The Stone Sky / int_1869b4b1	type	Unreliable Narrator
The Stone Sky / int_1869b4b1	comment	Unreliable Narrator: Lampshaded by Hoa when he is giving the stone eaters' backstory, saying that his memory works a lot like a human’s, meaning that it is imperfect. For example, he describes Kelenli and Gallat with terms that correspond to Essun and Schaffa, respectively — but he quickly clarifies that this resemblance is just artistic licence; it's hard for him to remember what Kelenli and Gallat actually looked like, and what he can recall is influenced by the fact that he likes Kelenli/Essun and doesn't like Gallat/Schaffa.

The tuners, treated as lesser beings for their whole lives, have had enough and plan to use the Engine to shutdown their entire magic system and collapse the Sylanagistine civilization. But then the Earth becomes aware of the humanity's attempts to steal its power and takes over the Engine, planning to cause a cataclysm bad enough to end all life on the planet. The tuners, led by Hoa, manage to take back control of most obelisks, redirect their power to the moon, which is thrown off-orbit, and the Earth only manages to inflict a still devastating, but survivable cataclysm, which would be known as The Shattering.
