Selitos lays a curse upon Lanre and seals his fate, and Kvothe is snapped back to reality.  We talk about the epic language, squabble about how Haliax teleports, and just maybe hit on the solution to the mystery of the Chandrian.

Kvothe bids his goodbyes to Skarpi, for now. We theorize that Skarpi is testing Kvothe, discuss the difference between mimesis and diegesis, and point out things that Rothfuss is telling us about the story through Rothfuss and Kvothe.

Kvothe describes the University for us, and walks into the Archives for the first time. We talk about how Kvothe knows the names of the buildings, the inscription above the Archives, and what the University town can tell us about life there.

Kvothe meets Willem who denies him access to the Archives. We talk about the way Willem's second language is expressed, the way Rothfuss casts his multicultural characters, and worldbuilding through context clues.
