I REALLY like this theory that the new Echo, I call it either the Echo of Riis, Echo of Song, or Echo of Transmutation, is Eliksni in origin and that it might be Chelchis! She’s always been an interesting Kell whose most noteworthy accomplishment was holding back Oryx and The Black Fleet. Do you think it was her singing like in that last lore page?
Yep, pretty much my theory as well!
I really didn't expect it to be an Eliksni Echo because last time it was just an ancient dead species so I assumed they might be going with that but this makes so much sense as well. While Eliksni survived being completely annihilated in the Whirlwind, many of them still died and they lost their home planet so obviously they would also be preserved in the Witness' memory.
I also really like the idea that it's Chelchis as the Echo's focus. May not be, or maybe it doesn't really matter who it is, but it would be fitting given her importance for the defense of Riis during the Whirlwind and her singing in the lore page.
i guess my ask got devoured by the tumblr bug, but what do you think about the theory that the echo of riis is made from chelchis’s memories?
Oh, no worries, it didn't get eaten! I was just too busy writing fic to remember to answer it. Got the Misraaks/Taniks brainworms and couldn't let it slip before I did something with it.
I'm personally of the opinion that it's pretty much canon, with the Echo being made up of the memories of Riis that were communally lost in the Whirlwind, and Chelchis acting as its speaker. This is mostly because of what we know of the Echo of Command and the Garden-Way lorebook, where the Echoes seem to have a 'primary' speaker/figurehead, and Chelchis was singing her star-song. Eramis likely didn't recognize her because Eramis was a star tracker for the Dancers at the time, while Chelchis was the Kell of Stone, but I do think it's Chelchis who's the singer in the Echo. It just feels too odd otherwise
As for why Eramis was a better match for the Echo than Variks despite neither of them recognizing Chelchis's voice, I think it's because Variks was able to let go of Riis, while Eramis never could stop yearning to go home. Variks has been speaking about how he's given his home to the legends since D1, focusing instead on ensuring that his people survived in Sol, while Eramis could never stop thinking about what they lost, and how to get it back. Eramis also has the drive and the desire to just burn it all down and start anew, which means that she's stubborn enough to want to bring back Riis while also knowing that it will never be the same as it was before. Which are admirable, necessary qualities for anyone who's going into ecological restoration, lmao
Personally, my hope is that if they ever do a follow-up with Eramis, we get a lorebook like we did with Maya and the Quagu where we see that Chelchis and Eramis have been vibing together, with Chelchis offering some of the much-needed therapy that Eramis rebuked from the humans. Chelchis seemed like a big, solid, kind lady from the lorebook with years of both kellship and motherhood under her belt (good kells seem to be intrinsically tied to being a good parent in the lore, which is the only reason I mention this), so whatever trials Eramis faces in finding her family and restoring her homeworld, I hope that Chelchis would be there to offer comfort and support

Hey remember how I'd planned to make a speculative Chelchis, Kell of Stone figure?
I'm getting there.
did chelchis survive the whirlwind in rifts of light, or was she still killed/taken by oryx? and if so, did the house of stone survive her?
I'm debating this. Chelchis would be very old in present Riis, so even if she would survive her encounter with Oryx, she likely would have retired from the position, albeit probably unwillingly.
If she is dead, I imagine she has an heir to her position already chosen. The House of Stone would survive the same as Judgement and Kings. They're a trifecta that act similar the Vanguard, though they have council with surviving Houses that they can keep contact with. If Chelchis still lives, she would be a part of that council.
so maybe i've missed this discussion, but given the lorebook mentions chelchis has a son who went into the house of gentle weavers (aka the house of wolves) and that we've just had someone from the house of wolves resurrected... is skolas her son? is the "seeking-song for the lost" literally for her lost son?
