The fire-bride's dissension: / Dismissed by green-adorned.
> King Aodhan (who wears green) is largely ignoring his fiance Lya's involvement in the conspiracy in the aim of making sure the peace talks go well. After all, just because she's into something sketchy doesn't mean all of Danor is..
Two more questions since we're on the topic of mystical divinations:
1) Why does Nevard's vision refer to Luc as "a trumpeter"? I don't get the connection/symbolism.
2) In chapter 5, Ekossigan's poem is a bit vague, correct me if I wander astray in my interpretation:
When spring returns to winter,
The cauldron births a spark.
The steel betrays the vintner,
The silver spuns the arc.
> No idea on this one. Best guess is it's a clever turn of phrase for "things don't go as planned," a reference to the silver arc of Reida. Unclear if this would be a common euphemism in Risur/Lanjyr, or if Ekossigan made it up off the top of his head.
The fire-bride's dissension: / Dismissed by green-adorned.
The wheel-woven dead man / Shall wake the cauldron-born.
It's the sliver spurns the arc
