Codex Alera Timeline
ToddM326:
No offense, but I'm not sure if I want to read a book that includes Artificial Insemination through Furycrafying.
Way too complex of a theory for this series, in my opinion.
Dom:
Another thought...what if Isana made Tavi seem younger with her watercrafting to hide his age?
So he could actually be older then he seems, which would make him "clever" for "his age" because he's just flat out a bit older, but physically be younger due to some sort of watercraftings he had done.
It's out there, but it's a thought. It's mentioned several times that watercrafters look far younger then they are.
Alternately alternately...maybe Tavi was born with a water fury...and it was tied up by Isana to make him look younger... ::puts on tinfoil hat::
ToddM326:
Tavi being a watercrafter would definately make the cover to the book make more sense....
Daniel P:
My personal bet is that Tavi is younger then it is claimed.
In the chapter one of Cursor's Fury (just recently posted), it again covers the same ground of Tavi coming into things later then normal. In this case he had his growth spurt later then expected, now he is Max's height.
The other reason I believe he is younger then he is claimed to be is the lack of furies.... Now it is possible he will never have furies.... Only Jim knows for sure. But if he does get them, one possible reason is he is a late bloomer, wihs I had book 2 with me, but there was a comment in there about which age a late bloomer attained their furries and I suspect Tavi is right around that age.
But I am rehashing old ground.
Valiar DoubleA:
Going off on a related tangent, Can anyone explain how the House of Gaius took over ~1000 years ago, Gaius Sextus is sixth of that house, and is considered an old man at 80 years old?
Either that or I got something wrong. He would have to be the twelfth for that to make any sense. Which did I get wrong?
