Malta *spoilers all Hobb books*

[Valarya]

I don't believe that Malta was ever in danger of death from her drowning in memories. After all, she was/is an Elderling.

If memory stone was dangerous for Elderlings, all would have 'drowned' or lost themselves not only in Kelsingra but whenever they came into contact with it eg Trehaug, the Skill Pillars etc. They could never have used it as a material for building.

You're a smart cookie!!!!!!

I am certain that Fitz himself specifically said or alluded to the fact that the city called him (will confirm that), and this is why he wanted to return there.

I thought it was the Skill Road that called to him, specifically? Not the city, itself. I like that you said you were certain, but would have to confirm, in the same sentence!

Fool removed the silver Skill mark from Fitz but not from Malta..

Yeah, that's totally my fault. I was thinking the Fool removed the Skill from his fingertips. Dunno why on earth I'd think that, tho. Sorry!
