Xaladin he/him Posted July 1, 2016 Report Share Posted July 1, 2016 From in-book The Way of Kings, we have: Those candle flames were like the lives of men. This is being used by Nohadon in a metaphor about men and kingdoms. Read tWOK chapter 26: Stillness for the metaphor. Don't the souls of people appear like candle flames in the Cognitive Realm? How much did Nohadon know? Perhaps his metaphor can tell us a little more about how the Cognitive Realm works? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormgate he/him Posted July 1, 2016 Report Share Posted July 1, 2016 Perhaps that metaphor permeated the Rosharian consciousness enough for the souls of men to literally appear as flames. I'm not sure it's likely, but Nohadon was, in likelihood, a Knight of some such, or perhaps a Lightweaver, Elsecaller, or Willshaper took him to the Cognitive Realm to visit. In any case, I think you're on to something. I don't know what, but you're on to something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oversleep Posted July 2, 2016 Report Share Posted July 2, 2016 Or it is only a coincidence. It's not a unusual metaphor, flame as souls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
