I'm re-reading House of Chains, and I was wondering, if I'm missing something here, and I remember that I was wondering about this when I first read it too...
When Bidithal talks with Heboric, and Heboric is having a monologue about a mage, he is distinctly saying that the former is a Rashan mage...and Bidithal reasserts this later in the book as well if I remember correctly...but when Heboric says that, he is saying that the cult didn't like the ascending of Ammanas and Cotillion, so it links Rashan with Meanas...
Same with when Lostara is having her recollection...here's a quote:
"You are nothing, child. Not a dancer. Your body is in service to Rashan, and Rashan is this realm's manifestation of Shadow, the drawing of darkness to light. When you dance, it is not you that is watched. It is the shadow your body paints. The shadow is the dancer, Lostara Yil. Not you."
So yeah...I'm a bit confused....now I know that as far as magical manifestation goes, Light, Dark and Shadow are linked closely, but there's still a clear distinction between these realms...
So...what am I missing? Can someone offer some good explanation? Or is it a typo/mistake? o.O
