I was really, really interested by the Isladar vs. Mystery hints too! Also Isladar thinking Mystery was nameless, but Evayne styling herself ANeamis--very interesting. I'm tempted to go with Evayne's knowledge on that front, but if Isladar doesn't even know Mystery's real name, that says a lot right there. And what is the game that Mystery has been playing? I mean, obviously I tend to think that the goal is to kill Allasakar, but there's been plenty of hints that other gods will get caught in the crossfire at the End.
I didn't notice the Terafin's guilt either; it was definitely played up in this book, and played down in HD. Partly because this book spent more time in Terafin, of course.
And yeah, Jester. I tend to think his being downplayed is intentional, but now I really want to reread the relevant bits of The Sun Sword to find out what he eventually got up to in the House.
