Join us as we ponder the effects - and potentially, the motivations - of T'riss' actions in these chapters, how wrong she is in her assertions, how childish Anomander is acting, and how Olar Ethil must well & truly be bullshitting us (and basking in the afterglow) after we see Burn. Neither of us is convinced of the efficacy of her words, and scant little is going to change our minds!

Oh, and just for your information, the only thing characters in Kharkanas with the respective characters in the BotF is the name. They're entirely different otherwise. We promise.

We hope you enjoy!
