Feels a bit spoilery, towards the last half of the trailer.

I don't want to think about it too hard for fear of spoilering more, but does anyone else get this feeling?

I have the later picture of Golgotterath as my desktop at work and I am wondering, is the city and the cairns, or whatever, told to us somewhere in the books?  Because it looks awesome, but I can't recall it.

I feel like the trailer lets on to some things for sure, but I won't talk about them if you really don't want to think about it too much, Wilshire. :)

The Golgotterath picture (well, all the pictures, really) is just me making shit up.  I've not received any direction or inside knowledge from the powers that be.  I'm sure it will be described completely differently in the book.

We have some disparate descriptions about the Ark somewhere. Akka's dream with Seswatha, maybe the glossary. They are around, but very vague.

I didn't make the topic to avoid the subject :P. Carry on.

The three portions that seemed spoilery to me were:
1) talking about the depravity of men, while cycling pictures of the gods
2) the light in Golgotterath goes on when the word 'Truth' is said
3) the baby crying with the Carapace in the whirlwind

1 seems like men created gods through belief, not the other way around, hence no origin myths
2 seems to imply that the Inchies are right, at least in some manner
3 could just be 'everyone can feel the presence of the No-God, dread, unsettling babies, etc.' It could be that Mimara's unborn may be linked to the NG somehow

I also think it implies that the truth that it speaks of is what Kellhus is seeking will likely destroy the world, or 'end all meaning'.
