questions
I don't expect people to know the answers but maybe someone has an idea or theory of some sort. If you know anything from short stories I'm not apposed to spoilers.
1. Eldering interaction with dragons
1.1 dragons traveling
What happens to elderlings when their dragons travel. Do they get left behind?
1.2 interaction with other dragons
How do elderlings interact with other dragons. For example when the "water" is being lifted by the elderling, wouldnt she have her own dragon to care for?
2. elderling technology
What is the source of the technology? Memory stone? Liquid "skill"? Using skill to change the properties of different materials?
3. Magic
3.1 similarities to the skill
How similar is the elderings abilities to the skill. The dragons make no mention of healing or similar abilities and the elderlings get an automatic booste to their lifespans. And they don't seem to have a connection to the skill river.
3.2 source of the skill
How did the skill come about? Its very specifically stated pureblood
outilsanders and purblood mainlanders don't have acess to the skill. Though it probably came from icefyre how did it come about.
4. society
How did the elderlings society work. A council of elders. A queen [which I doub due to how dragn soiety works]?
5. dragons abilities
What abilities do the dragons have. We know tintigalia has skill dreaming but why dont the rain wild cripples show similar abilities? And didnt a ship heal the sociopathic pirate king [kennit].
6. tintiagalias elderlings
we know that at least one of them has access to a form of skill. But are they true elderlings. I remember [I might be wrong] that tintigalia said tht they would live to about eighty but also that their desendents would also be elderlings and live much longer. But the rainwild chronicles disproves this. Why did tintigalia lie? Did the author decide to change the plotline? Dis she have a goal?
