Sneaky line?

--- Quote ---Q: Will you ever do a crossover between your universes?
A: It would be kind of cool. I’m not sure if it sounds cool or cheesy. Harry’s the wizard, Tavi is the thief…I’m not sure if that would be cool or cheesy. Though really that’s been my entire career.

I think there are many references that indicate that future us are the Builders. One of the clearer ones is the "no smoking" comment.

Its the specific phrasing saying that he possesses a Fury that makes it stand out more to me.

--- Quote from: Simon Hogwood on October 06, 2015, 04:47:21 AM --- I was sort of figuring that the CRYSTALS!tech and aether mechanics and such were either from technological development between us and the apocalypse . . . or side effects of the apocalypse itself.

Brings up the whole "chicken or the egg" sort of thing. Is Iron-Rot a consequence of whatever drove the Builders off the surface or part of the cause? In addition the animals that exist on the surface seem like exaggerated versions of current species. But spiders dont hunt humans in packs, and as far as we know, cats dont have a spoken language or intricate societies.

--- Quote from: cornyphil on October 03, 2015, 04:35:22 AM ---There is at least some potential that WE (being modern humans) are the Builders. That's why language puns like that exist...
Of course that would make Cinder Spires set in a massive post-apocalypse scenario where much of technology was lost... which isn't unreasonable I suppose.

This was my assumption when I read the book.
