Listeners, this episode counts for one and a half! Chancellor Herma, the Master Linguist, is "on the horns" as our character profile subject today. And, my friend John of Two Geek Soup is here to talk about languages and linguistics along with a whole host of other topics. Hope you enjoy! Interesting facts in this episode: Yllish knots and culture, quantum entanglement, languages throughout the history of Temerant and University students who study them (we may have forgotten some), Herma’s illness and what (OR WHO) could be behind it, the Archives and waystones, studying language in the real world, language quirks in Estonian, and more.  Show notes - in this discussion, we forget several languages/the Kingkiller Wiki forgets several: Modegan, Lenatti/Lanetti (I assume that’s a language?), and *music*. My next episode will be a more recent recording and I know I have one fan question to answer, so if you’ve got more email me at [email protected]. Also I’m working on a new essay post on my Ko-Fi so make sure you check that out at ko-fi.com/etrsop and perhaps slide a few shims, talents, copper pennies, gold royals, straelem, etc. to help support a small creator :)  THANK YOU to my good friend John of Two Geek Soup for a great chat, as always. You can follow him on Facebook here. And thank you, listeners!

And we're back! ETRSOP is jumping back onto your feeds with a monthly series on the University Masters in the Kingkiller Chronicle. First up is Master Artificer, Kilvin!

Pull up a seat at the bar, as we turn the spotlight on the regulars at Newarre's very own Waystone Inn -- Old Cob, Graham, Jake, Carter, Shep (RIP), and Aaron the smith's prentice. In this episode, we discuss the stories that Old Cob (and Chronicler) tell about Kvothe and Taborlin, what these interludes can tell us about the overall story, and how these guys might play into Day Three. This podcast will keep rolling along at its own pace like a meandering caravan - thank you for all the support!

How is the road to Tinue, my friends? We're coming up on the end of another year, and my friend John from Vintas stopped by the troupe to talk about Trapis - just in time for Midwinter! We talk about Kvothe's time in Tarbean, compare what we know about religion in Temerant, and discuss parallels between the Tehlin religion and real-world faiths from our own backgrounds studying Christianity and the Bible. We of course talk about the story of Tehlu and Encanis, and pack a lot of other discussion in, too. Hope you enjoy! If you want to share your thoughts or feedback, email me at [email protected].

HELLO! We are preparing to dust off our cloaks of no particular color and get back to it. Checking in with some housekeeping, some thank-yous, and some self-deprecation :) I also went back through all my old episodes to find the true name of RJ...or something like that. Reach me at [email protected] or check out my Ko-Fi!

The troupe is settling down for a bit as RJ takes a little time to clear the waters of the ol' creative well. We chat some fantasy books and will rest up a bit before we head on down the road again.  My book recommendations: "The 13 1/2 Lives of Captain Bluebear" and "Rumo and His Miraculous Adventures" by Walter Moers "Sabriel" by Garth Nix "Path Of Deceit (Star Wars: The High Republic)" by Tessa Gratton and Justina Ireland "Artemis" by  Andy Weir Find me on Twitter at twitter.com/etrsop or email me, [email protected].

Rings, pagers, and cracked pots! Nick, Jordana, and Jeremy of “Page of the Wind” have escaped from the clutches of the insatiable Mister Mailbag and join RJ for a beautiful game in discussing the character Bredon, whom we meet in Severen during “The Wise Man’s Fear.” Lots of Master Ash hypothesizing here, so buckle up for a ride on the Theory Train – though Jordana and Jeremy might try to convince us Bredon is just some dude. We also talk about Bredon’s motive in educating Kvothe and playing Tak with him, possible casting for Bredon, and if he is connected to the Fae, the Lacklesses, or the Jakises. I also lament the lack of diversity in the Chronicle, and Nick reminds me about the KKC webcomic that Rothfuss wrote about. We further talk about Cinder’s possible working relationship with Bredon, and those rumors about his pagan rituals. And what would a conversation about Master Ash be without Cthaeh and Denna being mentioned? Are we just reading too much into it?? Maybe! Bor Gullet will know the truth! Come on and enjoy the ride. Special thanks to Nick, Jordana, and Jeremy from Page of the Wind for joining me. You can find their excellent DAILY re-read of The Kingkiller Chronicle on your preferred podcatcher.

We pulled up at the Half-Mast in Tarbean to talk about Skarpi on this month’s episode! And, a tinker caught up with me and delivered letters from Jim and Greg, as well as a new review. This episode is stuffed with theories, ramblings, self-corrections, and mentions of all sorts of characters: Lanre! Sceop! Selitos! Ctheah! Kvothe (of course)! I cover some of the most popular theories about this diamond-eyed storyteller and talk about how pivotal his story is in Kvothe’s journey. Grab a cup of Fallows Red and join me!

My papery little scrivs, it's time to chat The Chronicler on ETRSOP! And we have an episode more tantalizing than a nice glass of drinking chocolate or fresh-pressed apple cider. We chat about Chronicler's career and his time at the University, including how those might line up and how old C might be. I explore the scene where Kvothe makes up stories about Chronicler, and wonder if he's giving away a secret. And we definitely talk about possible Lochees/Lackless connections, his relationships with Bast and Skarpi, and why he's on some hot scribe shit. Have fun!

Grab a cup of metheglin, and don't dare talk while someone else is performing! We're still in the Eolian this week, focusing on owners Deoch and Stanchion -- and we also talk about the inn itself! Since they're both connected to Yll and Illien, we'll chat about the country and the famed Edema Ruh singer/songwriter.  Marked explicit because I talk about tops and bottoms. If you know, you know. Slay.  LINKS: Yllish music knots post Map of Temerant Meaning of "yll" Find me on Twitter at twitter.com/etrsop or email me, [email protected].

Gather your best gossip and meet me at the Eolian for our discussion on Count Dennais Threpe, Kvothe's friend and co-composer of the hit diss track "Jackass, Jackass." There are a few significant sevens with Threpe, so we talk about those and muse what his real motivations might be. Is he a master manipulator, moving Kvothe like so many tak pieces across the board? Remember that Kvothe told Threpe about Denna and Master Ash, so he's got some pretty sensitive info inside that brain.  Also, HOW DID ALVERON NOT WRITE HIM TO LET HIM KNOW KVOTHE ARRIVED??? Listeners, the mind boggles.  Find me on Twitter at twitter.com/etrsop or email me, [email protected]. If you wanna financially support the podcast, buy me a coffee at ko-fi.com/etrsop.

Editor’s note: I forgot to say #2 before I said the second fact about Alveron (it’s that he did research into the Amyr in the past) We’re rolling some information about Stapes, Dagon, and Caudicus into our main discussion of the Maer Alveron!  In this episode: “Lee-Rand” Alveron makes an appearance Fellow Millenials Warned About This One Common Phrase Who is really pulling the strings in Severen, and what is their end goal is with Alveron (if there is indeed an outside player)? I bring up a theory that Maer Alveron is gay (hats off to Nick at Page of the Wind) We speculate merrily on who might be an Amyr I point out Kvothe may have had some of Alveron’s blood at some point Padawan Imri Cantaros’ name is pronounced instead of the traditional pronunciation for the city of Imre I make fun of Kvothe for being pretentious Are Dagon and Caudicus working together? Little preview of my budding “Cinder is working on his own agenda” theory What do we make of the Cthaeh’s significant “joke?” Sprout the dog and an empty can of Cherry Diet Pepsi make a background cameo Find me on Twitter at twitter.com/etrsop or email me, [email protected].
