Page 422: Lackless

Kvothe learns just how far back the name ‘Lackless’ goes. We talk about real-world comparisons to a name older than empires, and how being able to tie one’s nation or family to the mythic past is a great way to build prestige. We also talk about how Rothfuss presents the changing name Lackless, and take a detour into our own prestigious geneaologies. Finally, we cast a suspicious side-eye at Caudicus - fraud, or maligned arcanist?
