(Oct-17-2010, 03:24 PM (UTC))Farseer Wrote: At the very beginning of AA, when Fitz is first taken to Moonseye, he notes the doors of the fortified building that is the base for the Buck guards. He says,

Quote:"The doors were tall, not just to a six-year-old boy, but tall enough to admit giants, to dwarf even the rangy old man who towered over me. And they looked strange to me, although I cannot summon up what type of door or dwelling would have looked familiar."

Given that Fitz has talked about giants as being part of Six Duchies folklore (I have noted this passage down in the Mythical Creatures/Folks thread), and knowing that Moonseye is at the foot of Mountain Kingdom land (possibly north of which is where I think we will soon discover resides, or once did reside, giants of some kind), would it be too much of a stretch to wonder if these doors were made to accomodate literal giants (as could be hinted at in this passage)? I doubt that they would accommodate dragons, as they don't sound anywhere near as immense as the doors that Fitz saw in Kelsingra?

Giants will be somewhere in the future plot (I know it!), and possibly even had a role in the cataclysm, so I am looking for 'giant' clues!!

I can sympathise with Fitz from the times he played the Stone Game and looked at specifics rather than the 'whole picture'...it seems that I get so hung up on certain things here on thePlenty that I forget to look at the whole board. Yes, Farseer, you do!

As much as I would really like for these doors to be large enough to admit giants, possibly they are larger than normal so as to admit Elderlings who are generally a tall or giant-like folk when compared with humans (?), but who would possibly have often worked hand-in-hand with humankind in a location such as Moonseye?
