Pattern Posted January 2, 2017 Report Share Posted January 2, 2017 (edited) While rereading Elantris, I took a look at the Aon dictionary and stumbled over the Aon IRE, meaning "Time, Age". Any thoughts about it being connected to the Ire in SH? (Somehow an obvious similarity, so I searched the forum for it and didn't find anything - if there is something I didn't find, just pull this over there.)

A Budgie Posted January 2, 2017 Report Share Posted January 2, 2017 Oh yes, I'm pretty sure it's confirmed that the Ire group in Secrect History are a group from Elantris. There should be an article on Coppermind wiki: and here it is.http://coppermind.net/wiki/Ire It doesn't have much though, mostly just what's in SH. We haven't really encountered them much yet; apart from in SH I think they're mentioned in one of Kriss' essays in AU, because they refuse to co-operate with her.

The One Who Connects Posted January 2, 2017 Report Share Posted January 2, 2017 (edited) Of note to the Aon itself being time or age, Brandon has used several variants of "old" and "very old" to talk about the Ire. I don't know how much of a big deal that actually is, but I thought I'd point it out. Edited January 2, 2017 by The One Who Connects Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
