WF travel time

This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

In one of the AEs, (Aes??) -mantis- had a paragraph about the transit-time
of the WF-- I don't understand there being a question here.  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)
