I have vanquished the spiders (via disrupt cheese, not looking forward to having to redo that), and it's been a few days since the update: spoilers ahead if anyone hasn't played through yet.

Some observations about the patch:

Tertia lives! She seems pretty sick of living though. Note the buddhist iconography in her shrine (a big tiddy Earth Goddess exhorts you to escape the cycle of Saṃsāra, what do you do).

Tertia's dialogue gives us some additional support for the Old Tanurak position, which tangentially gives us support for the dunesurfing dragon bones conjecture.

And now we learn that there can be different kinds of gods. To use some stolen phrases, we have gods from blood (those who were mortal), gods from light (those who were not mortal), and gods from stone (pretty much just tertia, who might be as old as the world).

Speculation: It looks like the endgame of TLS is trying to immanatize the eschaton, so to speak. I think it's been fairly apparent since Wendis joined up that the next big bone to pick was going to be with the universe itself. I suppose, after all, this is the Last Sovereign, not The Good Sovereign.
