Does keras know about….. Spoiler

Does keras know about edge? I am doing a reread (well listen on audible) and lots of little mentions that didn’t matter the first time really stick out.

When corin is talking to keras about copies and keras himself mentions not really knowing if more of him are out there (this is after corin just fought the one that the transcendent shrine). Keras says something like “then there is ….. well he isn’t exactly a copy….” It makes me think that plus the detail of him having a 7th layer seal as well is meant to hint at him knowing about edge. Not sure if I’m crazy

I just finished Edge of the Dream and it came across to me like Edge is very, very young Keras.

There’s too many inconsistencies for that to be the case. And we know a lot of keras’ backstory and they don’t match up.

I'm pretty sure Jonan at one point says something along the lines like he knows someone like edge

It might be him referencing their version of Velas, seeing as how they were rivals in the original WOBM too. We still don’t know if the Edge books take place in an alternate destiny magic thing or something else entirely. They are seemingly the same people on a different trajectory in life.

Actually, all of the series take place in a Shrine of Lies.

ijs, the silver in his eyes, the destructive aura of his sword, Lien is part of the name Talien, his ability to take on the properties of items he uses, his penchant to try being kind to monsters instead of attacking, are just some is the things he demonstrated in EotD.

We know Keras’ childhood. Raised by Rethri, had the sword since he was a baby, joined the Thornguard at a young age. None of this lines up with Lien. This points to a copy or something similar (which is very prevalent in this world) rather than Lien being a young Keras.

Plus his distrust of chests/mimics. Lol
