Once again I'm impressed by how good your memory is, Farseer. I checked the chapter you mentioned and indeed I found one other instance of a scene captured by the memory stone of what seemed to be a street fight:
Whether this was just drunken discord or a scene of revolt is not clear. Neither is it known when this fight occurred as it doesn't seem that Fitz knows how to control what sort of events the memory stones show him.
Also another speculation: from the described "shadows," it could mean that the fight took place on a dark, ill lit area at night. But could it also be possible that the participants in the fight threw up Skill walls so that the memory stones could not record their identities? How else would Fitz have known that the figures on horses were the City Guard and not, say, soldiers or were participants in the fight?
Quote:My strength of will carried me through a knot of brawling shadows but my resolution failed me when the City Guard came charging down the streets on their massive horses. I leaped to one side to let them pass and winced as I heard the sounds of their falling truncheons.
