Talk:The Beachcomber

Cryppys
The edit history suggests that the Beach-Crow must be Cryppys, as there are four aviform Hours and the three who speak are not the Beach-Crow. But by my estimate, there are actually five, as cited in The Book of the White Cat - the Elegiast, the Vagabond, the Beach-Crow, and the "twin kites" (WxS, SxW) make five. I'm not sure we can truly conclude that Cryppys is the Beach-Crow. Illuminatiswag777 (talk) 06:46, 6 March 2019 (UTC)

I don't think that the manifestation of the Sister-and-Witch is one of the aviform hours, only the Witch-and-Sister. For example, In The Mountains... mentions only the Witch-and-Sister as one of the aviform hours, and explicitly mentions that it, the Beach-Crow, the Vagabond, and the Elegiast are the four that meet. The Sister-and-Witch is unmentioned in all of these tomes. Jadedjokester4 (talk) 16:38, 6 March 2019 (UTC)

The Sister-and-Witch Masterpiece says "she has been a pair of funeral birds", which would classify her as one of the aviform Hours. I see your point about In The Mountains, though - perhaps the Twins are treated as a single entity in Birdsong. Illuminatiswag777 (talk) 17:56, 6 March 2019 (UTC)

Good point- sorry for missing the painting. Given their reflective nature, they probably are considered the same entity here. Jadedjokester4 (talk) 21:25, 6 March 2019 (UTC)
