Potential future conflicts and problems in the rain wild chronicles] [spoilers]

[Valarya]

Lots of things in this thread proven & disproven for sure!! I had never read it before but it's definitely interesting to go back and see what people were thinking. I like that it usually ends up 50/50. Half of the predictions are SPOT ON and the other half are WAY OFF, hahah.

Quick CoD spoiler

I especially like that everyone thought Kelsingra would be untouchable by anyone but Tarman because of the Acid. Hobb solved that with the Impervious Ships, didn't she?

(Hrm, this discussion makes me wonder how many of the ASOIAF predictions are the 50%-way-off kinds. )

And, though not really a 'problem,' I'm interested in the river that supposedly leads to the source of the white acid water.

Ah, me too!! I want to know, not only where that river goes, but what the source of the Acid Water is!!

It will be near impossible to fashion something that can be hung between two dragons...

also, dragons have a hard enough time moving a human being unharmed..

You forget there are several portrayals of Dragons carrying large baskets with their front claws. Baskets that held Elderlings (and could hold a number of things I'm assuming). Though I doubt any dragon but Heeby (and maybe Mercor) would deign to be a pack-mule. Certainly not Sintara!!

..they doubt the river that Verity dipped his arms in is in kelsingra. They theorize that the silvery skill river is somewhere along the borders of the other branch, the acidic river...

This makes me want to go back and read the parts where Verity dips his arms in the river, but I'm thinking it's really close to the stone quarry since he was able to 'refresh' the Skill on his hands several times.

I might say he could have used the Skill Pillar at the edge of the quarry to travel to another place to find the skill river, but I don't think that's right at all. Doesn't Fitz follow him to the River once? Besides, with how much of himself is gone in to the Dragon already at that point, there's no way he could use those pillars repeatedly (since we've seen what happens to someone when they do!!).

hmm...

City of Dragons class spoiler

It would be very fun if Kalo or Spit have gained full flight by the time the ship with Hest arrives, would it not?

I narrowed down your spoiler in that quite, 'thul beings. And to that all I have to say is:
