Anyone down to cast off the non-intervention policy of Frost and the 17th Shard and join Master Thaidakar and his Ghostbloods? (and I'm only kidding about casting off the Shard. This is one of the best fan forums that I have ever seen.) Sure! Let’s go! btw, that’s the wrong link technically. There is an r/ghostbloods forum. I messaged the moderator (who has a grand total of one post) asking if we could take over.

Chinkoln Posted June 21, 2021 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2021 Ah yes, I love that particular WoB.

I think that narratively too, that was the point of the trophy room, to show the Ghostbloods' reach.

But maybe he indeed knows the way to those places. BTW. is possible Ghostbloods predates Kelsier - mean he just took over Ghostbloods, not found them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elegy Posted August 12, 2021 Report Share Posted August 12, 2021 The Traveller is not really canon, but its first paragraph indicates white trees on Yolen, so I guess the branch wouldn't need to be anything else. Given that Yolen seems to be hard to reach, having a normal Yolish branch on display is probably already flexing 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MGershone Posted August 12, 2021 Report Share Posted August 12, 2021 Since the Ghostblood's whole bit is trying to transport Investiture (in myriad forms) between worlds, even if Mraize himself didn't visit Patji, Yolen, or SIlverlight, it seems logical to assume that either another Ghostblood did it, or whoever did it for the Ghostbloods was subsequently forced to divulge their method of travel/transport. Mraize likes torture, I can imagine him forcing some random person who found a way to get to Yolen or wherever to tell him their methods. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vin and Preservation overthrew the Final Empire; Kelsier completely overlooked the power of Lord Ruler and his plans would amount to little if not for help outside of his control. Even Marsh killing the inquisitors was mostly independent from what Kelsier planned IIRC.

Even Marsh killing the inquisitors was mostly independent from what Kelsier planned IIRC. This I believe was mostly because of his lack of knowledge. He had no way of knowing just how powerful TLR could actually be. Ignorance is a flaw that he has actively worked to correct as of Secret History. He's now learned enough to actively be able to replicate TLR's power (aka the most powerful character we've seen that isn't a Shard or named Nightblood) and we honestly don't really know how much he did learn while wielding Preservation. Kelsier's specialty is turning impossible problems into manageable pieces after all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
