TwistedMisting Posted January 14, 2014 Report Share Posted January 14, 2014 So the epigraph at the beginning of ch55: A woman sits and scratches out her own eyes. Daughter of kings and winds, the vandal. Does anyone else think this could be referring to Shalash? My reasoning here is that I've heard that she was the daughter of Jezrien who was a king before he became a Herald. He is also the Stormfather. That certainly fits the 'kings and winds' part. And scratching out her own eyes, and referring to her as a vandal could be related. to her destruction of any artistic representations of herself (this is assuming she is Baxil's mistress). I know it's only a small thing, but I thought I'd just throw that out there and see what others think. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheese Ninja Posted January 14, 2014 Report Share Posted January 14, 2014 We're pretty sure at this point. In Baxil's interlude, she actually gouges the eyes of a bust of herself. She is, by definition, a vandal. (One who willfully or maliciously defaces or destroys public or private property.) That's the whole reason someone asked if she was Jezrien's daughter in the first point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shardlet Posted January 14, 2014 Report Share Posted January 14, 2014 Yeah, this one is almost, if not totally, universally accepted by the community to be the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Argent Posted January 15, 2014 Report Share Posted January 15, 2014 Further strength is provided by a WoB telling us Shallash is Jezrien's - the Stormfather's - daughter. Matches the "daughter of kings and winds" requirement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
