Kibeth is the third of the Nine Bright Shiners. In The Beginning, Kibeth became part of the Charter, but some part of her remained in the Old Kingdom as the Disreputable Dog. As a bell, Kibeth is the Walker, which can make others go where the wielder wishes. The Disreputable Dog stood for herself at the binding of Orannis.

Bell Sound[]

Kibeth has several sounds, which can be tricky for the wielder. Rung properly (backwards, forwards, and then in a figure eight), the peals are all different from each other, but together make a little marching tune, a dancing song, a parade.[1]

Trivia[]

  • Kibeth is one of two Charter creators whose remnants are encountered (the other being Astarael).
  • Lirael finds herself automatically reaching for Kibeth whenever she needs a bell, because of her friendship with the Disreputable Dog.
  • Kibeth is the second-most-used instrument in the series, behind Saraneth (which often precedes it).
  • As the Disreputable Dog is female, it can be implied Kibeth was as well.
  • Kibeth is one of three bells Idrach forges in Death.
