Great page. A bother protecting his brother clearly these two care about each other a lot.
Or perhaps cared is a better term. Or at the very least Typhan cared for his brother, if not the other way around. Can’t imagine getting exiled to hide Typhan’s secret would leave his brother overly pleased.
Makes you wonder.. What happened to Mellan? Also.. How come did not take it back when they were exailed.
@Insectoid – yeah, when I rearranged the posts which were already scheduled to do the Wednesday post last week the system didn’t know what to do with the thumbnails it had already generated. I tried getting them to refresh and, well, you know the results of that.
or maybe Melan openly resents being in exile because Typh denied him the throne all those years ago, and sent assassins to “correct” that mistake.
If Typhan claimed responsibility, why was Melan exiled as well?
Lurker,
Because the other people put the events done to the fact that Typhan was the son of an outsider (their mother). That was true for both brothers.
Ok, so Mellan killed Ravin, Typh claimed responsibility and they were exiled by his hunting party to hide the truth of Ravin’s death and Typh’s Sexyality.
SO! Is Typh’s sexuality why the hunting party was up there then? They knew or suspected and exiled both boys to hide it, or both boys agreed to exile?
Why did Typh claim responsibility for killing Raviner? Is it to save his brother or claim glory? Why is his death something that would loose face for the family or the tribe? Because he was killed by family or because he was defeated by two boys and a woman?
Supposedly the hunting party decided to kill or foreigners and/or foreign blood AFTER they exiled the boys and Melan was displeased upon his return because his mother was a foreigner. Maybe this indicates that he did love his mother and killed Raviner because he killed her.
Interesting that he calls it his brother’s sword as well. Is that because he was holding it at the time or because Raviner had already passed it on to Melan after being displeased with it’s ability?
Something occurs to me. If Typhan-Knee was petting that unicorn BEFORE he was transformed into a woman, that means he was a virgin male. But, if that’s so, that means he wasn’t exactly raping that boy as we saw. His father must have surprised him just before the act took place. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be a virgin. So he wasn’t that much of a rapist, after all, just really in it for the pillaging.
@Charles: Correct. That is EXACTLY what they were going to approach Raviner about. Being proper Ash Tribe men, they pinned the blame for Raviner’s “tainted progeny” on Gillian (and eventually foreigners in general).
The Ash Tribe were kinda dicks like that.
So there Slawter of the foreign blood was to Remove the Gay Genes. Sadly I can See this Reasoning happening.
Notice Northwind Led Mellan to kill Ravin as that Was the right Path..
Thing about the right Path and North Wind..
By who’s standards is the Path Right and what is Failure and success?
I mean If North Wind cares about the Right path to LEAD the Wielder on a Path of righteousness or On a right Path as the wielder sees it.
I Mean it all depend on the Goals. Is it the Wielders comfort and happiness or Is it A Teacher that wants to Make a HERO. Or a King?
Peonies Dad would like it if it was about the Weilders Personal good or Kingdoms no so much if it was for the “Lawful Good Hero”
It would make the wielder Never Execute a innocent man.
And what if it was the wielders Personal good it cared about it would make Peonies Dad Dump the Kingdom and run off with the assassin Guild Leader. As he gives the impression he hates being King.
The Point Is WE have no Idea WHAT NORTH WINDS Idea of following Right Path Means.
Personally I would throw it into the nearest Volcano.
Don’t believe North Wind leads people to kill, it only determines whether that act will cause death or nudity
@Guesticus ether Way I would not trust it as far as I could throw it into a Nice Long Magma BATH!
@Wint: you’ve been reading Erfworld 😉
I dunno. I mean, the hunting party put it down to foreign blood so its possible the sword predicted that if Raviner had lived he would have used the same excuse and killed Gillian and both the sons she bore him.
This way it’s just an exile and he comes back to mop the floor with them.
Not saying Norf didn’t play a part in Rav’s death, just saying Norf doesn’t make you kill, that would imply that Norf is able to control people
@Guesticus Thats kind of my Point. It’s been implied that Norf is able to control people. See it dose not Just ask you or Tell you not to take the Wrong Path, IT MAKES you! That kind of sounds Exactly Like Control. It Makes the right choices but we do not know what that means, Right for them? Right for the person they will some day be? Right for Justice? And it Enforces the Choices. It might be no worse than refusing to Kill a innocent like Sister Teresa or it might be a lot Darker. Like Faden’s Mistakes or it might be the real being righting in that one Book. We do not know. It Is clear it could of spared Raviner (Injured him put him in a coma) but it wanted him dead and I bet Mellan wished that he could just stop him with out killing him but NORTH WIND Knew that this was the Right CHOICE the RIGHT PATH. So I say again mega creepy Sword Plus Lava Pool!
Here another way to put it , a Weapon to be of use needs to be used by a person. But that sword is not wielded by a Master. It instead Masters Wields the Person.It is Making the Moral choices of Good and Evil and Consequences for the Swordhand. Because the human is wielded instead of Wielding the Weapon. If this was a Gun that thinks and choose who to kill and who it dose not it would be scary but bc it a sword we miss the implications. And Again we Realy do not know How Powerful that Sword is.
When I say book I mean the magical book of Answers that teases Tyth. What if this is Really NorthWind ?
is it just me or does the brother’s hair chane from this page and the previous one?
Interesting. In this flashback, all the family wield blades left-handedly — father, mother and the two brothers (but Typh uses a rake with the right hand; and his father strikes him with the right hand as well).
However, when presenting North Wind to Osir, Tiffany draws it with the right hand.
Not gonna lie, found it more interesting when I thought a barbarian heterosexual male was turned into a woman. It plays more meaning on the mind…but whatever.
