Other Jimness > Cinder Spires Spoilers
Is cinder spires alera 100+ years down the line?
TaurosElan:
It may be its own world, but it makes me wonder if the Enemy is one similar to that in Codex Alera. Spiders, the Enemy reference, sneaking behind the scenes in the shadows, and so forth. Pretty sure the Marat said that they had originally come from another world.
On the other hand, there's been no mention of anything resembling the Croach so far.
Mith:
True, but the Croach does slowly change the atmosphere when there is enough of it (since the Vord by WOJ are a sentient terraforming project for someone else), so perhaps the Mist is a part of that.
The biggest blow against the idea to me is the fact that they do get materials from the surface, such as wood, which would not be around after a long Vord settlement, since I believe they would consume the trees.
Agravaine:
Alera didn't have mythologies of Angels or Archangels, that's a feature of the post-Christian Roman Empire, hence it could not have come from the Lost Legion that founded Alera.
Chelle:
I'm thinking it's Earth.
Albion would be what was left of England - Olympia would be Greece - Aurora could be several different places, although I'm leaning towards Italy.
The 9th Legion is believed to have gone *poof* a bit before 200 AD(CE) but Christianity didn't become a dominant religion until 400 AD(CE) - it was only a minor religion in the region a century before that - so I'd think it would be unlikely that the 9th Legion would be Judeo-Christian. The hints of religion and the funeral ceremony smacked of Judeo-Christian and it would seem that the different denominations melded into a single doctrine. Or perhaps each spire has a predominant flavor and Spire Albion would be what became of the Anglican church.
Or maybe not.
Quantus:
Wild theory:
Alera was more or less a Human settlement that got invaded by the Zerg, is perhaps The Cinder Spires what happened when Earth got taken over by a super-powerful psychic race (aka Protoss?) Are the Spires actually Pylons? :o
After my coffee Im sure this will make less sense to me.
