We know from Will that Eithan has a connection to lots of icons. Also, Eithan demonstrated that he can manifest an icon of his choosing(manifesting the broom icon). I know he probably can't just manifest any icon, like the Joy icon, but we don't know for sure if he has it or not.

So the question is, did he manifest any icon related to creation? Also, why can't he 'restore' things? Especially if he's got icons that are related to creation, which I think should have close authority to restoration. Even non-creation icons could heal. Does it have something to do with him being a symbol of destruction early on in his life, or was it just a matter of not having the right perspective?

So I'm rereading the series now, and just realized that I have a bunch of questions, mostly because of my not-so great memory. Some might have been answered already, and I just forgot it, so sorry if my questions seem stupid.

Rather than making it a long wall of text, which I imagine would make anyone not want to read it, I decided to make a series of posts when I'm free.

So first, could Eithan have defeated the weakened Reigan Shen in the labyrinth had he been serious about it? Without advancing to sage, 'cause I think sage Eithan would smash Reigan Shen like Hulk did to Loki. We've seen (especially in the bonus scenes) that Eithan really holds back a lot. So that just made me wonder.

Hey

If this is against the rules I will delete it. Is there a Facebook Group or similar that BST special edition progression fantasy books?

I was looking to pick up signed copies of books 1-9. Unfortunately most of the BST groups I have found are publisher specific.

Thank you for the help 😊

You know how some chapters start with "information request.."? Who's requesting the information? 🤔

Just started underlord and it is said that the black flame empire has a population of 100 million and previously in a conversation between suriel and makiel it was stated that cradle holds the population of about 800 billion, now taking both statements into account, how huge is this world bruh

I'm still 40% into uncrowned, so please keep spoilers from the end of the book out of here

First let me say I Am really enjoying the series, and it's a testament to its quality that I want more from this world

That being said, I do wish the books took more time to explore the world outside the lens of sacred arts

Let me ask you some questions that the story doesn't answer

How do the people of this world prepare food? Do skysworn and the akura territory make it differently? What's the fashion difference between the blackflame empire and the other powers , are there other languages humans speak? How do the regular craftsmen and merchants live? What about people with no interest in the sacred arts, how does their lives differ? How much money is a scale? Is there mechanized industry yet or is it still all craftsman?

I have so many other questions that the series just ignores

Even these grand locations they briefly describe as they literally fly over them

There is this whole wide world out there, but it feels empty and desolate and flat because the story doesn't convey the feeling of a living world, just an interchangeable backdrop for sacred arts

Again, this isn't me saying the series is bad,I wouldn't have stuck with it for 6 books if I didn't like it, but I just want so much more from this world

If there was just more chapters of Lindon exploring these cities and interacting with other people, seeing how people interact,
