Chapter 11

Other information and speculations

| A human named Haphellna has told of a goddess known as Amaranthe -
this shapeshifter postulates that Amaranthe is going into the plane of the
spirit and acquiring the souls of those she favors and returning them to
Thera. She then goes on to claim that the Ccul'Gra are calling for her to
bring the cycle to its end and go beyond "The altar of the Moon" (Perhaps
this is what the Captain refers to?)

Analyzation:
| Amaranthe - A goddess of the cycle, it is in her interest to see the
cycle continued. Though I do not understand why should would wish to pluck
the souls from the ether and return them. Perhaps she either lies and does
not actually hold true to nature but is creating it by forcing these souls to
return here instead of traveling across the prime plane (potentially why not
only was my world less populous, but also why there are so few if any
documented events of extra-planar travelers like myself)

| The souls returning - What motivation is there? Do these souls
somehow impart something to Thera? Perhaps to Amaranthe herself... this may
be a large key in the puzzle.

| The Ccul'Gra calling for an end of the cycle What would
Amaranthes cycle have to do with the Ccul'Gra? That would be the second
indication of the Ccul'Gra's true desire perhaps?

| The Altar of the Moon - Haphellna stated that she had heard the call
of the Raven (Apparently a creature said to travel into the spirital plane
and guides them to their next destination in the cycle) whom she equates with
the Ccul'Gra, and that no mortal has gone beyond that Altar. Why would the
spirits be traveling to then what is assumed to be the planes of the Shadow?

| Neltouda spoke of traveling to the moon, initially I was uncertain
what she referred to, had she traveled to the moon in this boat? Transported
herself there magically? No.. infact she traveled to the moon the same as any
mortal, with the failing of her mortal shell.
| Her own writings mention that she was returned by the spirit of
nature itself (Amaranthe?) and Neltouda has mentioned that the one known as
Zurcon played some part in this return.

It is clear to me that these things all tie together but how?
