Talk:Coldfire Trilogy

message: I guess I'm a bit confused still. My impression at the end of the trilogy was that the fae had simply been rendered able only to be accessed through sacrifice. Therefore, the miscellaneous demons wouldn't be spawned out of apprehension and fear, as there was no sacrifice, but other magics could still be performed by those willing to sacrifice themselves. The Patriarch's sacrifice of life and Gerald's sacrifice of name are major sacrifices enough to count. Was it really that a person had to die? -Fuzzy 20:51, 14 February 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Not necessarily. My reading of it was that Gerald sacrificed his identity, not his life. He was still who he was before, but no longer bolstered by his reputation (in a world where thoughts take form, I imagine a large amount of his power was derived from the legendary status that people held him to) and subject to instant death should someone identify him. *shrug* Six of one, half dozen of the other, I guess. -Fuzzy 06:25, 8 March 2006 (UTC)

text: You're right.  I think the link I provided leads to a site that has a FAQ about the Coldfire Trilogy where C.S. Friedman answers a few of the questions.  You could check that out.- Daimetreya
Slightly off topic but I just wanted to note that actually there are thousands of ways to "sacrifice" yourself that have little or nothing to do with death. Possibilities include giving up memories of a specific person or event, giving up some or all of your power, sacrificing others, etc... :) -Mandragor  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.238.49.65 (talk) 06:52, 17 December 2008 (UTC)

message: Anyone interested in making a page on the Coldfire Trilogy in Wikiquote?  Or perhaps separate pages for each book? Just a thought- Daimetreya
Yes, I think it's a good idea, I'd love to help! Ninedin 07:51, 27 July 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Wikiquote possibility? 

message: I noticed that When True Night Falls was nominated for deletion and the resulting decision was to merge the books into this article. However, as can be seen by the discussion at the top of the page, this would reverse the decision made to split them originally. The original article containing the information from all 3 books made this article incredibly long and unwieldy. I'm not entirely sure I agree with the decision to delete them because they contain only plot summaries, as even the individual novels in Robert Jordan's more well known Wheel of Time series contain only plot descriptions, character lists and naught else. Is that series exempt from the same standards because it is more notable? Would further efforts to improve the Coldfire Trilogy's individual book articles help the case in retaining them as is, or no? FAE 04:58, 19 October 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: We could move the plots from the individual book articles here, but keep them from becoming excessively detailed.  Any character descriptions could be merged together where the same character occurs in different books.  RJFJR (talk) 19:01, 20 November 2011 (UTC)
