What do people think about her involvement in everything to come? In the meeting of the EGs they talk about how Ardata was always adept at evading their notice. She's the Queen of Spiders, Mogora is her witch, she's involved in what happened to the Moon, she has an empire on Jacurucku, and has ties to Skinner, who is now the King in Chains. Could we be seeing some of her handiwork in TCG? It would seem odd to have all this build up with Skinner and Mogora for it not to amount to anything.

Unless she's destined for an ICE novel of course...

Ardata is surely up to something. Don't forget about Mappo. He's in her debt and likely to be called to repay said debt in tCG. I'm sure ST knows what she's up to; it's hardly a coincidence that Pust and Mogora are together.

I think she's a Esslemont project. I would be surprised if she becomes involved in TCG, but you never know.

If Skinner shows up I think she might be involved, but otherwise I doubt it.

Sigh, you may be right.

Ah well, at least we'll have Grizzin Farl for the finale :)

Actually, since I brought it up in another thread, I have a crazy theory that Ardata will be discovered by Hellian.

Think about it - ever since Hellian's upbringing on white paralt isle(or whatever the island was, I can't recall atm) she has been petrified of spiders. How many spiders has she ever actually encountered through the course of the novels? I can't think of any. I don't think it's in SE's nature to introduce such a vital part of Hellian's personality without eventually using it. I can't think of a more amusing end to Hellian's story arc than having Mogora grab her and then introduce her to the Spider Queen, hahaha!(make me laugh just thinking about Hellian's reaction. It would snap her sober right quick)

Oh, Ardata is her name? Was this revealed in Crimson Guard? I really need to read that one...

Nah, Ardata is mentioned a handful of times throughout SE's main arc, too - not just in RotCG. No worries.

Though you really SHOULD read RotCG. Very worth it.
