Was it inspired by the crusades

shimeh seems like it's Jerusalem, of how everyone wants it.

I'm near the end of the 3rd book and have been experimenting with making scenes from the books.

I have only read The Darkness That Comes Before, but Kellhus has ensnared my mind and I decided to do my best to recreate him as he is by the end of the 1st book. Let me know what you all think!

Saw that yall were posting some fan art- this is my first post ever on here.

“And when I sleep, I will dream of their lamentations and be glad of heart.”

The rape of Omindalea at least points to the fact that procreation between the two is possible and at least one Non-man did not consider it beneath him to mate with a human woman.

So especially after the plague of wombs, why did they not take human women as wives?
