"Andir saw a tall man, smiling so hard it almost seemed as though he had no lips. There was a grotesque scar running down his bare chest. Andir knew his name from the stories, and might have said it aloud had his tongue still worked. And ... something else, behind him. Something nameless for a thousand years."
So ... what was this something?
Not Shiver - she'd been "named" only 60 years ago. Neither could it be a shade. So what was it? Hmm.
