I have no idea where it came from, I think someone just "colorized" the one from the book (probably Jason). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wik Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 Sorry to bomb in completely unrelated to discussion but I was trying to look back at the information about the dragon that Akka finds in the 2nd trilogy....I can't seem to find it though. Can anyone give insight/details about the beast and the encounter? Been googling for 45 minutes and nothing....I'm starting to think I dreamt this whole encounter up LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's chapter 15 of White-Luck Warrior. I'm not sure what information you are looking for though. Like, who Wutteät is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I recently moved so my books are in storage and without specific info I wasn't finding much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s at the end of the second book. Ultimately, based on the fourth book, Wutteat reveals very little, functioning very much as a red herring, but he does force a confrontation between Akka and cleric and wutteat gives cleric battle circumstances he will accept as a proper death. It also has perhaps my favorite line of the series “Hell sustains him from within!” When cleric explains that he is a sort of zombie dragon corpse.

Presumably it's just Bakker's attempt to capture the booming voice or something. But now it occurs to me that I can't recall if the MRA dragon in TUC talks the same way... The MRA dragon talks in all bold rather than all caps, actually. I always found it interesting how Bakker's dragons had distinct personalities. The dragon in Akka's dreams in PoN had a pseudo-Shakespearian way of talking. Wutteat was a lazy troll. MRA dragon was horny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has grown too wicked to part from his horde." Since time immemorial, since the days of the mighty Cunoroi, ever have men have been heeded to not feed the troll. Ahhaha ha yeah, and doesn't the MRA dragon make his first appearance guarding a bridge? Where he kills the dude that found the magic sword Serwa eventually picks up?

Callan S. Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 I think it's a metaphor for boob jobs, plastic surgeries and other distortions for the gratification of the male gaze. Plus it wouldn't matter if they weren't physically distorted, it'd still be shit. What did the original generations of dunyain give up and leave latter generations to suffer? Or did they give anything up or was it just forced in the name of a shorter path? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kalbear Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 I do have to say, sometimes the takes I read about this series are so remarkably different than mine that it does really break me out of the feeling that I can actually ever empathize with another human.

The Marquis de Leech Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 I've finally got around to reading The Unholy Consult (and its gigantic glossary). I swear, I had to restrain myself from throwing the book across the room when I came across that "ending". "That's not how you finish a series, Mr Bakker!" (Yes, I am aware that it's the ending of a sub-series. I still feel that a sub-series warrants a better resolution). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Richard II Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 Well there’s strong debate if said sub series will ever be published. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redeagl Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 I have recently accepted TUC to be THE ending until Bakker releases something that explicitly proves it's not. And, it's not a bad one? I mean, what did people really expect? That good guy Kellhus will destroy the evil bad Consult to save the world, and then he ascends to become some sort of higher God. And the third series is just some metaphysical wankery about Souls and The Outside hahaha. The series is called THE SECOND APOCALYPSE for fuck's sake.
