haven't listened to it yet but NEW WORLDS BEYOND NUMBER EP JUST POSTED THE WORLD IS HEALED WE'RE SO BACK


I believe in you, Suvi, and I believe you.
The question with The Wizard, The Witch and the Wild One was always going to be "which worldbuilding detail will I find to fixate on", not "will I find something to fixate on", and the results are in:
it's the naming conventions
In Suvi's corner of the story so far we've had Soft, Stone, Steel, Archmage Silence, and Silver ... and Suvirin.
It's a clear convention but has not yet been lampshaded by any of the cast, which is of course delicious.
Is it an Empire convention, a Citadel one, a wizardly one? I'm guessing Citadel/wizard, since people like Roselyn and Grandmother Wren are presumably Empire citizens but don't follow the convention.
But is it something adopted later in life? Because Suvi follows the initial S but otherwise breaks the convention of the name being a dictionary word. Will she be expected to pick – or be bestowed with – a dictionary S-word when she's no longer an apprentice, is that it?
And if so ... what will it be? Sand? (sort of combines Soft + Stone)
OR did Soft and Stone break convention when they named their daughter?
Aabria Iyengar participating in tumblr discourse about her own character is absolutely top tier. Balance is being maintained. The world is coming full circle.
Okay okay okay here we go
Indri as The Lonely. The steward of the solitary self both personally and magically.
Mirara as The Dark, with heavy influence from The Stranger. She is the moon, and the shadow, and the darkness, and is so magically powerful that she's become *wrong,* at least by human standards.
Hecaea as The Buried or The Corruption. Girl has a lot of moss and animal stuff going on okay-
Ame following in Grandma Wren's steps as The Web. Rather than demonstrating immense individual power, though she certainly had it, she tends to her dominion through connection. Her strengths lay not only within herself, but in the network of control and allyship she cultivated over decades. There are so many complex pieces in the puzzle of Grandma Wren, each tended to with intense care, and Ame is inheriting the power that comes with that.
Eursalon as The Stranger. Whether he's a victim or an avatar, I genuinely don't know— either way, he's surrounded by people unlike him, taking on an appearance that doesn't match his actual body in order to blend in in a place he doesn't belong.
Steel as The Slaughter. War for the sake of war, death for the furtherance of the Citadel's political power. Possibly bordering The Web, considering the mind control and manipulation.
grimore as the hunt and suvi as the eye obviously but what do we reckon the rest are? the stranger indri? oooh! or maybe even the web indri! are we feeling the dark or the end for mirara?
Maybe he's not a Great Spirit? Sure, he's powerful and quite dangerous, but have we ever gotten confirmation that he's Great with a capital G?
Conspiracy board time
So, okay, the sapphire necklace protects Suvi from the sight of Great Spirits. In Ep10 Of the Reaching Green, Orima doesn't see her at all, doesn't acknowledge her even existing. She speaks of "one who was dragged here" and "one she dragged here" and does not speak of a third. She treats only with Eursulon and Ame.
Then, when Eursulon speaks with the Stranger/Man in Black/King of Night, he says that when he arrived at the cottage, a wizard had already gotten there. Does that potentially mean that there was another wizard at the cottage at the time of Grandmother Wren's death? Or is he so great a spirit that he can see what Orima of the Reaching Green could not? Or was it just a slip of the tongue among the dozens of hours of recording on Brennan's part?

The identify spell (cast without the reflexive indicative.)
See I'm so torn between the Wizard String, the Wizard Sleep, and the Wizard Speak
Also for the record I've considered witch stations as well and would absolutely be the Witch of the Winding Path (or of the Wandering Mind)
it is soup weather, so off to buy soup ingredients and catching up on wbn firesides while i walk.
what i’m saying is that i’m thinking about my name cloak, and i’m going with the wizard sage…. committed to the academic life, love to cook (too many plants)

thinking fondly of my lucky amulet that i put on right before all those terrible things happened
