As anyone who has ever had to do home repairs can tell you, preservation isn't all that passive. At least it doesn't feel like it at the end of the day

I am very late to the party, and I haven't been paying much attention for the past couple of years, but i *love* the idea of Kendrie being to one to take Rawneth down, as an act of preservation. It shows him as tough, and gets revenge on all the abuse of him she presided over.
I've totally forgot: who was Quirl and his mother? Lordy, I've got to finish this series before my mind goes. Oh. Was he the cadet killed by the dire hound and his mother the one who carved his name into her flesh to remember? I think so. Couldn't immediately remember that happened to her, although I made note of it. Eek.
I hear you about home repair. At one point, powder-post beetles turned my generations-old foundation into lace-work. One strand of Demons Possessed came out of that.
I hadn't thought about Kindrie saving the Randir, but that makes sense. He certainly has a connection with the Priests' College, and should as some point meet Titmouse. There's also a point with Rawneth's baby Jelly, but that comes later.

The pyric rune appears to be Destruction in action, more of a Jame thing. We see her free the dead with fire several times over the course of the books.
In dark of the moon they talk about how he might be powerful enough to bring back the dead. If I were Rawneth I would try to destroy Areulan's banner to drive the Iron matriarch insane. The DNA is in that banner and he could literally make her body from what is there. Her soul is trapped in the banner. There is no reason he could not actually bring her back to life. You would literally see the threads pulling up as if someone was coming out of the banner. It could be he responded in an act of desperation in response to what Brenwyr would do, meaning he would have zero idea how he did it so no one could demand he keep doing it. Brenwyr's power would go out of control as she thinks Rawneth has destroyed the banner. I always felt that Areulan was one who held traits of both creation and preservation. She balanced Brenwyr, and even in death she tries to protect her. This could occur in similar state as when Kindrie saw his mother, where there was both a Physical and spiritual cross over. Areulan's power and Kindrie's could pull her back

This is a really good point. From what's been stated, That Which Preserves is also that which heals -- and healing, while not creation or destruction, exactly, is awesome and overpowering if extreme enough

With James destroying what needs broken in her own way, and Tori trying to inspire everyone to help him create a new order... They'll both need Kindrie to be more political. I think he needs to be the voice of reason, because that is very much not James or Tori's strong suit.
There is always the fact that according to the Merikit Jame is the Father so she has a host of 'children '. Would these children not be Knorth? Also would they then be added into the Knorth clan?
Jame's "daughters" are a bit of a problem. I didn't mean to suggest that they share any actual blood, but they have her eyes. Tirresian also has her androgynous nature, in spades. I look forward to Torisen meeting his "nieces."
