nice
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.

Patch, that was so cool, I've extended the moratorium on your brain a whole other month.
Oddly, my biggest kick was the inclusion of an actual Gral. The guy is hunting Dejim. Badass.
- Abyss, no, not letting the brain thing die, why do you ask?

Sigh...and there I was dreaming up all sorts about the hidden Talon being resurrected by the Imass Renegades via Kalam's supposed father.

Observations:
-Is it coincedence that most of the groups specifically targetted by the old Emperor turn out to later have something to do with the Crippled God (D'rek = Poliel)?
-Banaschar turned up on a ship that looks to be dedicated to D'rek (the carvings).
-T'rolbarahl appear to be the Malazan version of a vampire.
-Spite didn't really want the demon to kill the other Nameless Ones, she just anticipated it happening and got out quickly. Warning the others isn't really the sort of thing you'd expect her sort to do.
-The Gral pissed on his fire. According to HoC, Seven Cities warriors do that when they expect to die.
-Barathol Mekhar is Old Guard, and that's likely not his real name.

...speaking for myself, the timeline issues really aren't...but...i'm not sure the timelines will be 'resolved'..a minor (to my point of view) mistake was made, and to 'fix' it is more effort than it's worth, don't you think?

Very, very interesting. The Gral, like Abyss said, was uber-cool. I'm looking forward to checking out another super-hard bunch of fighters- he thinks he can take out Dejim? Thats gotta put him in Karsa, Iron Bars, Brys etc. category.
As to the Mekhar connection...well he hardly fights like Kalam, what with the full regalia of armour, shield and double-axe. I'm thinking more likely brother than dad too, for some reason. And is Helian RR's dream girl or what?

Sealed with 12 warrens. Reminds me of the 12 gated crystal tower in one of Udinaas' visions.
50 bucks says Helian gets to visit Pust and his wife.
Frozen and Hood. Coincidence? More evidence that Hood is Jaghut I say.quote:“Frozen worlds hide in darkness,†came the rasping words of the eighth Nameless One, “and so hold the secret of death. The secret is singular. Death arrives as knowledge. Recognition, comprehension, acceptance. It is this and nothing more and nothing less. There shall come a time, perhaps not too far off, when death discovers its own visage, in a multitude of facets, and something new will be born. In the name of Hood’s Warren, I invoke the ritual of release.â€

Mmhh, actually Cotillion does say, that Felisin is dead. I was more remembering the description of the actual scene, where it is indeed left not entirely clear.
Of course Cotillion might well err - whatever happened, did so within the influence of Otataral after all.

And now the girl is dead. She was named Felisin. Of House Paran.

IIRC there are 6 of the Unbound left after Karsa finished with them.
The others... well there was a bonecaster with them.. and yet all five in the prologue are carrying weapons?
Edit: There were five of the Silanda group left after the sealing of the warren.. one of those Hentos Ilm, carried no weapons

b. 1146 refers to when felisin was born, not when she wrote the poem, which means teh poem was written by felisin the elder... i think.
As for 22nd year of lassens rule... well that depends on whether you see lassens rule stretching from the emperors "death" in NoK (1154), which gives around 10 years or from the time when lassen ruled the empire, which was several years before that, as kel and dancer had gone off elsewhere...
Personally i think it has to be a misprint, if SE had changed the timeline date, ICE would have changed it in NoK?
