And they also ate the offending humans. I think gresok was far enough away for them only to be aware of his dying thoughts, not to see/hear his death. So I'm guessing someone would have had time to get blood and leave before becoming dragon food.(Sep-24-2015, 11:35 PM (UTC))Snapdragon Wrote: Does anyone know which dragon the blood the fool drank came from?

Not sure which dragon but it IS dead. Chade has said that the dragon the blood came from was dead.
I think there was discussion about farseer origins. I assume Taker Farseer, who came from the Out islands, actually came from Aslevjal, as Prillkop says that's the last place Elderlings lived. Presumably he chose buckkeep as it had been known to the Elderlings, considering there is a skill pillar which goes to Aslevjal in buckkeep castle itself. So the pillar would have been in whatever structure the Elderlings had originally built there.
New question, do you think it was the Servants who helped the Abominations to capture and trap She Who Remembers. I can't imagine the abominations are particularly dexterous... And it would fit with the Servant's wishes to have a dragonless future.
Also, why are the Abominations so bad? Are they really so bad, or have we only been given a dragon's vain opinion of them? Considering the deformed dragons hated their less than perfect state, any deviation from their 'perfect' would be utterly contemptible to them. Especially such a massive deviation.
However, Elderlings, are the dragon's own creations, so they are bound to be proud of them...
I agree wight he idea that the servants would have helped the abominations capture she who remembers. I think the Others Island is a place slightly out of sync with the rest of the world/time. I imagine it as a place linked to the Skill Pillars, time can be funny and the magic brings things to the shore and it is meant to stay there. I think the abominations are so bad because Dragons are PETTY and VAIN and EGOCENTRIC creatures.
