Toaster Retribution he/him Posted November 23, 2017 Report Share Posted November 23, 2017 One thing that struck me when I read was the mention of Axies, by the Veristitalians. One of them spoke about sightings of Axies. Is he famous? Why are people looking for him? Does Jasnah know him? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reborn radiant Posted November 23, 2017 Report Share Posted November 23, 2017 what I find more interesting is the sleepless in edgedancer refers to axies "old axies" or something along those lines. I do think he is more important than we think he is. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reborn radiant Posted November 23, 2017 Report Share Posted November 23, 2017 Just now, Fulminato said: the sleepless are Dysian Aimians, axies is an Siah Aimian. I know that, that's why I think axies is more important than we think he is . If a very old sleepless thinks axies is old, then he must be ancient. That's what I was pointing to 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Bliev she/her Posted November 23, 2017 Report Share Posted November 23, 2017 I imagine that Axies, as a scholar studying spren, would be invaluable to Jasnah and her scholarly order beyond his general “being alive” state. I can imagine Jasnah and her scholar friends being super jealous of a being who can study for millennia and not worry about the inconvenience of death! I wonder how many books he’s written about his findings...lol. I also wonder how his research will factor in to Shallan and Jasnah’s study of “corrupt” spren, the oathgate spren, and the unmade. I want to see them interact some day for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shawnhargreaves he/him Posted November 23, 2017 Report Share Posted November 23, 2017 I think everything we see in the interludes is Very Important (tm). They are Brandon's way of presenting things that we don't necessarily need to focus on right now in order to follow the immediate story, but that will become massively important later on. This structural mechanism lets him prepare for future books without distracting from the current storylines. So yeah, Axies will be way more than just some neat background worldbuilding.

AerionBFII he/him Posted November 23, 2017 Report Share Posted November 23, 2017 Axies is immortal, i have no doubt he's been around for a while, Arclo probably knew him back in the old days before Aimia was scoured. I don't think he's 'famous' per say, i'd say he's just well known in certain circles. For example the Veristitalians are a group of scholars and are probably well versed in his Spren cataloguing but i don't think a random Rosharan would recognise him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
