Re: If I may make a few somewhat irrelevant interjections... Yvves Send a noteboard - 14/09/2009 04:46:29 PM

I recall a mention (I don't think I recently read it, so someone must've mentioned it in a discussion, but I can't remember where, unfortunately) of a Truthspeaker doing just that, actually. Perhaps in Tuon's reflections? I think there was a story about a Truthspeaker slapping the Empress... Emperor?... in public a long time ago.

But even if that's wrong, Anath does this verbally to Tuon in public in WH chapter 18. So yes, Truthspeakers do this, too.


Anath is Semirhage. Don't expect her to be the perfect Truthspeaker.

Tuon was under the veil, and as such, just another High Lady and not the Daughter of the Nine Moons, who was roughly on par imperialistically with Anath/Semirhage.
