MrsManderly Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 wait, maybe we're being trolled here - could a body part be consdiered "man made"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evermind Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 To Malc:Well, in fact it depends on the material it's made of. In certain cases it can be eaten by certain animals, but it definitely isn't meant to be.Haha, no, it's not body part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMalcolm Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 Were anything sacrificed to the gods? I don't remember... Horse gods and fire gods, gods made of gold with gemstone eyes, gods carved of cedar wood, gods chiseled into mountains, gods of empty air . . . I know them all. I have seen their peoples garland them with flowers, and shed the blood of goats and bulls and children in their names. - AFfC chapter 18. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a free shadow Posted May 21, 2014 Author Share Posted May 21, 2014 wait, maybe we're being trolled here - could a body part be consdiered "man made"? if it is made into a dish, for example, the dish is man-made... Horse gods and fire gods, gods made of gold with gemstone eyes, gods carved of cedar wood, gods chiseled into mountains, gods of empty air . . . I know them all. I have seen their peoples garland them with flowers, and shed the blood of goats and bulls and children in their names. - AFfC chapter 18. Yes, something like that (or maybe even this exactly)! So I will just ask: Something meant for gods/spirits/what-have-you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMalcolm Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 I think it's candles.Anybody objecting me asking? (We need a consensus after 17) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evermind Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 So I will just ask: Something meant for gods/spirits/what-have-you?Should I answer this one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a free shadow Posted May 21, 2014 Author Share Posted May 21, 2014 I think it's candles. Anybody objecting me asking? (We need a consensus after 17) I do not object anyone asking anything, i do not get the feeling it is candles though... they do not have that big a variety of materials to be made of and animals would hardly eat them (no more than some hat), though i mostly been wrong lately, so. No, I don't mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a free shadow Posted May 21, 2014 Author Share Posted May 21, 2014 Should I answer this one? not if the answer is 'no' :cool4: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yomi Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 Typically candle are made from wax, which is indeed a material we haven't asked yet. And while neither candles nor was are meant for eating (just the later one for food storage) I can totally imagine some animal or child trying to eat candles... they might still have some honey smell on them... I'm in favor of asking if it's candles... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a free shadow Posted May 21, 2014 Author Share Posted May 21, 2014 Typically candle are made from wax Yes, that is why this is suspicious: Well, in fact it depends on the material it's made of What happens if we hit 20 questions? we choose which one of us to sacrifice to Evermind. Is it stupid candles? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bori Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 I do not know any animal which eats wax, but well, why not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Candles (in ASOIAF universe they probably are made from wax, but I seem to recall back in the days candles were made of animal fats (grease? salo? Don't know the right word, Malc help me), and there were instances when mice ate them)Now don't forget to consider the first hint, you have only three questions left!

ziz0z Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 I'm guessing the word you're thinking of is "tallow". But no clue on the game. Should we try to narrow down where it is mentioned further? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evermind Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 Perhaps tallow, I don't know. Will google it when I'm home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
