Theories of The Kingkiller Chronicle



Welcome to the Theories of the Kingkiller Chronicle
A story untold, a riddle to unfold.

These are the theories of Kvothe. Our continuing goal: to explore a deep, rich world; to find clues and new meaning; to venture forth with wisdom of what to come.

This is the wiki of theories of a man named Kvothe... These are the theories about a king killer. This is the wiki about a man that killed an angel, a man who have talked to Gods, a man who have written songs that make the minstrels weep. This is the wiki about a man that might not have done any of these things.

So, what's this all about then?
In this wiki we will be exploring the theories about Patrick Rothfuss' book series "The Kingkiller Chronicle" and the world in which the story resides.

NOTE: BE PREPARED FOR SPOILERS

You can find an overview of the current theories at the aptly named page: Overview of Theories

Guidelines for references
When making a claim or referencing something, add a reference. Other than that, common sense is the main guideline to be followed.

If you are sourcing from the books you should always add the book and what chapter you are sourcing from. If it is helpful for clarification you can add a short quote, for example: WMF - C51 "There was another scrape at the window, louder this time. Bast’s eyes darted away from the window to the mantel, and he caught up something with both hands. Metal gleamed faintly in the dim moonlight as he crouched, his body tense as a coiled spring".

For consistency, use these abbreviations for the books in the reference:
 * The Door of Stone: DOS
 * The Wise Man's Fear: WMF
 * The Name of the Wind: NOTW
 * The Slow Regard of Silent Things: SRST
 * The Lightning Tree: LT
 * How Old Holly Came to be: HOHC
