Accidental AATE spoiler in Donaldson GI?

Post by Borillar »

I was just reading SRD's answer to a question about Triock's use to the term "Elena Foul-Wife" in PTP, and SRD says the following in response to to Lord Foul's relationship with people in the Land:
Spoiler
Still, you might be on to something, if you step back from the literal. Diassomer Mininderain comes to mind. There’s a (for lack of a better term) female in LF’s backstory somewhere. Apparently.
I haven't read the AATE ARC or anything else (or even the thread in the AATE forum talking about the ARC), so I legitimately don't know who this person is that he's referring to, but I suspect he just accidentally leaked something.

She's mentioned in TWL as part of the legend of a-Jeroth of the Seven Hells.

Really! Can you provide the quote? I don't have my book and would have a hard time retrieving the reference, given that I don't know where exactly to look. Thanks!

Please see Mr. Broken's thread on this subject. There's a page reference, a summary of the tale, and discussion.

Thank you! That's most helpful. I still wonder if it's AATE-relevant (or maybe even TLD-relevant!), since I wonder if he would even remember that reference if it hadn't come up again in his mind for some reason. But that's of course just idle speculation.

Wow, that was random. I haven't even read the book, I have no clue what the Worm does or how things turn out. Naming myself "Worm" gives me no advantage, actually.

no, it wasn't random. the spoiler in the post of yours that I deleted named a character from AATE: one that, if my memory serves me correctly, is not mentioned in any of the previous books. Spoiler tagged or not, no spoilers from AATE are allowed in any threads except for the one set up for spoilers and that includes any information on new characters (even if it's just their name).

And I think whether you've read the book or not is a moot point. You've clearly read the spoiler thread.

Sorry, you've lost me. I re-read my post that you redirected to the spoilers thread and, since names are usually capitalized, I can't find a single name in it except "Worm" which we already know.

I'm just amazed that I stumbled upon something like this so easily.

you're thinking of a different post. I didn't redirect any post. I deleted it. I'll send you a pm so you know what I'm talking about.

Ok. I think I remember the post you're talking about. That means I got that speculation right, and not the one I was thinking about.

This is so easy it leaves no room for speculating without keeping it to the spoilers thread since speculating can spoil.
