Reading Excuses / Re: May 2 - LongTimeUnderdog - The Canticle and the Forge, Interlude 1

The return of Traxis, though without the prologue his return is actually the first time I’ve read about him. The shadowy realm of all the fortresses is an interesting one. It raises a lot of questions, just why are all the fortresses connected, what are the fortresses and what is the significance of names – I’ve got some ideas after what I read of the previous draft and it’ll be interesting to see where you go with this.
I don’t have much to remark concerning this chapter, it was short and piqued my interest, but its overall significance isn’t something I can judge yet. One thing that’s apparent, after reading the Jin chapters, is that Traxis’s purple magic effect is probably the same or connected to Jin’s. Being attacked by a woman going for his throat is another similarity with Jin.
Now I’m wondering if the blackness in the mist world is somehow the same or related to the hole in the Shroud. It makes the existence of the latter hole more threatening for the reader. In all a good chapter.
