Crap didn't think about it that way, the Skill is the Dragon magic, hence the Farseers may be descendants of the Elderlings in some way. Makes a little more sense now, hope Hobb keeps explaining this, def one of my fav aspects of her books.
I just want so the the reveal already and how is he gonna explain the "Amber" situation and what he was up to between Farseer and Tawny Man. Some obviously is the Liveship trilogy, but that only aprox 3 or 4 years only.

So basically Tintaglia waked up the dragon inside Vivacia effectively "killing" Vivacia, now the thing is that she will do the same with every liveship, and where does this go from here?...
I have to admit that this might be my favorite book so far, because we are finding out how the magic system works exactly and its very intricate and interesting to me. I specially liked that the dragon cocoons are made of sand and spit and carry with them the memories of all their ancestors, hence why the liveships still have memories with them although buried deep inside the. It's live a HDD that has been wiped and filled with new data (3 captains' memories) but somehow Tintaglia has a data recovery tool for dragon memories and used it to delete the captains' memories and recover the dragon memories. Yes this is a joke but that's exactly how it works.
So the "elderlings" perse are humans that where allies of dragons but they shared features with them hence the Rain Wilds people must be their decendants. When verity went looking for elderlings he went looking for humans, so I guess these humans would ride dragons, and those elderlings with their dragons helped the last king to win the red-ship war but Verity did it only with creations made from their Skill but he needed the Rain Wild river as a source of power that's why people went there to crate the statues. (yes I'm rambling here but I would like this clarified, probably I missed something that clarified this). Did they explained yet what are the statues that come to live?
elderlings=humans allies of dragons
dragons=dragons
statues come to life= unknown
Stop Here if you don't want any possible spoilers! You have been warned!
HFS!
Everything that Amber told to Rache!!! It's all the proof I needed, this "freedom bead" it's the same we saw in the Farseer trilogy, we know where that ended up and we know exactly who gave it to her and we know who is her true love. "I'm a prophet I've been sent to save the world". We know who the one and only prophet is.
The clues are all there!!!!!!!!!
These books are very clever!
