Hey! I got a signed poster "Luring the Draccus" a couple years ago. I love it but I'm moving and for a variety of reasons it has been decided it will not be going up in the new apartment :(

I'm In DC for the next week and then I'll be in Boston. It's free for anyone who can pick it up!

There is a rumor that Kvothe hears early on at the university about Ambrose and the many women he has driven away with his "charms". One in particular was a girl named Tabetha who disappeared mysteriously. I think this might be the girl that Kvothe named Auri.

I've listened to the audiobooks once through, but I am still very new to the series, so let me know if you have any evidence to present, either for or against this theory.

Bast at one point mentions 'The White Sisters'. Could the white sisters be Felurian and Pale Alentha (one of the seven). They are both described as pale skinned women. Neither of them are of the mortal realm. They are both, quite scandalously, in the habit of going about their day-to-day lives in an advanced state of undress.

First of all if this was posted anywhere else I apologize.

So given all of the theories known and what seems to be a general consensus that is most likely accepted as canon.

I believe the lockless box Kvothe has in his room in the waystone inn, is the same one mentioned in the Wise Man's Fear owned by his bitchy aunt. Somehow he opens it with help from the Key given to him from Auri.

Not sure what's in it but this helps him open the Doors of Stone, Jax and the moon locked away. Onced freed the Faen realm and the mortal realm begin to merge back together. This is why the Scrael shows up from what's supposed to from another realm. Pat also said we need to get used to the idea that Kvothe doesn't win. So I believe when he opens the doors of stone he is unable to fix that and the mortal realm is in chaos. This brings about the calamity of talking to the Cthaeh.

I just finished re-reading Wise Man's Fear and in the meeting with Denna at the river it seems like Denna knows what Kvothe is thinking. Kvothe is thinking about how to convince Denna to leave Master Ash. Before he can say anything, Denna cuts him off and starts talking about how Kvothe was whipped by the University. It seems like she has gained the ability to know what Kvothe is thinking.

One thing that has never been explained is why Denna, in the middle of the book, asks Kvothe, Sim and Wil about magic and later she and Master Ash go to Yll, she learns knot-language. In my theory, she has gained a kind of magic.

In fae realm time doesnt work like in the world and when kvothe meats cthaeh he should be killed but he didnt and the who should kill kvothe when he talks cthaeh went to hunt down chandrians and i think because the time abnormalitie kvothe got lucky and didnt get killed in both time

I was wondering if the MOS could be changed. I agree that there shouldn't be a ton of detail in the summary part (currently called "In the Chronicle" on character pages), but would it be possible to change this to be "Synopsis of ____ in the Chronicle" and add a "Detailed Recounting of Role in the Chronicle" or something beneath it with more specifics. I am currently writing a screenplay for a single camera show based on the trilogy for fun and it's a pain in the a** to try to find the right place in the books whenever I need to look something up.

We know that faen are basically immortal and don't change appearance. Bast may appear young, but can be very old. Perhaps he appeared to Kvothe's mother long ago and things happened. And she became pregnant. A traveling troupe of Edema Ruh came along and a young, handsome fellow named Arliden flirted with her a bit and she told him her secret. That she's pregnant and her family was going to kill her or put her in a convent or something. He agreed to raise the baby as his own.

Why don't Arliden and Laurian have other kids when they're obviously sexually active? Perhaps Arliden is sterile.

I just re-read the scene in Wise Man's Fear where Kvothe overhears Denna's conversation with a scared girl about the realities of life as a whore. I get the feeling that Kvothe came to the conclusion that Denna was having sex with all her boys and that made him feel betrayed so he felt okay about having sex with others instead of being true to Denna. But this is part of his tragedy. Maybe Denna was saving herself for Kvothe. It seems like in her conversation with the girl, Denna mentions that there is the option of "burning bridges" by disappearing before things go too far. But Kvothe maybe interprets the conversation as she's having sex with her boyfriends.

Now, that doesn't necessarily mean she is a virgin. But maybe she is, or she is voluntarily celibate (but has been abused or sexually active in the past). Thoughts?

And dont forget that betrayal comes from your friend not your enemies and to think that kvothe dont have to much friends who would betray him

Why is Kilvin trying so hard to find this lamp? An ordinary personal obsession? Or is it something much more important? Could the ever-burning lamps have a key role in the series? Do you have any theory about this issue?

Why manet and elodin ask about same question to kvothe about spades

I'm reading through the series for the third time now, and something struck me during my journey through Vintas. In Chapter 65, as Kvothe is playing Tak with Bredon, Kvothe misunderstands the "true meaning of the game." You can see the ire in Bredon's eyes, and he proceeds to utterly and dispassionately defeat young Kvothe multiple games in a row. That is the first substantial piece of evidence that leads me to believe that Bredon is playing a much bigger game. The second being his gentle drift back into calmness as he explains the true purpose of the Tak. Now that you have the flush of anger in your mind and the settling of that storm in such quick succession, hear his words. "Why would I want to win anything other than a beautiful game?" I don't think he was just talking about Tak.
