I tend to notice small easter eggs when reading, and here are the best ones I've found so far. I don't know if anyone else has found these, but . . .
You remember how Kalmar used the name Fithyhoop in book 4 when he was commanding the Ridgerunners? If you look at the foot note at the bottom of page 179 of WFT, you find out where he got the name! Fithyhoop is a town in Skree, where Less-Than-Pithy Proverbs was published. I imagine that Kalmar had heard of it or maybe even been there at one point, and it just happend to be the first name that came to his mind. I wonder if there is something special about that place, something that would make someone like Kalmar remember it . . .
The second one will change your view on Ouster Will forever. If you were to turn to page 37 in book 1 and look at the very bottom of the foot note there, you would read this:
The legends were once contained in old books said to have been written by the Maker himself and given to Dwayne for safekeeping, but the old books - along with the Holoré, Will’s famous cream of hen soup recipe, and Yurgen's mountains - are lost.
. . . Will's famous cream of hen soup recipe . . .
Literally the creepiest guy in the whole story, and the villain behind it all . . . is a cook.
And apparently a good one at that.
I don't know why, but the image of Ouster Will standing over a stove, stirring a big pot of cream of hen soup, is just hilarious imo.
Yeah, that's it for now. If one of you have something like this, share it in the comments!
(P.S. sorry mods, I don't know really what category to put this in, since many books are mentioned) :(
my favorite is that the Wingfeather War was a thwap's falt. it it weren't for a thwap provoking nugget, nugget would have never chased it, got in a skirmish with Slarb and none of the events would have happened.
Ouster Will. Ouster Will
Makes soup incredibly divine
Tickles your neck like a spider's twine
Grins in the kitchen while cooking still
It's Ouster Will
Ouster Will
This is how the poem should go 🤣ðŸ˜
It is funny to think about haha! Another fun fact,
This one may be common but... Gnag's real name, Davion, literally means beloved. I thought that was cool.
Add a chef’s hat to the image.
