View Full Version : WHAT is the 'Cuff of Cruce' ?
:34::th_thud::47::eek::th_goingtobed-vi:...AS AISLYNN asked quite a while ago, but the question became buried....
per Dictionary.com
cruce:
1.) a symbol formed by two lines placed a cross each other, eg. + or x
2.) two wooden beams placed thus + on which Christ was nailed, the symbol of Christian religion
3.) a lasting cause of suffering
4.) the result of breeding two varieties of animal or plant
5.) any of several types of medals given for bravery
SPANISH; an animal bred from two different breeds
ROMANIAN; cross
When Karen typed the word CRUCE, she really said a mouthful, didn't she ?!! All would definitely fit. TOO many pieces I fear are part of this puzzle for me tonight...
AISLYNN, why the heck did you ask that question, lass ?
MY BRAINS are going to fall out my ear....
Jo, thanks for the info, but please don't hurt yourself!!

Jo you are really sleuthing, love the info!
Naw ! I am a wealth of useless information. I HATE when puzzle pieces don't fit just right...ANYHOO, JB is a fae half breed not human Vilkacis/Vilkatas/Vilkatis I would bet my next weeks chocolate on it. Circenn is the only FAE/Human offspring (as based on prior books & has a daughter seer with Gaby, with one on the way). JB supposedly had blood on his hands, aye ?!! Not his mouth...A vampire would have blood on his mouth. JUST muttering to myself as usual...THIS next book should give us JB's identity, BLOODfever...blood on hands is symbolic. Guilty = blood on hands...:ring:
HEY ! These guys are going counter clockwise ! Why...never mind. HI GIRLS, LisK & Cheryle . How are things ? Missed you everytime I was on. DRAT !!!

FYI Circenn married Lisa and had children. It was his father, Adam Black who married Gabby and had a son and a sidhe-seer daughter with one on the way...

Yup knew that also...

Adam Black is the father of Circenn Brodie in Highlander's Touch & Tessa Black in Immortal...Tessa has a new baby brother or sister due (wife:Gabrielle O'Callaghan), both are sidhe-seers...Tessa & Gabby, I mean.

IF I understand correctly, Cruce is actually a character in the story. In Mac's glossary of terms, at the back of DF, she talks about the 'Sifting Silvers' or mirrors, that were cursed by 'Cruce.' Also, V'Lane talks about Cruce having concubines - hence the cuff that he offers to Mac. I've been wondering if Cruce isn't the Dark Figure that we see in BF.

Claudia, just started to reread DF today & check page 160 of DF.V'Lane offers it to Mac to wear...It's the cuff. Supposedly protection...Check it out, ok ? "COUNTACH,Countach, Countach..." Wink !
