ftl Posted November 27, 2020 Posted November 27, 2020 So, now that we have pretty good evidence that Thaidakar is Kelsier, it prompted me to take another look at the Ghostblood's symbol. https://coppermind.net/wiki/Ghostbloods#/media/File:Ghostblood.svg . Could it be a stylized image of a marewill flower? Do we know how many petals the flower has? 4
dannnex male Posted November 27, 2020 Posted November 27, 2020 Ooooo I like this idea. I don’t think we know the number of petals, or if we do, it isn’t in the Coppermind article. Kel has always used the flower as a symbol, makes sense for him to literally make it a symbol now.

It also looks like a cool as hell symbol abstracted like it is so that's a plus. I wonder does Mare play any sort of role in Surivorism? They seem to venerate all the crew members (and Elend) with titles like “Counselor of Gods” and “The Last Emperor” and stuff, but I don’t actually recall seeing one for Mare.
Rashekin he/him Posted July 4, 2022 Posted July 4, 2022 Mmmmmmmmmm Quote Kingsdaughter613 (paraphrased) Is the Ghostblood symbol a stylized marewill flower? Isaac Stewart (paraphrased) RAFO! No, actually that’s WAFO - wait and find out. JordanCon 2021 (July 16, 2021) 6

Also: Quote MrCargoPants Im thinking on using a marewill flower in a tattoo soon but after searching i cant decide which flower resemble the most. If you ever thought about it which would be your decision? Ben McSweeney There’s a canon design forthcoming at some point soon. It became important enough to make something of it. General Reddit 2022 (Jan. 14, 2022) This would be a plausible reason for why it "became important enough", because the Marewill flower has not become more important at all. But obviously, the Ghostbloods have. I imagine we can expect answers in Lost Metal . . . 5

ftl Posted July 5, 2022 Author Posted July 5, 2022 Sweet! Sounds like I had a good guess and it fits! Where's that image from? I can 't find it online.

Suda21 Posted July 6, 2022 Posted July 6, 2022 The second I saw the flower design I realized how close it looked to the Ghostblood symbol. It is such a fitting touch and brings such a deeper meaning to logo. Especially since people gotta get it tattooed onto them. I am sure there is so much more meaning to it now.

Mare and Clubs are conspicuously absent. Dox gets one mention on the Basin map (Doxonar) - otherwise it is mostly crew from HoA that faced Ruin and/or survived the Catacendre. I also wish Goradel had gotten a nod on the maps or in the lore - talk about the forgotten lynchpin. . . Edited July 9, 2022 by Treamayne Content
cometaryorbit Posted July 6, 2022 Posted July 6, 2022 Huh, that is not at all what I thought a Marewill flower would look like...
