Adonalsium'sSpren Posted March 31, 2020 Posted March 31, 2020 I didnt see it anywhere in elantris (the book) and saw references to it on this website, please tell me what they are. Thank you!
Honorless he/him Posted March 31, 2020 Posted March 31, 2020 A Skaze appears in the Postscript of Elantris in the 10th Anniversary Edition. The scene shows Hoid having a conversation with one by a pool (possibly the Pool where Elantrians go to "die"). Hoid was trying to become an Elantrian but had failed. He was still happy with the result as according to him it meant there were still mysteries left in the world for him to uncover. He then hopped into the Pool and disappeared. In sharp contrast to the Seons, which are floating orbs of light with a glowing Aon at their centre, the Skaze are described as being dark. They seem to suck in the light around them, with indistinct edges that blend into the air. They have a ring around their sphere with a pattern of misty symbols. Like the Seons are Splinters of Devotion (Aona), the Skaze are Splinters of Dominion (Skai). 1

The_Archivist he/him Posted April 5, 2020 Posted April 5, 2020 Since skaze are splinters of Dominion, they have a lust for power wich drove them to participate in Fjordell politics and they are now important there.
Elsecaller_17.5 he/him Posted April 22, 2020 Posted April 22, 2020 It's never struck me before how similair a description that is to voidlight.
