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

[Farseer]

You are right that there is a very, very clear distinction in the text between the evidence of Realder's Dragon of Farseer and the evidence of Realder's Dragon of Tawny Man, Relpda...no matter how or by who it is interpreted. The evidence in this regard is irrefutable.

As noted in other threads where I have prattled on about this, G-o-a-D is in an entirely different location (the quarry) to the dragon Fool recalls promising to fly him from his dream (the stone garden) and who he also greets as 'Realder'. As they reach the Stone Garden first, it is 'Realder' who we and the party are first introduced to, and it is only upon entering the quarry that we are later introduced to G-o-a-D. Both locations are quite a distance from each other on foot, thus Fitz used the Skill-pillars when he went to awaken the simulacra at Verity's bidding. In this there is no way that one can be confused with the other.

Also, G-o-a-D is already awakened and in flight, with Fool on her back, when Fitz and Nighteyes awaken 'Realder' and the other dragons. 'Realder' is also the very last dragon to leave the Stone Garden on the way to purging the Six Duchies of the Red Ships etc whereas G-o-a-D was the first to leave, with Fool on her back, leading the charge. EDIT: All from memory but will check later too!

As this was one of my favourite bits of the F and TM books (a lot concerning Realder hinged on my Rooster Crown theory which I still haven't shared yet!), I noted this on my very first read and the discrepancy, more than any other crazy theory I've had, has driven me to multiple re-reads!

There is a possible reason, aside from a plot error but, as I am in the middle of school already, I will have to come back and chat about. Will also try and find those other threads in the meantime.

I must also admit that I have almost asked Robin about this multiple times...and think I will have to one day not too far away!
