a crown that is literally the diary of those that have worn it
a way to pass not just knowledge but perhaps also wisdom
to the younger generation.
interesting
Kuraimizu that implies that Peonie will be much better equipped to rule than we had previously been led to believe, especially if the crown contains memories or knowledge from those before Urtica. Also, it’s probably the only truly secure way for him to communicate vital information to her other than in person in a warded room.
Oh look, the king actually trusts someone! For the time being!
Peonie isn’t – quite – the ditz that she seems, a lot of the time.
She REALLY doesn’t want to take the throne, though.
presumably the situation between the two of them is such that her doing anything bad to him would be to her disadvantage, or at the very least not in her best interest.
Okay, so that crown isn’t like the Diadem worn by Great Leader in “TMI” (as in, it can be removed safely and easily)
Elfseeker: you mean Franca? Why does it have to be, he only trusts her because anything she does to him will pale compared to what will happen to her in reaction?
…I think she’s a Traveler. One of the disappeared deities…!
there is also the possibility that she would gain nothing by doing so. not too many critters about that would see the world thusly, I imagine. 🙂
Folks, we know there are elemental spirits out there. Did we not have a murderous drowny water nymph back in the day? Does it thus seem so far-fetched that we would have other of the elemental folk in this universe? I think she’s prolly a dryad. And since trees grow in large groups we call forests, it makes sense to me that dryad societies are large, and thus socially organized.
So does this mean that some of Urtica’s incredible foresight and meticulous planning for all contingencies is actually the result of him wearing that crown and presumably gaining the insights of all the kings who came before him?
@Balrighty – a sword is simply a sharp piece of metal. What it can accomplish is up to the skill of the person who wields it.
@Tahnru, although I believe the point you intended to make is valid, I think your version leaves out crucial details. A sharpened piece of metal might bend, break, or dull in the hands on any wielded. A sword, in the hands on the untrained is little more than a sharp piece of metal, but in the hands of a properly schooled swordsman, a sword is a forged, annealed, hardened, and well-balanced tool, capable of cleaving an armored torso from pauldron to crotch—or actually singing through gorget, throat, and spinal column to remove a head but leave hardly a hint of its passage. In short, it is a proper weapon of war, as far removed from a sharpened piece of metal as was Socrates from his constituent molecules. But remember, this applies inly in the hands of a true warrior.
This is… intriguing. I wonder, what exactly is the relationship between Urtica and Franca?
@Chaucer59 you do know what Socrates’s last words were?
“I drank what?”
Loving this storyline so far. Keep up the good work!
seems to me that the reference eating s!!t implies a relation to fungus
