Loric's Krill
i dont know if these particular questions have been asked before, but here we go...
How did Loric make the Krill when the land shows no sign of being able to work metal? or being able to make metal for that matter.
Why was the Krill hot in the 2nd crons?
Why did the Krill's gem fade and go out after CC was killed with it?

Forestal:
The Lords' staffs had metal bands on the ends. The Warmark wore an armored breastplate. The Warward used swords and other metal weapons. The ur-viles had their wands (croziers?) whatever they were.
What we didn't see was the common people of the Land-- the
Stonedowners or Woodhelvinin using metal.

In the name of their ancient pride and humiliation, they had made commitments with no possible outcome except bereavement.
He knew only that they had never striven to reject the boundaries of themselves.

True. They must have gotten lomilliolor rods and hurtloam somehow. If not through cutting branches off trees and digging, then how?

Maybe they coaxed it out. I mean, the hurtloam was probably just picked up, not dug. Probably same with gravelling. The wood is another matter. I doubt they used windfallen branches, I'd expect they would have been part of the tree they came from at the time of acquisition.
Do you think I like being this dangerous?

I was always under the impression that song was the key factor when working with wood or stone. Maybe this is another one of my unfounded assumptions, but Trell sang to the pot to mend it, and to bring the Graveling to life. I just thought if a Rhadhamaerl needed a Lomillalor rod, he would sing it out of the tree. Kinda like asking the tree for it, and recieving it as a gift. It would work for shaping stone, building stuff...
I don't know about ore though. Maybe they sang the ore out of the stone, but didn't consider smelting harmful to it. After all you can't make a sword without getting it hot and whacking it into a new shape. Didn't even Pitchwife sing to the Dromond when he was doing his wiving? Or was he just singing 'cause he liked to?

Yeah the song seemed to be the power of the lore involved, and it invoked what we'd call magic ... to get rocks to glow etc etc.
I was gonna say that Pitchwife's work never involved breaking anything, and only involved mending, moulding etc.
But I just remembered that he broke the stuff off a block, so the story is different there.

Song, and asking permission, seem to be very much tied up in all post-desolation lore. We are never told what sort of wood lomilliolor is made of, so perhaps it is grown especially. Rillinlure is described as wood dust, and that suggests some sort of preparation, like shaving.

But if the wood is decaying, how can it heal. Wouldn't it reek of death?Landwaster wrote:I'd always assumed it was collected from decayed wood.variol son wrote:Rillinlure is described as wood dust, and that suggests some sort of preparation, like shaving.

But wouldn't the fact that it was decaying corrupt it, kinda like how the Sunbane corrupted stuff. It was alive in a way, but dying on the inside.
