Ynax he/him Posted March 12, 2015 Posted March 12, 2015 The people who where going to change the lifeless troops command and then commit suicide?
Curiosity he/him Posted March 12, 2015 Posted March 12, 2015 Shai's Essence mark with the "peasant" personality programmed into it?
Paragrin she/her Posted March 12, 2015 Posted March 12, 2015 No. Half the guesses have been the right world.
phattemer Posted March 12, 2015 Posted March 12, 2015 It's not the Book of Endless Pages? Holy Writ of the Devotary of Sincerity? Hmmm.... uhh.
vineyarddawg Posted March 15, 2015 Posted March 15, 2015 /pokes thread with a stick How about another clue, Paragrin?
Paragrin she/her Posted March 15, 2015 Posted March 15, 2015 (edited) Nope to both. This goes through two terrible puns, one of which involves Latin. (Or any Romance language, really.) Edited March 15, 2015 by Paragrin
phattemer Posted March 15, 2015 Posted March 15, 2015 Ok, so it's from Elantris, and involves a Latin pun. Ummmm, is it an Aon?
vineyarddawg Posted March 16, 2015 Posted March 16, 2015 A terrible Latin pun? Semper ubi sub ubi. (Always wear underwear.) But seriously, I would say either a soulforger's stamp or an item/person who has been stamped by a soulforger.
kinxer he/him Posted March 16, 2015 Posted March 16, 2015 I know you said it's from a specific world, but... the Ars Arcanum?
Aleksiel Posted March 16, 2015 Posted March 16, 2015 Which world is it then? And another hint may be?
Paragrin she/her Posted March 16, 2015 Posted March 16, 2015 It's from Scadrial. It's a specific object.
vineyarddawg Posted March 17, 2015 Posted March 17, 2015 (edited) Preservation's Shardpool The metal plate from the conclave/monastery/whatever it was called EDIT: Or Kredik Shaw? Edited March 17, 2015 by vineyarddawg
kinxer he/him Posted March 17, 2015 Posted March 17, 2015 Malatium? Electrum? (Both based on "sin" = "without" and "seer".) 2
Lord Pifferdoo he/him Posted March 17, 2015 Posted March 17, 2015 Alendi's journal? Sazed's Copperminds? Sazed's book, post-Ascension?
Paragrin she/her Posted March 17, 2015 Posted March 17, 2015 Nobody's got it yet. Kinxer is on the right track.
Aleksiel Posted March 17, 2015 Posted March 17, 2015 (edited) Copper? Smoker? Edited March 17, 2015 by Aleksiel
kinxer he/him Posted March 17, 2015 Posted March 17, 2015 (edited) I haven't come up with anything new yet, but I was under the impression Paragrin meant I was on the right track with the Latin pun, not the metals. Along those lines, is it a unique object, or something generic (like, for example, the metals we've been guessing)? EDIT: Wait, is it the Terris prophecy? Edited March 17, 2015 by kinxer 1
Aleksiel Posted March 17, 2015 Posted March 17, 2015 I don't know Latin, so I have no idea what the pun might be.
kinxer he/him Posted March 17, 2015 Posted March 17, 2015 Malatium? Electrum? (Both based on "sin" = "without" and "seer".) This is what I meant, Aleksiel.
Paragrin she/her Posted March 17, 2015 Posted March 17, 2015 It is a unique object, and kinxer's impression is correct (and they've got half of the first pun). The pun seems to work in all/most of the Romance languages, so you can use those if you know them. It shows up in two Dan Brown books, where it is presented as an etymology. It's not.
