A Silence of Three Parts
Name of the Wind:
Kvothe is hiding AND waiting for something, someone or WORD of it.
Bast knows. Bastas, son of Remmen, Prince of Twilight and the Telwyth Mael.
Kvothe EXPECTED the scrael and killed 5. Alone.
He knew killed someone in a magical way, shattered stoned none can mend.
Folly over the bar. Is that the same sword Caesura? "If there is one thing I will not abide, it is the folly of a willful pride.”"
Calling himself Kote and seeming hopeless and magic-less. He can use the arts of the stage to appear older, more frail etc. Rothfuss can be seen to be doing the same by his art. He WANTS us the believe Kvothe magic-less and hopeless. Why? Is K. baiting a trap.
-kills 5 scrael
-breaks Strawberry wine by losing control across the room/bar.
I think we are Rothfuss' audience but also Kvothe's. This is no 1st person omniscient narrative yet somehow R. and K. together weave what they WANT us to see in the present at the inn. I think we're SUPPOSED to trip over his Edema Ruh heritage and think him lucky and chosen but not special. His musical gift, intellect, will and mind are EXTRAORDINARY.
K. has a friggin faerie watching over/learning from/tied to him. I think Bast is bound but would stay out of curiosity even if he were not.
Skarpi SENT Chronicler TO Kvothe...knowing already where to send him. Was he found? Or was there already an elaborate plan in place to communicate at the right time? Why Skarpi? Why near the Earl of Badyn-Brint. Why does it seem Skarpi sent him from somewhere else and then is meeting him in BB?
Rothfuss TELLS us the villains are the Chandrian. Blue fire. Shadowy man. Man with no eyes.
Our present is "not even two years" since...he killed A King and faked? his death.
Summary by R. via Chronicler "K had gone looking for his heart’s desire. He had to trick a demon to get it. But once it rested in his hand, he was forced to fight an angel to keep it." Later Chronicler says KILLED an angel(the Knights? His teacher?)
Summary by K. a little later "“‘ I trouped, traveled, loved, lost(what?), trusted(whom?) and was betrayed.’"
SHE=
Names= Kingkiller. Kote. Kvothe. The Adem call me Maedre. Which, depending on how it’s spoken, can mean “The Flame,” “The Thunder,” or “The Broken Tree. My first mentor called me E’lir because I was clever and I knew it. My first real lover called me Dulator because she liked the sound of it. I have been called Shadicar, Lightfinger, and Six-String. I have been called Kvothe the Bloodless, Kvothe the Arcane, and Kvothe Kingkiller."
PARENTS: Arliden. Arl. And Lackless, his mother is wounded personally by the rhyme he chanted which snuck in the notion of the box without a key and calls her Lady.
The Ruh are tied to Greystones or Waystones
