SL - if I come up with the scratch to visit Russia, can I pay you to read this series with me? :)
I should've hooked up with the re-read, I missed so much of this story, I couldn't follow so much of this stuff.

No problem! Then we can ruminate together on how little we understand, and how everything can be entirely not what we take it for.

Yeah, but you sound so much smarter about what you may be wrong about - better than me, a primate staring at a calculator in wonder. Be careful, I'll take you up on that :)
That and you can help me transition to becoming a Russian - I don't like settling for the help, I want to report directly to the man himself :) - ( i.e. Trump, Putin )

But her gaze lolls away, across the intact Horn soaring upward, silken with sunlight.Slowly,gracefully, she draws the Shroud across it's gracile immensity, for she is- and always has been- a modest whore. The beautiful ones always are, you see. She looks down upon the three desperate souls, as tony beetles clicking across the temple floor. The little Mimara us screaming hands about her burning,cramping, shrieking womb.
Then you read on a couple of pages and get this "Now the shroud had engulfed the High-Horn,...."
Now if i'm correct why is Greater Mimara shrouding the horn?

Ah, got it, thank you!
I took this sequence as a poetic way to describe Mimara's slipping consciousness. She sees events, but she's under such a great amount of stress (not to mention Qirri) that it feels like she is causing them to happen. It's about her state of mind at that moment, not about some supernatural power she possesses.
Even then, in that state, she describes what's happening as "communing with the God of Gods". It's not that she causes things to happen, per se, it's that she imagines herself one with the entity that does.

Well she communes with God as God I think it is.
"The Greater Mimara communes with God as God"
Then literally next line is "Malowebi watched the shroud swallow the void that was light and deliver foetid darkness and gloom. The bottomless vista disappeared , leaving only their small platform stranded upon a vertical plane extending indefinitely in all directions.
The next change of scene also starts with the shroud as well, so it;s mentioned 3 times in a row. Once when "Greater Mimara" might move it. Once when Malowebi on the high horn is relived he can't see shit now and then When Akka is thinking not like this.

To clarify, what I mean is, Mimara sees the Shroud falling (the event happens), but imagines herself moving it instead of just normally assuming it to be a force of nature unconnected to her. Her consciousness is drifting, that's why it's so strangely written.
