Issue with Info on WoK Purelake Interlude (various articles)


Recommended Posts

Posted

I don't have my book in front of me to double-check, but it seems like the articles have some things confused. 

 

For one thing, Temoo is listed on Galladon's page as one of his aliases. I'm pretty sure that one belongs to Demoux. 

 

In fact, I don't think Temoo and Vao (for Baon) are actually aliases at all. Ishikk thinks that they're using false names, sure, but I believe that they're using their real names with each other. Hoid already knows they're chasing him, and they're on a totally different planet than any of the 3 different worlds they come from. However, because those names are from languages that are unfamiliar to the Purelaker (and the interlude is his POV), we see them written as he hears them.

 

Maybe I'm confused about this, but I really don't think so.

Maybe, but there is nothing to suggest so. It's a 50/50 chance.

Yeah I just double checked this again (though I know I've checked in the past because I thought the same thing when I first noticed it) but the way it reads, to me at least, makes it pretty clear that Baon is addressing Galladon when he says "Temoo".  Him addressing Demoux would be a bit of a non-sequitur since he and Galladon are in the middle of an argument.  Also Temoo does fit the feel of a Dula name.

Okay, I just checked it out, and it does make the most sense for him to be responding to Galladon. The only alternative is that he was kind of saying, "And what objection do you have, Demoux?" That is a bit of a stretch, though.

It seems very odd, though. Vao and Temoo are exactly how someone might mishear Baon and Demoux.

What intetlude is this in? Just wanna re-read it, since I know who Baon is now.

 

Not sure why nobody has answered you, and you've probably discovered it on your own by now anyway, but it's the very first WoK interlude, "Ishikk".

The does make a very good amount of sense. Hope it is them, love the way he slides things into the story so we go crazy over it later.

It's definitely them. Confirmed by WoB and everything. I just thought it seemed weird that Temoo is Galladon's alias, when it sounds almost exactly like Demoux.
