Dates and Numbers - Fourth Wing

I am currently rereading The Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yarros, and can say, I am way down the rabbit hole. As I was rereading the first few chapters, I really focused on world building and foreshadowing that I missed the first time around. I started to question, what time a year is all this happening in? How is the quadrant organized? So, I did the math:

Timeline/Dates

On page 155, We learn that Threshing happens on October 1st every year. I used this as the base line for the following numbers, please note that these are approximates. On page 47, violet says that they will face the Gauntlet "when the leaves turn colors in two months." This alone places the Gauntlet in late September... but how late?

Reading further on page 47, we learn that if they pass the Gauntlet, all the cadets immediately go to presentation. Two Days later is Threshing. This means the Gauntlet is on September 28th. That means, looking back 2 months, that conscription day is on August 4th.

Page 47, for context, is set during the very first death scroll reading. Meaning Violet has been a cadet for less than 24 hours at this point.

Quadrant Organization:

Right off the bat, we learn that Basgiath War College is home to four quadrants: Scribe, Infantry, Healers, and, of course, the Riders. We know very little on the Healers quadrant, but even less on the Infantry Quadrant. (If I was a betting man, I would wager we will learn more about both in the following books.) We know a little bit on the Scribes, their values, and their mission through Violets training and her father. However, we learned quite a bit about the riders quadrant.

On page 32 we see the first mention of Squads, Sections, and Wings from Dain Aetos. (Notice how he doesn't explain it, just expects Rhiannon to know- Jerk.) Anyway, On page 40, Violet being the sweet soul she is, explains to Rhiannon, and us, that there are four wings. Each wing has three sections and each section has 3 squads. The number of cadets in each squad depends on the number of candidates that made it across the parapet and the cadets that are alive from previous years.

Using this year's number of cadets (new and returning,) there are between 15 and 16 cadets in each squad. That means that there are 540 to 576 cadets, in total, in the riders quadrant. Within each section there are 45 to 48 cadets, and within each wing there are 135 to 144 cadets.

There are 4 wingleaders - with a senior wingleader for the quadrant (Page 40), - there are 12 section leaders (three Flame, three Claw, and three tail, to be exact (page 40),) and there are 36 squad leaders.

That was a lot of information, so let me know if you have any questions. I will continue to update as I continue my reread.

Guys. I did a thing. I did it to cope with the overwhelming dread after finishing Iron Flame.

Vi and Xaden and Fourth wing coded playlist for you all to enjoy with me.

I'm expanding it slowly and am aiming for the “sountrack” feel, trying to match the songs with the ongoing story of both books.

Enjoy 🤗

Another small treasure from the past arrived this week, and very well protected for the journey thanks to an excellent Etsy seller. I stumbled upon this one by accident and knew it had to come home.

Grain has been a dietary staple for millennia, providing sustenance to countless civilizations. But before that fluffy white bread or steaming bowl of rice lands on your table, there's a crucial step: threshing. In the early days of agriculture, threshing was a community affair. Farmers would gather after harvest, wielding flails – simple tools consisting of a wooden handle attached to a weighted stick. They’d rhythmically beat the stalks, releasing the kernels in a shower of chaff.

Isaiah 27:12 A Coming Gathering

And it shall come to pass in that day that the Lord will thresh, from the channel of the River to the Brook of Egypt; and you will be gathered one by one, O you children of Israel. Isaiah 27:12 Farmers that grow wheat will begin to thresh it when the wheat is ready to be harvested. It is a process of gathering the wheat and keeping out what is not the wheat. Combines are now used to gather in…

आज की सुबह

#Blog आज की सुबह घर पर आते आते थक जाता हूं मैं। एक कप चाय की तलब है। पत्नीजी डिजाइनर कुल्हड़ में आज चाय देती हैं। लम्बोतरा, ग्लास जैसा कुल्हड़ पर उसमें 70 मिली लीटर से ज्यादा नहीं आती होगी चाय। दो तीन बार ढालनी पड़ती है।

दूध लाना होता है। अखबार लाना होता है। यह काम न भी करूं तो चल सकता है। वाहन चालक अशोक नौ बजे आता है। उससे दूध मंगाया जा सकता है। अखबार तो दर्जनो मिलते हैं मेग्जटर पर। पर नहीं, सवेरे पौने पांच बजे उठ कर घण्टे भर में साइकिल निकाल दूध की डेयरी जाना है। साइकिल चलाने का व्यायाम तो करना ही है। कल परिवार चला गया है प्रयागराज। तो दूध कम लेना है। दो ही आदमी हैं अब हम। एक लीटर बहुत होगा। आगे बढ़ कर अखबार…

“Why Risk A Threshing Fire?” Canadian Champion (Milton). August 27, 1942. Page 3. ---- OBEY THE FIRE MARSHAL'S ORDER Posted on Machine ----- Practice These 3 Simple Safety Measures:

Threshing fires will be practically eliminated if these three simple precautions are taken:

Use a water sprayer at the base of the blower-supplying 1.20 to 40 gallons of water per hour according to the dryness of the straw. This will keep down dust which increases fire the moment it starts.

Prevent matches, either loose or is bores, from passing 2. through the machine. Boxes of matches have proved more dangerous than loose matches. Insist that none be carried by anyone engaged., Obey the Fire Marshal's order posted on the machine.

Set the engine or tractor well away from straw or any 3. other readily combustible material. Prevent loads of sheaves from standing or passing near to the engine's exhaust.

Especially in wartime it is every farmer's duty to prevent threshing fires from starting. But if they do start, he ready for them. Keep a barrel of water near the blower-and another near the engine. A flame-proof blanket is an excel lent thing to smother fire the moment it begins: but a coat or a smock will do. Fight by preventing fires.
