteaks...out of that book.

It also looks like I have a new favorite word. Finally. Something to replace pusillanimous.

Tiny tiny tidbit about the Toblakai trilogy from SE, from the Tor Malazan re-read:

Quote

The Redeemer's fate awaits and may be touched on in the Karsa trilogy.

Yep, that's all there is, but still intriguing, no?

i was very glad to hear that the redeemer would not be neglected in this trilogy. so much potential there, and you can never go wrong with segda travos. i wonder if he keeps the title seerdomin, or gets a shiny new one.

[NefaraisBredd]

Hmmm, maybe Nimander and his peoples are featured as well? I am happy to see the Redeemer return as well. He was an interesting character that (like many other characters) I wanted to know more about. MD and the Andii of Coral should have a role, if the theme is about the return of primal forces (wildness vs civilisation), as MD represents Erebos (darkness) or maybe even Chaos (the void) as represented in Greek mythology.......Karsa is Bellerophon or Herakles/Gilgamesh fer sure(the struggle between wildness/civilisation)

Kallor reminds me of Cadmus. I sure hope he appears in the TT- he's such an awesome character and he represents them primal forces I've been yammering about.

[Spoilsport Stonny]

Kallor has some wacky history with the Thel Akai, as seen in RotCG. I hope we see him too. There can never be enough Kallor. I wonder if when SE or ICE write his character how swiftly the pen moves across the page...

[Kanese S's]

I disagree. I'm tired of Kallor.

[Sinisdar Toste]

I'm sure kallor will manage to feature in some manner, but i doubt he'll be a major player. he was last seen getting out of a crater in jacuruku at the end of BaB. i imagine he might need a while to recover from that, but unless someone finally just saws his head of, he'll probably continue to kick around, occasionally show up, and be a pain in everyone's ass. unless SE has some big moment with real closure lined up for him in this trilogy. if so, all the better i say.

I wouldn't mind more Kallor at all if these two things end up being one and the same.

I don't think SE will ever tire of Kallor. Unlike some members here, I absolutely love reading about him. He is an enigmatic character and SE has spent a lot of time developing him. He is an enigmatic character, good, evil-he's despicable yet I find myself cheering him on because he is so unrelenting/steadfast/determined. Kallor reminds me of Karsa because they both refuse all service (chains) unless it suits them. The 'rage' of Kallor when he fights is as breathtaking as witnessing Karsa, Traveller, and Andarist. Kallor is un-checked ambition and arrogance (hubris) traits that we can all relate to in some small way.

[Kanese S's]

I find him kinda pathetic, actually. I don't really see how he's the least bit enigmatic.

[NefaraisBredd]

Isn't it pathetic how we humans persist in the same patterns of destructive behaviour, time and time again? That is what I am driving at-Kallor is hubris-the enigma that is humankind.

I don't see how that's enigmatic at all. It's all rather depressingly clear.
