More about the fool and his kind

[Talysia]

Just found this thread. I think it would definitely be interesting to see some of the Fool's background. Not TOO much, though. Don't want to ruin the mysterious air.

I want to know more about the Fool and his kind, but then as Talysia mentioned, the mysterious aspect of the Fool would be revealed, which has its pros and cons.

I just wanted Fitz and the Fool to have a proper parting....even if it is for the last time...

I adore the Fool, and I was rather dissapointed at the end of the Tawny Man that more of his past and whole mystery was not revealed, but when I thought about it I like the way he has remained an enigma. I think that is a lot of what was so captivating about his character.
Then again I would still love to learn more of him, his character has just such a complex and interesting personality it almost seems wrong not for his full story to be told. He did however tell Fitz that Fitz knew him better than any other person that breathes, and perhaps what we saw is only what we should see of his story. It would be interesting to learn more of his past but then it's likely I would miss his relationship with Fitz; they had such an incredible one. The ending to the Tawny Man was rather open concerning Fitz and the Fool though ie. Fitz himself said how there was much left unsaid between them, and in the memory stone the Fool gave to him it said "I was never wise", but before he had said it 'would' be wiser if he and Fitz never saw each other again ...
Robin Hobb has said that she does not think she will write about Fitz or the Fool again but if an idea that cannot be ignored comes up she will do so. Soooo you never know

[The Fool]

I would like to read a book about a new white prophet with someone like swift or dutiful's child in it. The Fool was awsome but i think it would ruin the end storyline of Fool's Fate if he came back.

I would love if she wrote a book about the Fool, his past, his present, anything (more about the Whites?) although I would love it even more if she put Fitz in there somehow. I felt really dissatisfied with the ending of “Fool’s Fate.” After 6 books of their unique friendship and it ended like that . . . ? I don’t know.

Personally though as much as I love the Fool, I like him being a mystery. I would really REALLY like her to write a book about the Elderlings! Or anything pertaining to them. I read Hobbs short story “Homecoming” in the Legends II book, which just intrigued me on the subject of the Elderlings and Rain Wilds even more!

I do like trying to piece it together, and love how she leaves clues and hints about the Elderlings, dragons, and Rain Wilds scattered throughout all three of her “Realm of the Elderlings” trilogies. Still, I want to know more! Its so interesting, probably some of my favorite material from her trilogies is related to those subjects.

I must admit, I was always intrigued by the Rain Wilds and the Elderling legends, and would love to read more about them.
