Iskaral Pust's mule is Shadowthrone in soletaken form.
Think about it :rolleyes:
The leader, his audience still,
considered their scholarly will.
He lowered his head
and with anguish he said,
"But how will we teach them to kill?"

LOL. There is so much about this series that mystifies me. I love reading about people's ideas on things like this, but I can't help the feeling that SE is screwing with us.

I think I can hear his laughter from here.

Fun fact - in DG, the first time we get a description of Pust's mule from Iccy and Mappo's perspective, it's along the lines of 'grey darkening to black at the feet and ears'... a bit later, Kalam really looks at the Aptorian (a shadow demon) for the first time, and described it, almost, almost word for word, the same way.

Coincidence, i think NOT.

By the way, the various Mule serving Shadowthrone and Krul are the Mules of Shadow. The Mules of Darkness could more accurately be called the Donkeygoth as a more primal, earlier version of the Mules (So Donkeygoth are to Mules of Shadow what Deragoth are to Hounds of Shadow). The two should not be confused.

What?

Stop laughing, i'm SERIOUS!!!!!!!! :)


- Abyss, notes that the actual title of 'Dust of Dreams' is actually 'Donkeygoth of Dreams'. :)

But Apt was killed by Icarium...

There exists an entire civilization of Aptorians with rulers and all inside shadow, Apts death, allthough it was tragic :) , doesn't mean a thing.

The big question is how does an aptorian demon make tea?

I wonder though, are the Azalan demons not described in the same way as Apt?

Apt was cut in two, if I'm not mistaken, denul is swell but it doesn't really heal chopped in two issues.

Thanks, I thought that was the case, but my memory sucks and I might have made it all up. Unless you made it up too, in which case we are both nutz. But, happy nutz.

Iccy only killed Monok Ochem, Ibra Gholan, Ahlrada Ahn and Apt. Panek has now been orphaned again. Gotta feel sorry for the freaky little kid. Who's going to love him now?

Edit: That's all the named characters Iccy killed, I mean. Obviously he killed a few more than that.

Finally found a description of Iskaral's second (or third?) mule. It's on the boat in BH (didn't write down the page reference though..). It's described as being super-dark, just like the first mule was.

Remember more were killed by the Edur.
