Small, random questions about RotE that still bother you (spoilers all RotE books)

[Farseer]

I also forgot to add that the Mountain Kingdom has its own language too - Fitz clearly mentions this is in AA and Kettricken refers to it again later.

Yes, just came across a reverse example of this in AQ, when Fitz was 'coming to' with the arrowhead in his back in the MK (I went to look for something altogether different but had to keep reading...can't put them down once I pick them up!!!):

" 'Easily,' the woman replied. I realised she was speaking the tongue of Buck, with a Mountain accent."

In this, Fitz noted that the woman was not speaking in the Mountain tongue, as he'd expected, but was instead speaking in the tongue of Buck, with a Mountain accent...confirming, along with Mervi's other examples, that there is a difference between the two.

Another quick question (I have LOTS!) ...

Do you think Queen Constance could have been Witted? I know that word in the Six Duchies has it that Fitz's Wit had come down to him through the Farseer line via the Piebald Prince but we were also told, I think via Fitz himself, that the Farseer line via the PP had been broken and therefore this could not hold true...therefore it had to come from his mother's side.

While I have mostly assumed that Fitz inherited his Wit from his Mountain mother, it doesn't seem to me to be such a stretch that Constance, also from the Mounatins, could have been Witted (especially as even Kettricken has shown herself to be Witted and from the Mountains?). Certainly it seems that neither Chivalry nor Verity had the Wit (ah, that we know of ..Verity never seemed bothered about Fitz having it!) but who is to say that it didn't skip a generation to Fitz...possibly he may have even been given the magic from BOTH of his parents?

Why do I think this possibility of Queen Constance, besides her Mountain connection? Her cat, Hisspit, niggles at me ...!
