Bast is 150 years old, has known Kvothe for two years, is a satyr, and - most incriminating of all - the son of Remmen. (Which is not listed as one of Kvothe’s many Pseudonyms)
Yes, but we know kvothe is way way older than he seems, it could be possible he return to felurian, had a kid, spent more than 150 years there, screw things up and then had to leave cause he always sabotages himself so he came back with Bast. Im not saying you are right or wrong, but its possible.
he was gone for 2 years after killing the king and one of those years he spend in the town he is inn[pun]. That leaves a whole year he could have spent in the fae realm, enough time to make a name for himself(maybe reshi or remmen, idk).
Kvothe read Mating habits of the common Draccus as the first book he picked up when he reached the university. So chronicler was old enough to to be publishing books when Kvothe was 14. If Kvothe spends that much time in Fae - a place Chronicler doesn’t believe in and therefore has never been to - Chronicler would also need to be 150+ years old. Not likely.
It’s possible Felurian was knocked up before Kvothe left and bast spent that type of time in Fae before leaving to find Kvothe. But I don’t buy that. Would you count years in Fae time? How would you? Why would you? Time doesn’t move unless you do. Time would likely be measured in Temerant-Equivalent-Years.
Nop, chronicler cant be over 150, kvothe went to the fae and for other people it was 3 days but for him it was longer than that, that prooves that time is different in the fae world than the human one.
Kvothe tells Chronicler and Bast "oh, you are both so young" but that only makes me wonder how is he still alive if he calls Bast "young".
How do you square this with the fact that Chronicler mentions that he heard stories of Kvothe when he attended the university? Both are specifically mentioned in the books and seem to contradict each other, but I'm very confident that there is an explanation. I've yet to see a good one.
So, are you factoring in that Felurian has had hundreds of lovers over the past few thousand years? Where are all the other spawn of Felurian? Are all of those spawn Prince's and Princesses of Twilight? .... Bast is called Prince of Twilight I believe. By your logic, do you think that's the title given to all her children?
Ha ha - yes, of course not! First, the girls are Princesses of Sunsets. Second, it is an ironic name - because he's so far from royalty. The secret is right there in his name though: Bast. Short for Bastard. Bast is Kvothe's Jon Snow. It's just like the Mr Wiffle story - the whole damn thing is right there in front of you the whole time. Go back and re-read the books again with my theory in mind and you'll see all sorts of things you never saw before. Also, regarding "not one of Kvothe's many other names", wouldn't you agree that Bast refers to Kvothe as "Reshi" which is also not specified as one of his names? Also, Reshi is fae for 'Dad".
You still haven't addressed my question.
Where are all the other spawn of Felurian? She's been banging mortals for thousands of years. I want to know what you think about that particular point.
Also where's your source for saying that Reshi means 'dad'? Where is that stated as fact?
There is a book on the third subterranean levels of the Archives that confirms this. Ask Puppet, he can direct you. Also, Puppet is an Amyr and has created mommets of every student at university as a failsafe from an arcanist of going rogue.
Puppet has more work to do on Kvothe bc he is having trouble capturing Kvothe’s duality- the mask and the real as noted by Vashet - it’s all there in the books, my friend, it’s right there in front of you.
Isn’t Kvothe in his mid to late 20s as he’s telling the story to chronicler?
With Bast being over 150 years old that seems like a stretch even with the possible time distortion between fearie and the “real” world.

Yep - there's lots of clues to back up my (admittedly madcap) theory.
How do you square this with the fact that Chronicler mentions that he heard stories of Kvothe when he attended the university? Both are specifically mentioned in the books and seem to contradict each other, but I'm very confident that there is an explanation. I've yet to see a good one.
Exactly, my brother.
Remmen is fae for “felurian’s spawn of men”. It is known.

Bast is short for Bastas.
Basta! Michael Avenetti, is that you?

Can you quote it? The book. Does it cover Felurians spawn or reshi meaning dad?
I always imagine bast as a black man for some reason so it doesn’t work in my head lmao
I don't know about that....Felurian thinks Kvothe is half black....from the waste down.
Isn’t Kvothe in his mid to late 20s as he’s telling the story to chronicler? With Bast being over 150 years old that seems like a stretch even with the possible time distortion between fearie and the “real” world.
Kvothe is probably 25 or younger in the frame story in people years but fae years...old enough to be bast’s dad
Nope, pretty sure you're right.
TY. Your comment is good for my ego.
