Voyages of discovery? (spoilers for all RotE books)

[Farseer]

Yeah I am not sure why the liveships seem to be able to go as far as Jamailla but there seems to be a big cutoff right there. What's on the south side of Jamailla? I may have missed something but it never seems to be mentioned.

As recollected via Ephron, Althea, Brashen and even Vivacia, I always got the impression that the Spice Isles were quite a way south of Jamaillia? Will have to confirm that for you though!

In regard to other southern destinations, that the Black Man and Fool were able to travel for quite a distance south to their old school, via Skill pillars, makes me wonder if they meant as far as Jamaillia or even much further? The possibility of 'further' suggests that Elderlings onced travelled quite extensively south and there would appear to be memory stone down there somewhere as well (to be used for the Skill pillars). That begs the other question, which is really for another thread (!!), but will put it here to carry on...from where did the Black Man obtain his ability to Skill, as one must be Skilled to use the pillars, and he was confident of he and Fool's ability to travel by that means on their journey south from Aslevjal? As an extension of that, Fool had told Fitz when he was a youth that he had made his way north to Buckkeep through ways and times he was unable to describe to Fitz. Possibly there are ways of travel we are not yet aware of?!

Just on dragons being or not being in the world of Gernia...sorry, but another **Soldier Son spoiler***

I found it interesting that Nevare made a distinct comparison to dragons at one point when he was in his forest mage state, I think..something like it was the hunger of a dragon which he experienced or something similar. Hmm, obviously there is indeed a knowledge of dragons in those parts, either as something that has come from Gernian legend, fiction or known fact, otherwise Nevare would not have been able to make such a comparison !!!!
