Any news on Peace Talks

--- Quote from: groinkick on April 14, 2019, 05:26:29 PM ---I think that what happened is the White Council suffered some big losses during the war with the reds. They have been weakened, thus making their fight with the Fomor a more difficult one. A good example is the Captain of the Wardens had her power placed in a weaker individual, and she can no longer forge the powerful swords the wardens carry. Morgan, one of their greatest Wardens was killed. Archangel, and the Brute Squad were all slaughtered.
So they lost some heavy hitters, and that's not including all the people they lost to the Reds. A White Council at full strength would be less vulnerable to the Fomor, and their tactics I think.

Absolutely.
And I imagine the pre-war Warden crop, used to the ongoing policing work of finding Warlocks and smashing individual monsters, would have a better mindset for it too than the post-war 'ready for a real battle' group.

Wasn't there an ongoing power struggle between White Council factions when we last saw them in Changes?
Independent George:
So... Jim starts cranking out chapters right while Sanderson is outlining Stormlight 4? And Peace Talks ends up being unusually long?
I think Jim borrowed some unused writing clones. If we see a fourteen page explanation of how magic works in the nevernever, we'll know for sure...

Yes, and we have no idea how it played out. So I'm expecting we'll get some kind of explanation of what happened. The only guess I can make in Senior Council member Cristos gained more power.
Now that I think about it, I think the White Council is in something of a fragil state. It's not really united, and I think that because of the prediction we got from Rashid in Turn Coat when he said to Harry, "It's not your hour" to challenge the Council to combat. That suggests the White Council is or will become a total mess at some point.
Progress: Jim's up to chapter 58 now. Whoever predicted PT will be 62 chapters long is still on track.
