High Prelan was among the highest ranks of the steel ministry, right?

Besides I have cool tattoos around my eyes, but I serve an evil empire, I guess is a draw.

You don't need any kind of magic for me to fulfill that command.

Your signature makes a compelling case as to the power of Bacon Masters! Though they may lack the refinement and expertise of Waffle Cooks ;)

Sooo… I may have just changed my signature to reflect my position as well (it might end up being refined and edited later, we'll see).

Definitely a downgrade in my opinion. 

But I don't even remember what exactly I am right now... So kudos to knowing your abilities.

Yeah, that's what I thought.

Hmm...I don't remember either. To the Coppermind!

Apparently it's from Elantris. Means a trickster or "wit killer."

But now you are part of a suicide cult, that's fun, although you only have one chance.

Coppermind has it as Elantrian for trickster, joker, literally Wit Killer. I picture it as someone who makes jokes so funny that anyone who hears them dies of laughter. Like the Monty Python sketch.

An American that knows Python. Your me-ness knows no bounds.

The Four Yorkshiremen is still one of the most wonderful bits of comedy ever produced.

I grew up on Monty Python and Fawlty Towers. 

My mom loved British Comedy.

I dunno, the skit about how to hide is one of my favorites. I don’t recall the name of it. And of course the Spam skit.

I stumbled across this wonderful resource and had to bookmark the page, but it's the source of where "Enefel" comes from.

History and Use

Some scholars have expressed amusement that this symbol should come to mean intelligence in a broad sense, as the classical meaning of Aon Ene was far more narrow. Ene was the Aon which represented cleverness, the ability to outwit and outthink opponents. It was often applied in stories and tales to those who had a slyness about them, and often was the symbol which represented the trickster figure. Indeed, those who played tricks on others were said to be Enefels—literally, Wit Killers, or those who kill with wit.

During the Middle Era, when Elantris's influence expanded and the kingdom of Arelon began to take shape, Aon Ene was attributed to the guild of storytellers who brought tales of the marvels in Elantris. It was often rumored that these people, who took upon themselves the Enefel name, were agents of the Elantrians. Their purpose was to spread good will about the city and its inhabitants, calming the rural populace, who regarded Elantris and its magics with suspicion.

Over the centuries, this guild of storytellers transformed into a more scholarly group who gathered stories and histories from the people. By the dawn of the Late Era—about two centuries before the fall of Elantris—the group had burgeoned beyond its origins into several distinct sects of scholars and philosophers. By the time of the fall of Elantris, the constant association of this group with Aon Ene expanded its meaning into the more familiar use, representing scholarly intelligence and study.

Some still remember the original meaning, however. Most of those are themselves scholars, and find the entire transformation to be something of a humorous joke played by history itself.

That page is nothing but Brandon going of on the history and use of different Aons. If you already knew about it, good for you, but for me it's an awesome find.

Well, all I know is that my purpose in life is to make plants grow without being smothered by ash and hope the nobles don't notice my daughters.
