It's interesting the degree to which he and Ginasta have a similar philosophy.

The question is to what extent is he revealing his actual motives and to what extent is he trying to direct Simon & Co.'s energies down a channel that is to his benefit? Presumably he can't fake the impending assault from the Fucklord that Riala has confirmed, but getting Simon to counter it might not be strictly against his interests.

Another thought. To what extent do the known and unknown Tower walkers match up with the known or suspected deities? Presumably one of the two unknowns has to be Alonon, but does that mean the other one is the Mother? That would make the Tower walker in Zirantia Antiala, and that feels a bit wrong, and leaves no room for someone who is manipulating the Chosen.

What are the goddess if they aren't one of Xerces' 11? (Soon to be a major motion picture starring George Clooney and Brad Pitt.) They might be inhabitants of the Tower that may return to upset the world's balance, or they might be significant powers in the Tower. But what if Xerces left out the goddesses entirely? That's a significant enough omission that it throws his motives into doubt, if everything else he has said is true, then the omission of info on the goddesses means he's doing something he doesn't want us to know about with respect to them... Well, during the gathering he told to fehliel to devote himself to the study of theology. so yeah, he know a huge amount of stuff regarding the 'goddess', but he chooses to share nothing with simon. knowledge is power, and too much power can unbalance the world.

so a skirmish with the fucklord, we kill him? and sabitha will be the 'intelligent demon' liaison xestris talk about...

and the bit regarding esthera shard? (she bent her shard to be loyal to her)
