I can't get a clear idea of the timeline to my mind to answer this questions. Are we sure King Wisdom didn't meet the original Elderlings & negotiated with them? Did he even need to wake the stone dragons like Fitz did, or did the Elderlings do that for him? ==> When did the cataclysm happen? Before the ancestors of the Farseers sailed from the Out Islands or after?
as the Wit is required to wake the stone dragons, can we assume King Wisdom was Witted?
Wow I hadn't considered that he actually met Elderlings!
I just assumed, as I think the characters in the Farseer trilogy do, that the Elderlings WERE the stone dragons (but yes, good point, we know they aren't!)
As to whether the Cataclysm happened before or after 'Taker' coming from the Outislands..... well I'd love to know but I really am not sure! Hmmm maybe Farseer has a dossier on this......
My impression was that the cataclysm happened long before the Farseers inhabited Buck...... otherwise I would have thought the actual Elderlings would have been better recorded in their history?
I am presuming by the presence of the Skill pillar not too far from Buckkeep (the one Fitz comes back through at the end......) means that Elderlings would have visited there on a regular basis before the cataclysm, and didn't Farseer mention an actual Elderling habitation of some kind near Forge?
ie If it was the actual Elderlings that Wisdom visited couldn't he have found them closer to home?
