I was not expecting to make this video this week, but let me know what you think! Do you think it's a stretch connecting the cover with the mouth of truth? I ended up going over some other theories as well. What Kingkiller video do you want to see next?
Any time you have a Kingkiller epiphany definitely upload a video about it, because I always think you're spot on haha
The next Kingkiller video I would like to see is the in depth review for The Doors of Stone. Grrrrrrr
You could at least Google the pronunciation correct dunmb asset morongar
Wow this video made me think of like 12 new theories. Not so many, you might think; but when added to the 50 I carry around inside of me I am full nearly to bursting.
Also could you imagine if Rothfuss wrote this entire series just to have the final words be "curiosity killed the cat?"
Do a video about why Kvothe could not possibly be possessed by a skin dancer.
Oh no, Jay! Now when you discovered the plot Patrick is going to rewrite the story, release date just moved to 2030 :D
Be honest, does anyone really think this thing was ever gonna come out before then, in the first place?
Rothfuss is politely waiting for the youtubers to finish all their theory videos
I doubt that. The goal is a beautiful game.
I think Patrick has 3-4 endings in progress. And is trying to deal with every single loose end.
And honestly, I think it's driving him entirely mad, on top of being a very active parent.
@@NerfThisBoardGames"game"?
@@Elssi tak reference
"Scholars have long sought the meaning of this face."
Some ancient construction worker: "Hey Bill! Come look at this. I made a face. Lol!"
Lol that's exactly how that stuff happens
There's also the point that (adult) Kvothe cannot play music anymore. Like, remember when he swore ON HIS GOOD HAND that he wouldn't try to find who Denna's patron was, BUT if he did, then he technically lied to Denna, thus "LOSING" his hand. Meaning that the fact that the lute is broken in front of the open-mouthed face could also symbolize the price Kvothe had to pay for his lie!!
Very good connection!! I think the cover could definitely be symbolizing that
That would make so much sense!! Especially with the statue being said to cut off the hand of liars.
I hate denna
Fan theory: every time someone posts a fan theory Patrick Rothfus has to then spend 6 more months editing the final book.
I feel like this is completely true
You cannot edit what doesn´t exist.
Imagine if this was the reason 😂😂😭
When you described the Roman Holiday, I could already tell that it’s connected to Kvothe and Denna, since both of them have secrets kept from each other, and Kvothe once sworn his lute-playing hand (his right hand, basically) if he break his promise to Denna for seeking out her mentor. Breaking his promise to her is akin to lying to her, so he lost his ability to play the lute.
Omg that would make so much sense.
I also think its worth mentioning when Kote is telling Bast and Chronicler about Denna's version of Lanre's history, he mentions how in the current world it is a widespread song and very popular. If the chandrian were focused on snuffing out lies it would certainly not be as widespread.
Unless it's the truth
It makes the chandrian look good, why would they snuff it out?
The fact they snuffed out Arlidens song HARD, and let Denna’s spread says a lot, not to mention the fact that her Patron helped her write it and surely spread it 😮
It didn't have names in it like arlidens so it wasn't dangerous or trackable? Then again the mauthens farm was just a pot with pictures as far as we know. So not sure how they knew. But also master ash was there too and helped write the song so that's suspicious.
Denna's patron is Haliax, and is also Bredon
@@over1498 Lets not forget that the song of seven wasnt really about the chandrian, it was about lanre and selitos, which is important but since it makes lanre to look like the good guy i doubt it ends up with the chandrian like skarpys story. Also skarpys version was one seemingly nobody else knew, probably because it talks about the chandrian origins. Also, how could a very popular song talk good about the chandrian? Everybody knows the chandrian are scary and evil and all that stuff, no one would like smt like that
Does anyone thought that while we all wait for the third book, people are creating their own stories and theories just like it happens in the thrilogy? A truth travel from town to town but it loose the details and shape into a different story. Just like it happens between the story that Khvote heard and the song that Dena did.
I don't think that Patrick is delaying the book so people can come up with their own stories. But it's a nice thing to have while waiting for the 3er book. So thanks to all theory creators :D
The only problem I have with your Kingkiller videos is the same one I have with The Kingkiller Chronicles, they're aren't enough of them!
One thing id like to say about Skarpi not being hunted by the chandrian, the adem told him a story about the chandrian, and told him not to repeat it for a thousand days or something, so if skarpi doesn't tell the story often it wouldn't come up on the chandrian's radar, so to speak.
Great channel, keep up the good work hi!
Love love this theory!
One thing got me thinking, the whole “pulling out your eye” thing with the skin dancers.
Someone does lose an eye in Wise Man’s Fear. When Dagon caught up with Caudicus, Caudicus “killed four of the Maer’s personal guard and cost Dagon an eye.”
Could be nothing, but everyone talked about what creepy vibes Dagon gave off. And, Caudicus's motive is pretty unclear too.
It’s an interesting connection.
That. Is one good spot. 👍
Nice!!
I like the skin dancer and haliax theory. Maybe he’s holding Iax’s skindancer (or shadow?) on him as a kind of safeguard? “Alaxel bares the shadows hame.”
I definitely believe Skarpi’s story. I feel like Bast would know about the 7, being from the Fae and all, and when speaking of the Ctheah he mentions Lanre betraying Selitos. If Bast believes it I believe it.
Agreed. I believe the Chandrian are hiding their truth, not punishing lies. Skarpi, whether fully true or not, knows to take precautions when telling this particular story. This makes me think it contains "too much truth", even if perhaps not wholly accurate.
Bast is not that old
@@SingingSealRiana Hes still a Fae
We can assume that the chandrian was able to find Kvothe's trupe, because his father actually digged up some of their true names. Or at least that is what Kote assumes.
Great theory, and great video as well. Thans for this kind of content. :)
The best Kingkiller content maker strikes again! This is fascinating and as soon as you revealed the stone head’s name involved the word “Verita” I literally out loud shouted “OH BOY HERE WE GO”
Also I can’t wait for your book! Based on this video alone all the deep research sounds like it’s going to help craft an incredible world and story. I’m so excited to have it in my hands one day!
Just wow.
This blew my mind. Seems like there´s a LOT of things to analyze in this saga. Great video!
It could also be a tragedy mask. Similar to the covers with a tree on them, which in-world indicates a tragedy.
👌👌👌
Kingkiller theory's are so fun
I've reread both Name of the Wind and Wisemans Fear twice, and I can't even remember half of what your talking about. Either way, I love the in depth research and how siccinct you are. I need to reread this series so I can binge watch all your Kingkiller videos. I'm extremely interested to see what your book would be like.
I think Kvothe killing the fake Edema Ruh was very much an Anakin Skywalker / Darth Vader moment. The very first thing he does when he gets his sword from the Aden is butcher a bunch of people… deserving as they were, his actions were motivated from hatred. Based on all his violent comments and threats we see throughout the story before this… he just seems like a ticking time bomb of impulsive rage. Vashet even saw the darkness in Kvothe and savagely beat him for it during his apprenticeship. I don’t think we can trust him as the narrator of his own story. He has even given constant hints at his tendency to embellish and inflate his reputation.
Well, not compleatly, but the fact he keeps the very unflattering moments, like when he slaughtered the fake ruh in.... He is not making himself look that much better
This video was so good. I'm probably going to have to watch it again.
I'm glad you enjoyed! :)
Sometimes I think that Patrick is collecting our ideas for his kingkiller chronicles and puzzles the best pieces together in a crazy way.
You have the best Kingkiller content on the internet. Please keep up the good work!
Absolutely excellent content… One domain I’d love to hear your take on is how Abenthy is going to play into this!?
I think hes better left behind, young kvothe probably knows the kind of stuff hes going after, he wouldnt make ben a part of that
to me, this is shades of the "Chandrian are good" theory and I just don't buy it
Chandrian keeping Iax held at bay... maybe, but they are NOT good.
I believe Skarpi's story because it's got backup from the Adem and Felurian and Bast even
When I first got the book I had always wondered what on earth the creepy face could have to do with ANYTHING, I had no idea! Thank you for yet another amazing theory with so much mind blowing content, on KKC - keep up the awesome work!
I love how succinct your theories are. This one could have been far-fetched based on how you stumbled upon it but you made your point clear and I have to say I agree with everything in this video. If Rothfuss sees this video he is going to shake his head and wonder how you figured out all his secrets without the 3rd book to shed light on some of these topics.
This video is just...beyond beyond good. 15 minutes has never passed so fast in my life haha. Come ooooon Ruthfuss, please finish DOS!!!
Just wanted to say that your analyses live up to the meaning of the word! It shows you really love Kingkiller Chronicle!
I don’t know what to say except, Wow! Just how much research did you have to do to connect all these dots? I swear you have the best Kingkiller Chronicle videos and theories on CZcams. This video makes me want to reread the Wise Man’s Fear and get re-immersed into this series.
love love love your theories .Thank you ,they keep the fandom for me alive.
Im reading the stormlight archives and theyve reminded me why l value “questioning everything ” so much ...Its easy to take an authors word as law when the storyline seem to imply certain things .When kvothes father is spoken of hes a great leader and man. Talented and very good at finding the true story of things ....l even took a step further and mentally canonised that his ability was “knack” level ....That fact cemented that the Chandrian were killing to stop the spread kf the truth ... but if the fact that kvothes dads story was right is questioned the. theres room to say maybe the chandrian kill for lies...
That its just generally lies about their story tbeyre killing coz of makes the theory hardto swallow fully.
I think coz every kid in the chronicles grows up singing songs of the chandrian the songs must have some innacuracy simply because a story or song is never passed down decades without lies and embillishmemts -- so why aren't all kids killed by the Chandrian ? I think its a specific lie thats too close to the truth that makes tbe Chandrian kill ....hang with me please...
In the general “way of life”
In the general way of life bad and good is about perception. If the Chandrian did everything that the stories say of them maybe its why or how they did these things according to them thats the difference between truth and lie .l love how you say Selitos may be controlled by the skindancer hence he may have “plucked his eye out” and is now evil....maybe Selitos' ideals and protection of those “kingdoms ” was wrong ?
lm waffling now but yeah all your tneories are thought provoking but this particular one is something
I also learned the history behind the design of a monster from one of my favorite video game series. didn't expect that
Your videos are always ridiculously clean!
Also, I loved all the tangents, and the redirect your theory presents. Both make me want to go reread The Kingkiller Chronicles again!
Scarpi says a thing you never touch on that seemed really important to me.
He says " all stories are true, but this one really happened."
I think Scarpi may have a larger role to play still.
Definitely some interesting theories here. I wouldn't put it past Pat to have clues on his covers, especially the anniversary addition.
While rereading the name of the wind I am wondering about The Chronicler. Is he who he says he is? He wrote “The mating rituals of the Common drakis” but through his conversations it sounds like he attended the university after Kvoth…? During chapter 75 Kvoth wondered why he had no response to his story concerning the drakis. ????
Mind blown! Your theory sounds solid. I guess we'll see.
All I've come to realize is I'm going to have reread these books before the third one comes out. It's been a while and I don't remember any of this stuff.
I think the staff breakroom is behind the four plate door.
LOL their sanctuary
“NOBODY WILL DISTURB OUR PEACE”
Really love this video and the various theories you cover!
Never has a channel been so aptly named(pun accidentally intended). We are captive to your unique talent.
I think you're onto something here, but I suspect the connection is more explicit than you've described here. There are many connections between the Norse story of Fenrir, who bites off the god Tyr's hand. I believe that Kvothe will lose his hand, possibly to Denna's patron, and Denna will heal it with a Rhinna flower from the Cthae's tree. Take a look at this excerpt:
“My good right hand?” I suggested.
“Only one hand?” she asked, playfulness creeping back into her tone. She reached out and took both of my hands in her own, turning them over and making a show of inspecting them closely. “I like the left one better,” she decided. “Swear by that one.”
“My good left hand?” I asked dubiously.
“Fine,” she said. “The right. You’re such a traditionalist.”
“I swear I won’t attempt to uncover your patron,” I said bitterly. “I swear it on my name and my power. I swear it by my good left hand. I swear it by the ever-moving moon.”
Naden, from Ademre, has a ruined hand and speaks to Kvothe about how he shouldn't fear losing his hand:
Naden held up his ruined hand again. “I could have gained none of these things if I had lived in fear of losing my hand. If I flinched and cringed, I would never have been accepted into the Latantha. Never made the second stone. I would be whole, but I would be less than I am now.”
Remember what Denna said to Kvothe when they were discussing which flower they'd bring each other?
“What flower would you bring me?” I teased, thinking to catch her off guard.
“A willow blossom,” she said without a second’s hesitation. I thought for a long minute.
“Do willows have blossoms?” She looked up and to the side, thinking. “I don’t think so.”
“A rare treat to be given one then.” I chuckled.
The Cthae tree is described as being a slightly different Willow tree.... With blossoms:
It resembled a vast spreading willow, with broader leaves of a darker green.The tree had deep, hanging foliage scattered with pale, powder-blue blossoms
When Bast describes the flowers that can heal anything, the first thing Kvothe does is look down at his hands:
“The flowers are a panacea, Reshi. They can heal any illness. Cure any poison. Mend any wound.”
Kvothe raised his eyebrows at that. “Ah,” he said, looking down at his folded hands on the tabletop. “I see. I can understand how that might draw a person in, though they knew better.”
Lastly, the Cthae, who may be Encanis, giving him a new hand is eluded to during the Tarbean festival where the man dressed as Encanis gives Kvothe a pair of gloves:
He was a form of darkness, black hooded cloak, black mask, black gloves. Encanis stood in front of me holding out a bright bit of silver that caught the moonlight.
“Take my gloves too.” He pulled them off and pushed them against my chest.
Really enjoy your content as opposed to others its just got a more personable touch i appreciate. Plus i can tell youve got good taste in Fantasy
This is such a great theory. I love thus stuff. You're great at laying it out too. Thanks for all the effort.
Glad you enjoy it! :D Thanks for watching
I'm sure it's a common theory, but Kvoth's latest Lute is going to break in Doors, specifically along it's neck.
Kvoth has lost two lutes already... one crushed and one with a shattered bowl, none with a broken neck.
We know the engineering in a Lute neck can be incredible.
Ambrose knows how precious Lutes are to Kvoth and could afford .
Kvoth haggles with the shopkeep over his 2nd lute having a "sour neck".
The Lute case is far too fine for the current lute and can be reconfigured.
Rothfuss stated in 2018 that "the neck is long (reminiscent of an opharion)"
Now the new name of the wind art shows lute with a broken neck. (Though it does looks like Arliden's)
It's a lot pointing in the same direction.
Will it's replacement be an Antressor? maybe an 8 string played by Illien? And why doesn't Kvothe have a lute @ the waystone?
He lost the ability to play music didn't he? That would explain no lute, as he can't play so why keep one around. Especially if he "doesn't know" if he will ever get the ability back.
@@gholamdapantaloonsniffer8218 Can't see him abandoning a lute... ever.
He has kept other things from his travels and views lutes like family and a part of himself... He likes to move on from things, places and people like they mean nothing when he's hurt or scared... but it's always just a show with people or things he truly treasures.
In the waystone he shows this via the chest, folly, notes from his manuscripts, books relating to the university e.t.c.
In his earlier life we see it in how often he avoids people he loves after any argument... he doesn't want to be vulnerable so tries to deny or abandon attachments and pretends its because he's an Edema Ruh and a nomad.. Denna is much the same so the Severen argument leaves them both acting childishly.
I think he would sooner loose a limb than part with a lute... or a loved one.
Kvoth has the maturity of a child and too much trauma around loss of his environment, treasures, and loved ones. It's like a sickness. He wouldn't sell or throw a lute away of his own volition... unless it was forced on him to save someone that means even more to him than his music.
Your Kingkiller videos mean so much to me! I can't tell you how excited I felt upon seeing you had a new theory! I also am curious about this book you are writing. Where in the writing process are you? Will you make a video on that at some point? Thank you for making my day!
One thing is for sure... Kingkiller has super cool lore.
Great theory. I always thought the face on the 10th anniversary edition was odd.
I’ve never clicked on something so fast YES
Thanks for watching! :D
So many things going on in this video and King killer in general, I just want that book so I can find out!!
Great stuff Jay.
This was a fun rabbit hole
Thank you for your rich theories -- this is making the wait for DOS fun, rather than tedious!
I found out there is a girls name called Chandria. Chandria means moonlight.
There is also a Hindi God of Moon called Chandra. His 27 wives were the daughters of Daksha. Because He was cursed by Daksha because he loved a Wive more than the other Wives.
Can that be important?
Does it sound relevant. Not really.
@@sumbody694 That is not the full Story of Chandra.
I've thought of this before. I've been wondering for a while now if the "Chandrian" are moon followers, and if they are treying to restore the moon to "its proper place" and undo what Iax did so long ago.
@@brettbarton2370 now we’re getting somewhere!
Certainly!
Excited to hear you're writing a book!
I still say the Cthae is trying to get free somehow, of something. It doesn’t make sense for it just to be this malevolent entity that sits in a tree all day, especially not when it seems to have a body separate from the tree.
Seems pretty clear to me too that the butterflies are the way that Rothfuss is going to illustrate the Cthae’s power for us. In books you always need to illustrate a power like that with some kind of mechanism. Hence the butterflies. It even says the last red one falls right as Kvothe got to him, saying it offends his aesthetic, or coyly saying the red ones are positioned to interrupt its planned vision.
I’m not sure how setting Kvothe up to take an L the way you suggest would benefit the Cthae long term, but it falls in line with what I think for the most part. 🤷🏻♂️
I just want the book already. People had waited like 7 years since book 1 when I got into the series (I think), and now we’re way out here lol.
Great Vid man, very interesting theory. Im so excited for book 3 for the last 5 years.. lol thank you for the content
He's so bored waiting for book 3 he's staring at the covers now :P
Just a few days ago when I saw that cover for the first time, I was immediately drawn to the face on the column. All I could think was, "What the heck is that and how does it relate to the story?????"
Thanks for answering my question!
It's a solid theory.
Thankyou for filling the void of the to be released last book! Amazing!
This is very fascinating and confusing at the same time. I don't really see the chandrain trying to destroy lie about then self since we see countless myth and story about then when kvothe trying to find info. Seem more likey they are trying to destroy truth. Still an interesting theory. Going to watch it again later to try to understand it better
Considering that after the fall of Rome, many Italian cities lost nearly 80% of their population and could fit everyone left inside an amphitheater. Which is what they did as they built homes along the steps using the walls as safety within their own city. The idea of it being a storm drain is incredibly likely as the Romans often used marbled decorations for structural uses, which would later lead to gargoyles being water fountains and the like.
I admire your work. So cool to me that young folks are getting into books.
Books are good things to hold and to have and to share.
It is self serving for me to say that you have good taste,
a good sense of what is not a waste of your time or mine.
there is a whole world out there for us all to find
every time you open a book.
You and your friend may find the time to read
Tigana. love peace and joy to you.
10:55 haha, my artwork :-)
You’re the real MVP
Found it faster than Patrick is able to finish novel 3. Neet.
Great theory, it would be an excellent twist to have the Chandrian turn out to be a force for good. Kvothe says that behind the four plate door he found what he was looking for but not what he expected: I’ve always assumed that he found his own family (via links to Lanre/Haliax), because beneath the desperation for money and fame, and the search for power and knowledge, there is a deep yearning for the family he lost when his troupe were killed. I love the idea that beneath the shadowed cowl, Haliax looks like Kvothe with red hair and/or green eyes.
It would make more sense that the Chandrian would hunt people who touch on the truth rather than falsehoods. "The wrong kind of songs" doesn't mean the song was incorrect. Names have power in Pat's world, so it's much better to hide the truth and fade into obscurity as boogeymen in children's stories. The Amyr probably also work toward obscuring the truth so that they can work in secret.
Great theory! The resemblance of the stone and the book is uncanny, maybe you're on the right track!
On a side note, I would love a video summarizing and comparing the different stories about Lanre, Telhu, Encanis and the seven cities (Trapis', Skarpi's, the one that Kvothe barely hears, Denna's, Ademre's, etc) to have a more complete comparison and try to make connections. Like for example, in the Trapis one we have a few new namedrops, and in the Skarpi too, also mentions of the cities. I don't know, maybe there is something there
The catheee definitely got what it wanted, I think it chose not to bite him knowing Feulurian wouldn't let him leave or worse.
So instead poisoned his mind, he's so amused by the fact Kolth wants to kill the Chandrian I agree with your idea. The 7 sealed Jax or maintain the seal. Or the 7 are not working for the Catheee but are working towards parellel evil means and end goals.
As they say, "you'd fire like an arrow from the quill of the catheee" but chronicler is right. There's only so much influence a catheee has with it's words. And while it can see all futures to make the most damage it's very likely things are only sped up or slowed down by it's words.
They try to destroy and hide all knowledge around them and knowledge around the 7. Likely because the stories are so linked.
Great video! I always t enjoy your content.
Thanks for watching, I'm glad you enjoy! :)
HOLY SH*T 🤯AMAZING VIDEO!!
What if Haliax is connected to Iax in a similar way that the moon is to the fae realm? Maybe he’s just a small portion of Iax that has managed to bleed through to Tamerant.
There's a theory out there that Iax embedded a part of his true name into Lanre as part of a Faustian bargain. Lanre gets to borrow Iax's insane Naming abilities, but is under his control to some extent. Lanre accepts this bargain because he hopes that it'll allow him to bring back Lyra. As part of the deal, he has to work to break Iax free from behind the Doors of Stone.
It would explain why Haliax's name has Iax in it. Plus, when you consider that breath (assuming that the "hal" part is intended to equate to the Latin word for breath) is required to speak, sing, and, well, to name, it makes even more sense.
the wise man’s fear in-depth review …at your leisure, of course
I’m more inclined to believe Skarpi’s story is closer to the truth because the church’s reaction. Names have power and stories do as well, the Chandrian’s power resides in the most people believing one story over another.
This makes a lot of sense. I’ve noticed that he’s written his books like a Greek tragedy, and I personally think that in the doors of stone kvothe is going to change his true name and I would like to hear a theory about that.
I'M SO HAPPY to watch another Jay Kingkiller vid!!! Hope all is well with the writing!
sry but I don't think the faces look similar at all tho :/ still luh u
Thanks for watching!!!
Regarding theories. Kvothe once mentioned he could only do 5 sympathy links at the same time .
I've been thinking that maybe he did something that requires 5 links or more and that is still active and that's why he can't use his skills.
Besides that the Chandrian are basically good guys out to punish lies about them, interesting theories. The Seven may be fallen heroes, or a branch of the Amyr gone to extremes, but they kill too much for truth to be their objective.
Where is the detailed review of The Wise Man's Fear? I NEEEEEEEED IT!!!!
Auri is actually a mouse who can change her appearance to suit whoever she's talking to
Forging a tradition of putting a new thing on any of your videos: "Rishi (Sanskrit: ऋषि, romanized: ṛṣi) is a term for an accomplished and enlightened person. They find mentions in various Hindu Vedic texts. Rishis are believed to have composed hymns of the Vedas."
Rishi - Reshi.
I definitely believe master ash is cinder. Also tree linked the patron to cinder but didn't admit it was. It definitely fits with it's character
Arya IX in A Clash of Kings, Arya forces Jaqen to swear an oath that whatever name she names he will kill. In doing so he swears on all the gods, then places his hand inside the mouth of the face carved into the weirwoord tree on the Gods Woods at Harrenhal.
I've been wondering why some people seem to be able to share stories or songs about the history of the Chandrean. but not everyone (ie Trapis and Skarpi vs Kvothe's family and the Mauthen Farm/wedding)... adding a literally meaning to Cinder's statement makes a lot of sense now...
Good job! Great apport! I think Selitos is Haliax, Thanks from Spain!!
Skarpi's story being wrong and Denna's being closer to the truth is something I have argued for with my brother, I'm still not entirely convinced I'm right, but I do think it is more likely than not.
The face on the cover is closer to Medusa reliefs than the Bocca.
This was fn awesome!
OMG. Mind blowing theory!!!!!
the broken lute under the mouth of truth could also relate to how kvothe is almost definitely a lackless, meaning one of his parents (most likely his mother) was telling lies during his childhood. it could also relate to how kvothe could be the son of a Fae, meaning one or both of his parents are not his real parents.
I think patrick himself is waiting for your theories to modify the ending and third plot.
This is a fantastic theory. The only major hole I see in it is that Rothfuss himself has stated that the latin language never existed in this world, and that's why you don't find latin derivatives in any of the names/words. Perhaps he said that just to throw us off the scent, but many of my assumptions have been operating off of that statement.
I wonder if in book 3 we’ll learn that Kote can’t die just like the other guy from the story. Maybe the storyline will repeat where he gets with Denna but loses her and that’s why he wants to die.
The Chandrian didn't just kill his troupe, they tortured them. Definitely not grey.
The mouth of truth, that's where the Pillermen are hidden in JoJo.
I think Kvothe will shape the name of copper and use the name to open the Four Plate Door.
Good job sporty🍻
I wonder if it could also indicate that by the end of the story Kvothe could lose his good left hand?
Also note the streaks coming down the mouth of the statue on the cover of the book. That supports your idea that it could sever hands.
Oh man, we all missed it. What are letters 2-5 of Valaritas? Alar. Maybe Valaritas means "the truth is what you believe it is."
