Okey i just realized something and i need to write it down sorry folks.And sorry for my grammar. Im just learning english.After reading somewhere if maybe in reality Kvothe is Taborling. And all the tales about Taborlin are profecys, and in reality its about Kvothe.Let me gather the proofs. But before that: The only one thing we know that knows the future is the Cthaeh.But! he is in the fae realm im i right? Well back then he wasn't! The Chtaeh is not a Tree! First:"I daresay you are. I am no tree. No more than is a man a chair. I am the Cthaeh.Second:"There are no red ones left." The voice was nonchalant. "And the blue ones are ever so slightly sweet." I saw a flicker of movement, and another pair of sapphire wings began spinning slowly to the ground. "You're Felurian's new mauling, aren't you?" I hesitated, but the dry voice continued as if I'd answered. "I thought as much. I can smell the iron on you. Just a hint. Still, one has to wonder how she stands it."A pause. A blur. A slight disturbance of a dozen leaves. Two more wings twitched, then fluttered downward. The Ctheah is something that lives ON the tree. But i dont think it was always like this. I think before he was in the human realm. If he knows about everything he knows that the Seven wants to destroy everything. That includes the Fae and the Human world. But i dont think the Cheath wants to die... He loves to make the life miserable for the humans and the faes but he doesnt want that they vanish. So back then he started to tell tales about the Great Taborlin! who knows eveythings name, has a magic cloak, calls down the Lightning and Fire. Uses the name of Wind and Stone.In one story told by Old Cob, Taborlin confronts the Chandrian while locked in a high tower.(the University anyone?)He calls the name of stone to break himself out of the tower and the name of the wind to set him safely on the ground.But not only that. We know Taborlin is known to have worn an amulet (gram) that protects him. We know from one tale in the Waystone in that Taborlin had a sword too like kvothe an they mistake the two swords.There is too much to be a simple coincidence.And Felurian didnt even know about Taborlin:"Surprisingly, Felurian had never heard of Taborlin the Great or Oren Velciter, but she did know who Illien was." That is... weird if you ask me.Then ther are the small poems about the lackless:Seven things has Lady LacklessKeeps them underneath her black dressOne a ring that’s not for wearing(kvothe got a wooden ring not for wearing from Lady Lackless)One a sharp word, not for swearing(Remember the letter kvothe got from her? )Right beside her husband’s candleThere’s a door without a handle(the door the kvothes room? the secret passage?)In a box, no lid or locksLackless keeps her husband’s rocksThere’s a secret she’s been keepingShe’s been dreaming and not sleepingOn a road, that’s not for travelingLackless likes her riddle raveling.Seven things stand beforeThe entrance to the Lackless doorOne of them a ring unworn(still the wooden ring)One a word that is forswornOne a time that must be right(full moon maybe like for the fae realm?)One a candle without light(we know that on the thing that Nina saw in Treborn there is a part with Heliax and two candles, one with fire and one with "black fire")One a son who brings the blood(lackless blood? Kvothe ofc)One a door that holds the floodOne a thing tight-held in keepingThen comes that with comes with sleepingi still dont know most of the meaning behind the poem but its 100% a prophecy...So my theory is that the Cthaeh wants to save the world, he doesnt want to watch the world burn.. just some unlucky ppl. Out of boredom. But i think he wants Kvothe to stop the chandrian. And about Elodin being Taborlin: Eloding said that the first time he spoke a name he was 14 and Elxa Dal didnt want to teach him something. So Elodin is not Taborlin just some strong namer. Spoiler Alert:So Kvothe gets a tingling sensation in his pants while he is retelling the Felurian bit and decides that running an inn isn't all that fun. He goes back into the forest with her and the whole book shifts into fantasy-literotica. I would like to say to Mr. Hotfuss that I was not expecting this but I would be lying. It was really the only possible conclusion to the series. Splendid job.
What do You think about Doors Of Stone (2000)?
I know Kvothe is the ultimate Gary Stu, but damn I do love this series and Pat can fucking write.
