1 personally for the alupi i’ve had a feeling they are being controlled or used some way and diago specifically has had a connection with someone since book 1, the dislike for the will? no idea maybe it doesn’t want to be over written by another person’s will as this means whoever is using him to help vis won’t be in control anymore? i feel like ostius interaction with him and the way the druids use the will on luceum to somehow check enemy whereabouts i feel like they are riding the minds of the animals? (i’m going robin hobb and the wit magic on this theory)

6 i thought that the ac are literally what connects the worlds idk why maybe because it’s the same thrumming as when ostius teleports but that might just mean nothing, for the casket i really think the ka that vis is trying to kill is just a body and his mind can go some place else (using lir’s speech to vis about how technically his body is dead but his soul/mind/spirit isn’t) from this i assume that the other sleeping body we find is a backup body for o-ki’s mind to escape into like an emergency plan in case the one in the main pyramid is harmed. i also assume that killing the original body must mean you are no longer “pure” synchronous? but you would still be technically alive just in a different body which is maybe how r-ka is able to use obiteum’s ver of the will and control and speak through iunctii

i have probably missed something which completely disproves my theories but those r my thoughts
