Also, what broke the White Luck?  It seemed like it was Kelmomas's cry, but why would that do it?  Could it be because Yatwer can't see Samarmus in his mind?  Spitballing here.

I think it's one of two things (or more likely, a combination):

1. through some conceptual voodoo, constantly shadowing WLW in the hidden spaces of the palace, Kel found himself in the White Luck's blind spot.

2. Ajokli.

Have any of you guys checked out The Preacher? Just caught the pilot so far and hadnt watched the next one. Supernatural going-ons, and I have no clue who is supposed to be on the side of good or evil from the pilot. Pretty good, nonetheless.

Have you read the comics?  Preacher was one of those adaptations that was talked about for years but nobody believed it would ever get off the ground. I have a couple of friends who also love the comics, and we agree - against all expectations, it is somehow both good and staying true to the voice of the original.

If you thought the pilot was pretty good, I'm confident the second episode will lock you in for the rest. The real scope of the story probably won't pan out for another few episodes at least, but man am I excited.

I agree that the womb is a window/doorway between Earwa and the GoG.  And if she has the power to forgive, I wonder if she has the power to heal as well.

Crackpot - her forgiveness is absolute, like Kellhus scratching the parchment clean, and when Koringhus died he had no nourishment to feed the Outside.

It does leave a lot of open questions about the Cishaurim relationship with the Outside. I'm particularly thinking about how Ciphrang can grab onto their Water and pull their souls out of their bodies. What is the depth of their connection to their sorcery/thaumaturgy? Maybe the Solitary God is outside the normal, er, Outside scheme.

I was meaning the Dunyain getting the Chorae off her to use on Akka. It's not like he can't play a long game if needed to get it.

Oh I thought you meant he can't protect her with those on so they're still vulnerable.

I'd think that only happens if they subconsciously reveal what those chorae do. But I expect them to make it to the GO, so...plot armor.

Haha! If Akka taught another Dunyain the gnosis he'd deserve what he gets. 

I'm very much hoping once he gets over his initial terror he'll realize that so long as he has standing wards, he has nothing to fear from either of them, and in fact their continued existence is purely at his dispensation.
