It must be taken as given that a man who happens to
be the world’s most powerful, most terrible, most
deadly sorceror, must have a woman at his side.
But it does not follow, my children, that a woman
of similar proportions requires a man at hers.
Now then, who wants to be a tyrant?

From Chapter 2, tBH.
I don't know how many of you noticed this, but there seems to be a Mistress Wu as well. I faintly recall ST arguing about a son that some deduced to be either Temper or Braven Tooth. Any theories here that I might have missed?
Also her nature of musings assumes a certain amount of...taciturnity towards powerful men and women, and the question of gender equality that SE seems to kick up so much. In fact, the recent Pixels interview he gave on Violence against women (highly recommend you listen to it if you haven't) also has him stress gender equality along the same lines, and I remember him saying something along the lines of how most of the readership ignore the fact that in his world, women are equally powered as men are.
Anyhow, any theories about Kellanved's actual blood family? Also, given that this has been penned by Mistress Wu of the Malaz City School of Waifs and Urchins indicating a role for her perhaps?
