Dymphna Posted April 8, 2014 Report Share Posted April 8, 2014 Does anyone know or understand why many of the chapters in The Way of Kings often started with those words in the time table? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RShara Posted April 8, 2014 Report Share Posted April 8, 2014 ..Do you mean the epigraphs that head some of the chapters? The Death Rattles? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Observer Posted April 8, 2014 Report Share Posted April 8, 2014 If you haven't finished the book, you're treading on spoiler territory, so be warned. The epigraphs to Brandon's books are always in-universe documents, past present or future. You get Jasnah's research, Navani's journals, and the Death Rattles that Taravangian has been mass-murdering his hospitalized citizens to listen in on. It's his collection of future events, and he records every possible detail about the person who yelled it that could be telling, up to and including how long it took them to die afterwards. If you want more on the Death Rattles, check out the thread for it about 3 below in this forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dymphna Posted April 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2014 Ok, that makes sense. Yes, I have finished the book. Thank you. I read on audible and sometimes figuring out where breaks are is difficult. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
