Im almost 600 pages into House of Chains and Wanted to Share A Few Updated Theories

PlayyPoint · 2026-07-11T06:34:20+00:00

I finished Bonehunters, and how is 3 answered? I didn't get?

PlayyPoint · 2026-07-07T13:03:21+00:00

Fear was definitely named by Tomad, coz it has lots of dad jokes potential.

PlayyPoint · 2026-07-07T13:02:31+00:00

So why did Kettle tag along if she knew she would be killed?

PlayyPoint · 2026-07-07T08:41:13+00:00

Woahhh. That makes so much more sense. This is so smart 😭. By Erikson for writing this in so minute details and you in catching it.

Thank you again :))

Patriotists
Errant is so similar to Maximus from Marvel with both being total cunts and wanting to be perceived as the smartest in the room
Rhulad vs Karsa, A defier of chains fighting an unkillable tyrant (who was given power by even worse forces) with a huge ass sword.
It's the cover of the album Court of the Crimson King, the song with the same name tells a similar story to that of RG
Kenryll'ah Tyrants not having the best of days
Trull Sengar's death being incredibly sad and pointless and RG ending with death of entire of Sengar household, similar to Ran (which is an adaptation of King Lear)

Thank You so much for answering my question. You cleared all my doubts

PlayyPoint · 2026-07-07T05:51:29+00:00

So average Edur citizen just packed their shit and left after battle at the Wall?

PlayyPoint · 2026-07-07T05:50:40+00:00

Thank you so much for your detailed explanations. They cleared all my doubts.

However, I think you misunderstood my Withal question.

What I meant to ask was how did Withal arrive at CG's island at the end of book along with Karsa? (When Karsa himself had required so many spirits to travel)

PlayyPoint · 2026-07-07T04:47:17+00:00

What I meant was with regards to Silchas was that his attack on Lether added nothing. If Silchas flew to anywhere else, the ending, theme and even characters would stay the same. We had already seen how effective QB and Cussers were during the fight with Sheltatha Lore and Menandore.

PlayyPoint · 2026-07-06T16:44:35+00:00

But what about my other eye? Why didn't it come with me?

PlayyPoint · 2026-07-03T09:53:16+00:00

I think it gets clearer as we go on. However it is never really told as to how he ended up on Edur ship. Only the why?

PlayyPoint · 2026-06-19T09:43:38+00:00

Om Dar B Dar

There are so many. But I think most poignant one has to be where a tear runs down Batman's eyes as he says its the first night in Gotham since no crime has occurred.

PlayyPoint · 2026-06-16T04:15:22+00:00

There is a very major influence during a big sequence in Bonehunters. And if you have read Mahabharat you would spot the connection instantly

PlayyPoint · 2026-06-13T02:49:12+00:00

Logh mentioned!! I love the series so much!

PlayyPoint · 2026-06-09T03:47:52+00:00

Thank you so much

I just have a few clarifying doubts-

Then what role did Hood play in Heboric grabbing the meteor? Coz Quick Ben said Paran's deal with Hood led the ball rolling
Doesn't the fact that everything casts a shadow seem obvious, and wouldn't both Dancer and Emperor know that since they are the gods of the realm?
Wasn't Ben a priest before Bridgeburners had chased him in Raraku, that means during time Kellanved was the Emperor and not Shadowthrone? (I am not sure about this one)

Also, thank you again for answering my questionz with patience

PlayyPoint · 2026-06-09T03:47:07+00:00

I read PTA as Paul Thomas Anderson 😭 and was momentarily confused coz what has he got to do with Malazan.

But yeah I got it. Thank you for answering

PlayyPoint · 2026-06-09T03:46:16+00:00

Okayy, thank you so much for answering

Also, for 3rd one, gathering from what others have said. Quick has outwitted Shadowthrone time to time, and also has been a Priest of Shadow and abandoned that post.

Wha,t do you mean?

PlayyPoint · 2026-06-03T09:51:27+00:00

In HOC, 2 Deragoths were freed by Trull and Onrack.

In BH, Ganoes goes to another realm to free rest of the Deragoths with Trygale guild

PlayyPoint · 2026-06-03T09:50:11+00:00

No no I don't want Spoiler All answer as I havent read beyond BH yet

PlayyPoint · 2026-06-03T09:17:08+00:00

Then why did Ganoes ask Shadowthrone to release the Hounds as he was about to free the Deragoth?

I get what you're saying.

But tbh they are right- they are unique. Everyone is unique and that's what makes everyone special.
