You know why we're not having The doors Of Stone? Because The Waystone Inn lays in a silence of three parts, AND THE THIRD PART IS THE DEEPEST AND HEAVIEST PART.

King killer chronicles theory.
We've already been shown how to kill the leader of the seven.
A man who's face is hidden in shadow. And we've seen how to cut shadow when Kvothes Shadow cloak was made. And she used moon light to do it.
That's why the songs say to fear a night with no moon.
It's not just that the moon is more in the fae world then the mortal one.
That's why his former friend and ally bound his face in shadow. Now it's not his name that needs to be known. Because once you know the name of shadow you can bar his path. Make it so he can't escape and so that tehlu and his angels can imprison him again or cut him down.
Brought to you by 2am thoughts!

You think I'm playing at some game? You think iron will keep you safe? Hear my words, manling. Do not mistake me for my mask. You see light dappling on the water and forget the deep, cold dark beneath. Listen. You cannot hurt me. You cannot run or hide. In this I will not be defied.
I swear by all the salt in me: if you run counter to my desire, the remainder of your brief mortal span will be an orchestra of misery.
I swear by stone and oak and elm: I'll make a game of you. I'll follow you unseen and smother any spark of joy you find. You'll never know a woman's touch, a breath of rest, a moment's peace of mind.
And I swear by the night sky and the ever-moving moon: if you lead my master to despair, I will slit you open and splash around like a child in a muddy puddle. I'll string a fiddle with your guts and make you play it while I dance. You are an educated man. You know there are no such things as demons. There is only my kind. You are not wise enough to fear me as I should be feared. You do not know the first note of the music that moves me.
-Patrick Rothfuss, The Wise Man's Fear

Kvothe making himself out to be a Master of the Sex is so funny to me because of course, of course he would do that. He has been given the chance to put down his memoirs, and make sure it's exactly how he wants. Do you really think he's going to say, "yeah my first time was really awkward, kinda weird......fairy sex" and all that.
He's telling the truth of his life, but he's the one telling it, and Kvothe, is an unreliable narrator. He might be honest in everything else (its unsure really, given we haven't got to the end of the story yet) but you know he's not gonna have it be put down that he was bad or unknowledgeable at sex. C'mon.
