RE: Impervious Ships (spoilers RWC) - 'thul - Oct-26-2012 It was described as "coating", so whether it was paint, "plating" or something else, is hard to say. The rain wilds is certainly in a spot of change, but whether it is for the better or not is harder to say... So long as that duke and his ilk rules in chalced, the change is probably not for the better. RE: Impervious Ships (spoilers RWC) - Farseer - Nov-18-2012 The hull of the boat that followed Tarman was black so that certainly fits with the colouring of memory sand or stone... Not sure if I have said it before or not but maybe those priests of Sa have a role in all of this 'impervious hull' business as well, seeing as I believe that they, too, have sourced memory stone previously. RE: Impervious Ships (spoilers RWC) - 'thul - Nov-18-2012 you're almost more obsessed with those priests than with the fool, farseer. They're a faith that isn't even universal to the primary realms of the region, why should they have so much influence?

What of Reyn and Malta's reaction to the boat that followed them? I'm not sure if that would fit with the theory that Wintrow is involved. Surely, if it were Wintrow, those two would have known of his plans for the making of the formula and then any later use for it? Wintrow would surely share such things with those two, of all people? Would let them know that he, or someone else, was making his/their way up the Rain River? Surely either he would go out on deck or, if some delegate of his was on board, they would make sure to make themselves known? Especially to a crew aboard a liveship? RE: Impervious Ships (spoilers RWC) - 'thul - Dec-02-2012 Indeed. They are, despite serious physical differences, still related. |
