I just finished rereading the end of chapter 14 and noticed something I missed the first time through: The reason the Mistwraith was “crafted”.
It’s not stated explicitly, but I get the impression that the technology developed by Kincaid’s team may have been misused as the great weapon which became known in third age Athera as the Mistwraith. When Traithe went to close South Gate, did he recognize the technology and consider that was the only way to stop it from suffocating Athera? (At that time Sethvir didn’t have the earthlink to evaluate it from afar.) Was the F7’s knowledge of how to fight it with Light and Shadow gleaned from their experience developing the tech?
Now I have another reason to look forward to a possible short story involving Sethvir’s scar.
The release of SotM is not the end of anticipation!
