Talking about the Gathering, there's the undead Chosen in Rodak. I wondered about it, because 1. he's in Rodak, not in Arclent and 2. the Lustlord sealed him instead of killing him. And now with his orcs using Shining Swords, maybe it's like the thief and the dragon, a hint for later.

How did he get to Rodak? Usually, the Chosen act more or less like puppets to whoever's voice they're hearing. So either he was created directly in Rodak, or he was ordered to go there. For what purpose?

Maybe he was a template. The Lustlord used him to create his orcs. It's wild speculation, but maybe the Lustlord's the one behind the Chosen phenomenon.

Or, more likely, he was the enemy of the one behind Chosen at some point. The Chosen appeared in Arclent only recently, maybe before that they appeared in Rodak. What's interesting is that, before the appearance of Chosen, Simon spent time exploring. Maybe he was linked to this (speculative) location change. Heck, maybe the Lustlord knows who is pulling the strings. But that's a long shot; as far as we know, there was only one Chosen in Rodak, not the whole hatchery.

This contradicts my theory about Hester being the hidden tower walker in Arclent, however. Because why would Hester care about Rodak? She can still be Alonon's asexual sister, tho. But the Chosen was still supposed to be the "Hand of the Goddess", so maybe, maybe. The motivation for sending someone to Rodak is pretty fuzzy anyway.
