ABOUT THE HORNEATERS, SPREN, GODS AND PACTS

"Blessings of spren," do the horneaters use the luckspren (aka mandras) to increase their strength and speed??

It looks like they somehow bond with the luckspren but they don't form a Nahel Bond with them because they aren't Radiant spren.

That explains why Rock could use a shardbow (aka grandbow) in Oathbringer to kill Amaram without the aid of a Shardplate to support the weight.

What in Adonalsium's name is The Ancient Pact of the Seven Peaks?

Cord says they made a path with other gods... Shards? Worldhoppers?

Did it happenned before, during or after the Horneaters asked those three powerful gods (the Gods of the waters, the Gods of the mountains and the Gods of the trees) for help?

My current theory is that the pact was one of the conditions they had to agree to in order to live there. They weren't granted that land around Cultivation's perpendicularity for free, surely there were some conditions.

Also, note that traditionally the first three sons aren't allowed to fight. Three gods, three shards, three sons. Is it somehow related to the pact?

As you can see my notes are just a bunch of questions and weird connections.

Eleanor- who is your hero and why?

Ah--what an interesting question!

My mother, for one. She was always very outspoken, and told me to do what was right, even when I had no allies. I try to live up to that.

And I also greatly respect President Noémie Boulanger, of France. She was the first female presidential candidate since Ségolène Royal in 2007, and I am so glad that she won in 2017. Her pro-individual-rights views are sur le pointe, as they say. 

(By the way, though my mother was French, I don't speak much of it. I keep up on politics through the internet, and that's about it.)

You say you're ask box is always open, so I thought I'd take the opportunity to say hello, and ask you to tell me something about your character from Sydney Scroungers that you haven't said before- how you came up with them, why they act the way they do, anything.

Sorry for taking so long to answer! let’s see, what can I tell you about Katie… well, she’s grown pretty organically over the course of the first few acts.  A lot of her most compelling characteristics were not in my original idea of her, most notably what a Magic the Gathering player would call her Blue side.  She doesn't always take the time to sit down and plan, but even when she's thinking on her feet she has a very strategic mindset:  Attack the weak points, maximize her use of her assets, keep her mind on the immediate goal but hey eyes open for any opportunity to gain a long-term advantage.

One thing we really haven’t seen yet is her dark side.  I mean, there are moments that we’ve called ‘dark!Katie’ but she would go a lot farther than that to protect the people she cares about.  In MtG terms, Katie’s dark side is very, very, Dimir.  Information is power, and information about her crew is power over them.  Katie doesn’t tolerate anyone having leverage over her and hers.  A couple of villains have escaped with secrets that they shouldn’t have.  They may as well have painted targets on their foreheads.

What is your favourite canon Relationship? What is your favourite non-canon Relationship? What is your all-time favourite-of-all-fiction-ever pairing?

Favorite Canon: Hmmmmmm, that's kind of a tough one. Fem!Shep/Garrus is probably a big contender here. Maybe Siri/Susebron? On a nonromantic front, I desperately want Regina and Henry's relationship to go well.

Favorite non-canon: Right now, leaning towards Shallan/Jasnah. Swan Queen is a big favorite of mine, too. And there's like a bazillion more to be honest.

Favorite all-time: I think Shallan/Jasnah has the prize for most brainspace currently, but Chell/GLaDOS is one that I don't think I'll ever really let go of.

Let’s put this to my followers:

which would tumblr user Eshonai prefer:

the fossilized Elder God with a theropod as an avatar?

or a fiery cat?
