The new character dumps a shitload of new information to us. The first thing struck me is the age the world is. It is really much more of anything I was thinking.

She mostly confirms the shards being a component of the world and the inability of destroying them forever (Ginasta your shortsighted fool) and the fact if the power will be left to do nothing for too much time it can generate an entity with the willingness to use or that power. Simon suggests a "pure" IK can appear, but I am unconvinced, after all Riala say the soul/dark shards can create life, but uninterested in keeping them healthy, so a pure IK will be a horrible construct.

Another interesting piece of information is about Ivala's captivity. we know someone captured her, both Mithyn and Tanurak say that, but the new friend say she is "untouched" by mortal for the most part of this age. so probably only her power is captured and used, this give more weight to the church of Ivala trap some sort of aspect of her and use it for the wall or the crystal. I still think Hester had nothing to do with this. But we cannot be sure of anything at this point. the Anak can be the one behind her imprisonment, he is actually immortal, and this can be the loophole of that phrase. (but I still think Zelica is in Anak hand, not Ivala)

Now we know the "destiny" system is in place for a long a time, but it is "unchanged" for most of the world exists. This mean someone made a permanent change in the system, so Varia wish can be fulfill, But another scrap of information is the system was built by someone, in very ancient time, if someone can build a thing, some others can destroy it.

I don't know how much is solid, but I am starting to think the balance the Anak seeks isn't the modern political system, but prevent the end of this era/cycle, with only apathetic tower walker, hidden goddesses and petty or fool IKs nothing can go so wrong to shatter the actual status quo and open the window for something different coming. In this light his inexplicable choice to spare Tanurak is understandable, he is an architect of reality, but he lacks the sheer power to upend the reality (Tertia say), so he isn't a true danger for the cycle. Wendis however, can gain any amount of strength, with enough time and she can erase reality, or at least a big chunk of it. this doesn't explain why he killed the sage.

She spoke of millennia of Tanurak works, I don't think is a hyperbole, so the "No Face Meany" is really old, and Ulrissa is probably of the same age...

Drifting away from the 'new friend' I am a bit sad for the impossibility for Simon to impregnate Neranda. but her direction in Simon's harem is now assured, the dialogue about the women shop's skimpy lingerie is rather explicit in this. and this is good. I like her, a lot.

The last thought is about HQ library, a whole chapter is passed, but it remains mostly empty. I hope with the party travel free in the whole world (minus a couple of countries) will start collecting books, a lot of them.
