Spoilers - The Dor and Cultural Self-Perception
coyotecraft replied to Curiosity's topic in Elantris and Emperor's Soul
Raoden at one point pondered how many different ways there were to access the Dor. Since he thought he saw Shuden glow while performing some ChayShan martial arts. I don't know much about martial arts but I think in Tai Chi "finding your center line" is a thing. I'm new to the whole Shard thing about Dominion and Devotion since I haven't read anything outside the Sel books. But if Aon Dor and Forgery magic are drawing power, or whatever, from a location like ley line. Then maybe it's possible to draw from your own center as well. Then again, it's possible ChayShan might be stronger in Jindo; we don't know. It's strange that the seon (plural?) functioned perfectly fine despite the chasm line. They were only affected when their masters were stuck or frozen in an incomplete Elantris transformation. I feel like that's a clue. Like maybe the flow of the Dor comes through their masters, and had less to do with their own Aon being incomplete? Again, I don't know anything about shards or realms because that's all outside knowledge to me at this point. -

I read/heard in an older podcast on Writingexcuses.com, when ask if Brandon would change or rewrite anything for Elantris now that he knows more. He said he would tweek a few things at the end. I wonder if the "Math" he was talking about was steps Adien mentioned? Is dividing that number in half all he really change, and was it really that important? Anyways, I just finished the ebook. The extra content at the end could be easy to miss, on my kindle app anyways, it's not included in the page count. It goes to a suggestion page after the final chapter. I only went back because my library showed I was only 91% complete. I still had all the deleted scenes and Ars Arcanum to read. I don't know if I'd care for Raoden's Insane brother. But the scene of him playing "stones" was kinda funny.
