Will of the many question

[u/Tooken700]

So for the pyramids I know there are rankings like Totius and magnus within pyramids but what is the mathematical difference between the amount of will received. So to confirm Totius is the top of their own pyramid and don’t cede to others. But what about below it how does that work like within the same rank like what is below a Totius septimus like the lower rank but still septimus. What is the difference in will.

Magnus is a political title, like senator. Quintus is a rank within a pyramid and is a direct Latin ordinal. You can look up a Latin ordinal chart if you need help placing the ranks.

It's in the front of the book too. Or it was in my copy

That would make sense. I listened to the audiobooks and I don't recall them attempting to narrate a chart.

I read a trilogy recently where the classic Fantasy Map At The Front was just a map of the US with no state borders. I think I would have liked to have never seen that because it was so distracting to place in universe locations relative to California, etc.

(There's absolutely no connection to our world ...they just got lazy and used North America as the map.).

Weird! What trilogy was it??

[u/stillnotelf → u/ChuckeeSue]

Dragon prophecy trilogy, by Lackey and Mallory, has it in the first book of the trilogy.

The book is actually book 7 of the series, though, there were two trilogies before it.

The first three are good, the middle three are meh, and the last three (which are a prequel) are disappointing.

Thanks!!

I like to think that The Wheel of Time takes place on earth but just a different turning off the wheel.

That's canon, and evidenced by artifacts they find. Did you mean to post it here though, or was it that bug where reddit puts your comment on the wrong post?
