We know that the WF was pre-made and already in route to Urth, even before Sev's trial (heck, the WF was already moving in Typhon's time, but not in Apu-Punchau's, b/c of Sev's link to its power). Don't we (I must admit, I have with me neither the books nor the Lexicon, so can't reference this) have a general knowledge of how far back Typhon was in comparison to Sev's reign, and can give an estimation of how long the WF has existed and travelled for? Related question: are the distances in the Brook Madregot logarithmic? Have we ever come up with further references to Madregot than the kabbalistic ones? (remember, I'm new to the list and haven't completely read the archives, so if it's there, tell me to go RTFM and I'll nicely shut up and go do some reading) ------------------------------------------------------------------ Jon Camfield "GriffJon" |Webmaster, Plan II Honors Program: GriffJon at mail.utexas.edu | www.dla.utexas.edu/~plan2 Homepage, Gallery, Resume: |Channel Manager, Undernet #Poetry ccwf.cc.utexas.edu/~griffjon | www.tripod.com/~ircpoetry ------------------------------------------------------------------ "The most incomprehensible fact about nature is that it is comprehensible" -- Albert Einstein ---
