Hi boyos. I'm just writing down some stream-of-conciousness ideas in the
hopes it helps what's going on. If ye don't know what's going on, the
Ice Devils are at it again, and their latest gambit seems to be
attacking the Astral Nodes.

Here's the full Quatrain CMXCIII from the Verses of Mangora: When the
dreams of heaven converge within the skull, Cold fingers creep forth to
grasp the fleeting mantel. If the ancient fist breaks, time is bought
but woeful. The wounded sky weeps, forever a guttering candle.

Dreams and Skull, possible Syzgy?

Cold Fingers is obviously the Ice Devils!

Fleeting Mantel, of what?

Ancient fist--is this the "damn squid"? I hope it doesn't mean we need
to free THAT boyo again? Or are they trying to drain his power via the
nodes?

Wounded Sky weeps? Does it rain, snow?

Candle? Father Sun? Are they trying to blot him out? Kill him? Imprision
him?

It is very close to the 300th Anniversary of the Coming of Estarra, this
can't be coincidence.

Weather powers have been lost. I can't invoke Winter anymore. Not that I
really want to but it's a good point to note.

Ground is getting hot, has anybody checked the Undervault?

Gonna have to check the library again...
