+Oltux72 Posted July 7, 2021 Report Share Posted July 7, 2021 Allomancer Jak is roughly contemporary to Wax and Wayne. Nicelle Sauvage was only mentioned in the broadsheets. But when exactly did those events happen? I think we can conclude from Jak's story that it and Bands of Mourning cannot coincide. Any clues about the timing? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any clues about the timing? Nikki’s happened during BoM, I believe. The book’s map is the one Nazh stole. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mathiau Posted July 13, 2021 Report Share Posted July 13, 2021 Jak is retired and Nicelle is basically his pupil 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any clues about the timing? We now know that TLM reading: Spoiler Jak was around and famous when Wayne was a child, about 20 years before AoL.

Spoiler Wayne’s Ma says the story happened when Jak was young (implying he no longer is) and she tells it about 20 odd years before AoL. Assuming Jak was 30ish when Ma tells the story, he’s 50ish during AoL. Except that he doesn’t ever seem to act that way or show the effects of age, and Wax acts like they’re the same age, even though it seems that Jak is about a decade older. And Jak was mistaken for Wax, which seems unlikely if he’s a full decade older. Basically, there’s something off about Jak. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spoiler 2 Questions: Do we ever see Jak onscreen outside of AU 2: Does this mean Jak is an Atium ferring and he’s using the “lost metal” Ive got to admit I’ve never paid attention to him so I know next to nothing about Jak 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quote “Gentleman Jak,” I said with humility. “Surely you have heard of me.” “So you ain’t that Waxillium Ladrian fellow?” “By the Survivor, no!” ... “A drink,” I roared. “A drink for my friend! For I too would pull a gun on Waxillium Ladrian were I to meet him in person!” 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't even know what y'all are going back and forth on here, I just saw a question I could answer and figured I might as well go for it haha. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AquaRegia Posted July 26, 2021 Report Share Posted July 26, 2021 I agree that the broadsheet stories must be contemporary with the events of the novels they are in, and I'm also very curious about Gentleman Jak, Handerwym, Elizandra, and Nicole Sauvage. I hope we see more of them in tLM! Reading this topic reminded me about the French inspiration of Northern Scadrial character and place names. Anyone else saying "Gentleman Jacques" in their heads now? How is the name pronounced in the audiobooks? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
