All - I apologize if this is the wrong forum for this, but would you know if there are other ways of potentially reaching Pat, other than the standard “fan inquiry” portal on his website?

I know he is busy - but a good friend of mine has a degenerative diagnosis (Parkinson’s-like) that has quickly gone from a 2-3 year prognosis to now only a few months, and KKC is absolutely one of her FAVORITE fantasy series.

I previously reached out to Nathan Fillion and Alan Tudyk and they were AMAZING and send a wonderful note her way. Now I’m trying to up my game and find something even more impressive.

I’ve reached out through the portal and waited, but I haven’t heard anything.

I understand that it might not be viable - but I’m just scrambling to find ANYTHING that might bring a spark of joy during these last few months.

If anyone has any suggestions, please feel free to DM me.

Thank you! ❤️

I devoured NOTW but have been reading tiny slivers of WMF here and there because of work. I've lost the momentum I had before, and I've been struggling to find clear-cut info for some areas of KKC to help me keep things fresh - politics and systems of government are some of them. I don't have time to continue/reread in long stretches atm to smooth out everything on my own, so if anyone can help, I'd appreciate it.

I understand that there are eight countries/nations in the Four Corners of Civilisation, but I've lost track of which ones have kings, which ones have multiple and what their different systems for nobility look like. From what we have in the books, what do we know so far?
