Book of Breathings - The Crossover - CHD-Archesian Amulets
In CHD Alex asked about the book of breathings and how did it end up in Jesiba's library(now bryce's library) in crescent city world.
I dont know. You've to stay tuned for answers.
Which leads me to believe that we will learn how in the next acotar book.
Hofas revealed SUCH huge connection for book of breathings and I made a big post about it if you want to read it.
āWhen the Cauldron was made,ā the carver interrupted, āits dark maker used the last of the molten ore to forge a book. The Book of Breathings. In it, written between the carved words, are the spells to negate the Cauldronās powerāor control it wholly. But after the War, it was split into two pieces. One went to the Fae, one to the six human queens. It was part of the Treaty, purely symbolic, as the Cauldron had been lost for millennia and considered mere myth. The Book was believed harmless, because like calls to likeāand only that which was Made can speak those spells and summon its power. No creature born of the earth may wield it, so the High Lords and humans dismissed it as little more than a historical heirloom, but if the Book were in the hands of something reforged ⦠You would have to test such a theory, of courseābut ⦠it might be possible.ā (acomaf)
So...only made can use its magic.
Made = Feyre , Nesta and Elain
She stared and stared at the Bookāas if it were a ghost, as if it were a miracleāand said, āIt is the Leshon Hakodesh. The Holy Tongue.ā Those quicksilver eyes shifted to Rhysand, and I realized sheād understood, too, why sheād gone. Rhysand said, āI heard a legend that it was written in a tongue of mighty beings who feared the Cauldronās power and made the Book to combat it. Mighty beings who were here ⦠and then vanished. You are the only one who can uncode it.ā (acomaf)
Mighty beings = Daglan/Asteri
Amren turned to Rhysand and said in that new, strange languageātheir language: āThe glowing letters inked on her back ⦠theyāre the same as those in the Book of Breathings.ā (hofas)
āI can teach you things youāve never even dreamed of,ā Rigelus promised. āThe language inked on your backāit is our language. From our home world. I can teach you how to wield it. Any world might be open to you, Bryce Quinlan. Name the world, and it shall be yours.ā(hofas)
As you can see the book the language in it is tied to the Asteri.
Do we have to get Book of Breatings back from the Jesiba's library...
Also it is an interesting connection that Jesiba who was a priestesses in Parthos had protection necklaces called "Archesian" and archesian necklace is a three interlocking triangles. š
Bryce zipped a tiny golden pendantāa knot of three entwined circlesāalong the delicate chain around her neck.
Danika went on patrol armed with claws, a sword, and guns, but Bryceās daily armor consisted solely of this: an Archesian amulet barely the size of her thumbnail, gifted by Jesiba on the first day of work. A hazmat suit in a necklace, Danika had marveled when Bryce had shown off the amuletās considerable protections against the influence of various magical objects. Archesian amulets didnāt come cheap, but Bryce didnāt bother to delude herself into thinking her bossās gift was given out of anything but self-interest. It would have been an insurance nightmare if Bryce didnāt have one. Danika nodded to the necklace. āDonāt take that off. Especially if youāre looking into shit like the Horn.ā Even though the Hornās mighty powers had long been deadāif it had been stolen by someone powerful, sheād need every magical defense against them.
But it was to just unclasp the golden amulet from around her neck. āHere. To sweeten the deal. An Archesian amulet. Itās fifteen thousand years old, and fetches around three million gold marks on the market.ā
āSays the female with the Archesian amulet around her neck. The amulet of the priestesses who once served and guarded Parthos. I think you know whatās hereāthat you spend your days in the midst of all that remains of the library after most of it burned at Vanir hands fifteen thousand years ago.ā
āDanika knew the Archesian amulet would hide you from any detection, magical or demonic. With that amulet, you were invisible to the kristallos, bred to hunt the Horn.ā
Does archeron and Archesian has a connection? Bc you know...ARCHERON...ARCHESIAN. makes a person think what's the connection and why Sarah named it the way she did??? @wingedblooms and @offtorivendell talked about Archesian amulets in here if you want to read it.
And in the post @wingedblooms made me remember that Bone corver also drew that line in Prison....
The Carver traced three overlapping, interlocked circles in the dirt. āYou have met my sisterāmy twin. The Weaver, as you now call her. I knew her as Stryga. She, and our older brother, Koschei. How they delighted in this world when we fell into it. How those ancient Fae feared and worshipped them. Had I been braver, I might have bided my timeāwaited for their power to fade, for that long-ago Fae warrior to trick Stryga into diminishing her power and becoming confined to the Middle. Koschei, tooāconfined and bound by his little lake on the continent. All before Prythian, before the land was carved up and any High Lord was crowned.ā
Another INSANE connection imo is Parthos is a real life old city located in OLD ILLIRIA.
Parthus or Parthos (Ancient Greek: ΠάĻĪøĪæĻ; Latin: Parthus) was a settlement of the Illyrian tribe of the Parthini in southern Illyria, modern Albania.
Another connection is...
I have always thought that Acheron the river to underworld in Greek myth was an inspo for the Archeron names. Is it Archer...acheron...archeron???
Ancient Greek mythology saw the Acheron, sometimes known as the "river of woe", as one of the five rivers of the Greek underworld.[2] The name is of uncertain etymology.[3]Most classical accounts, including Pausanias (10.28) and later Dante's Inferno (3.78), portray the Acheron as the entrance to the Underworld and depict Charon ferrying the souls of the dead across it. Ancient Greek literary sources such as Pindar, Aeschylus, Euripides, Plato, and Callimachus also place Charon on the Acheron. Roman poets, including Propertius, Ovid, and Statius, name the river as the Styx, perhaps following the geography of Virgil's underworld in the Aeneid, where Charon is associated with both rivers.The Homeric poems describe the Acheron as a river of Hades, into which Cocytus and Phlegethon both flowed.[4][5]The Roman poet Virgil called the Acheron the principal river of Tartarus, from which the Styx and the Cocytus both sprang.[6] The newly dead would be ferried across the Acheron by Charon in order to enter the Underworld
I theorized that Ramiel could be the Tartarus of Acotar world. That there might be other sleeping under ramiel like the greek myth titans.
As you can see the names and everything fit together.
@wingedblooms also theorized in here that the rivers could be a way to hel? In ramiel? Tied with the pass of Enalius. Which we know from Crossover that had the Truth-teller before Fionn. It ties with this post as well. Acheron/archeron/achesian = rivers = hel connection.
@silverlinedeyes theorized that illyrians were actually hel demons? Could this be another connection to Hel and Ramiel as we know Ramiel is sacred to them?
So what's the connection of all of these...
Book of Breatings = in jesiba's library = jesiba = a priestess in parthos = parthos priestesses has necklace called ARCHESIAN = parthos a settlement in old iliria = archeron/archesian = acheron(river) connection with greek myth hell/underworld = we have rivers in acotar... underground rivers that we discovered in crossover = hel/ramiel(?) = illyrians being demons(?)
It all seem a little bit too connected imo. š
Also with the way we know Archesian amulets are 15k year old. Maybe there was a fae/human/anyone was named Archeron which influenced this. Maybe it was the Fae warrior that trapped Koschei( @silverlinedeyes )An acotar history lore perhaps that will connect to WHY archerons are important and why brought them all together.
Thanks for reading. šš©·
