In this episode, we discuss the stories that Old Cob (and Chronicler) tell about Kvothe and Taborlin, what these interludes can tell us about the overall story, and how these guys might play into Day Three.

We're coming up on the end of another year, and my friend John from Vintas stopped by the troupe to talk about Trapis - just in time for Midwinter!
We talk about Kvothe's time in Tarbean, compare what we know about religion in Temerant, and discuss parallels between the Tehlin religion and real-world faiths from our own backgrounds studying Christianity and the Bible. We of course talk about the story of Tehlu and Encanis, and pack a lot of other discussion in, too.

And we have an episode more tantalizing than a nice glass of drinking chocolate or fresh-pressed apple cider. We chat about Chronicler's career and his time at the University, including how those might line up and how old C might be. I explore the scene where Kvothe makes up stories about Chronicler, and wonder if he's giving away a secret. And we definitely talk about possible Lochees/Lackless connections, his relationships with Bast and Skarpi, and why he's on some hot scribe shit. Have fun!

There are a few significant sevens with Threpe, so we talk about those and muse what his real motivations might be. Is he a master manipulator, moving Kvothe like so many tak pieces across the board? Remember that Kvothe told Threpe about Denna and Master Ash, so he's got some pretty sensitive info inside that brain.
