Sooo Tatters is Salt, right? Or a piece of him, left behind long ago.

There’s been a whole lot of references to Salt in the last two chapters, between the Knave at Queen Eaters and all the mentions of the Traveler Returning at Stonegift. There’s also been a lot of references to the Seventh Letter, what with meeting the play’s author and now the Fire saying it wants to wake Storm and bring about the Seventh Letter.

Salt’s story fits VERY nicely with the ongoing themes of Firmament, changing oneself beyond recognition and being better for it. Each of our officers has been remade by outside forces, just as Salt was remade by the White to fit its schemes.
