[split] What does the name "Farseer" really mean? SPOILERS ALL BOOKS

[Farseer]

Just a quick visit here but I so very much want to come back to discuss it all...

**City of Dragons spoiler to about Chapter Three (so if you've read the publisher pdfs, as featured on the main news page, you'll be fine)*

Spoiler

The number twelve cannot represent the actual number of Skill-Pillars. There are five in the King of Chalced's Throne Room, (which I assume to be located in the map tower of an old Elderling city?), four for the Witness Stones at Buck, one at the plaza where Fool and Fitz had their joint 'vision', one in the quarry, one in the Stone Garden, one on Others' Island and one in the map tower of Aslevjal. That alone is fourteen without any others. Unless one 'Pillar' (as in each of the twelve Pillars of the Man Ceremony) does only denote or represent one destination or Portal Gate grouping...but I doubt it...I think! Who else went when they read of those five blocks of memory stone?!
