Help
Setting aside "the timeline is not important" issues, do we have it mentioned anywhere approx. when Burn went to sleep? My understanding of it was that it was thousands and thousands of years back, pre-Tellan ritual.
If so, then Olar Ethil being Burn is a completely incoherent concept, as Burn continues to exist as a separate entity despite being stripped from Ethil (and exactly how that would happen, not a clue). Unless there's some major split-personality business going on, then I'm convinced Ethil was just lying. Which fits with her general manipulative personality.
been confused about this since book 1

Burn may be a role, not necessarily just an individual, or even a name. It's not like we haven't seen evidence of that sort of thing elsewhere.

I'm not sure what either you or Toby are doing out of the Inn - get back in there this minute! 
Burns sleep was 1154 years ago as at the prologue to GotM.
