Deep dives
The Gibbous Man's Chains
According to the poem, the chains broken and chains forged signify that the Gibbous Man was once chained to the material plane by Lillian in punishment. The act of breaking the chains may have led the Gibbous Man to kill Lillian in an attempt to free himself. This suggests that the Gibbous Man is vulnerable and can potentially be killed.
The Attack on Hibernia
The attack on Hibernia was politically motivated and driven by a power struggle between different factions of the elven court. The Ileannas, who were the oldest druids, were at odds with the nobles and the court members who wanted more power for themselves. It is revealed that Solara Vang-Kieran, Queen of the Sun Peaks, and other siblings of Dithaniel played a role in the betrayal of the Ileannas. Solana Vang-Kieran is said to still be alive and influential in the elven court.
Wizards Creating Life
There is no evidence of wizards creating life, but there are records suggesting that creating a golem has long been considered the holy grail of thaumaturgical research. It is a complex and highly sought-after feat in the magical world.
The Ileannas and their Connection to the Island
The Ileannas were the shepherds of the island's spiritual connection in Hibernian society. They were custodians of the island's connection to the spirit realm, and it is believed that they tended a great bear that slept beneath the island. The Ileannas also had a connection to the constellations and were associated with the bear constellation.
