So I'm assuming that the fragments from the initial eruption must have been the green comets that fell from the sky and almost hit Sister Spite's ship with cutter, mappo, etc aboard. So my first question is: was it just coincidence that the moon's initial eruption happened at the same time all these important people were in seven cities? And was it just coincidence that the moon exploded on the night Rake and Hood died? Or did the moon explode at that time because Dragnipur was unsheathed?
Also, what exactly happened when Hood released Heboric's soul and then the green hands came out and caught the comets? And what was the thing that arrived "from the depths of the blackness beyond" and struck the moon. A meteor? Another coincidence? and then what does this all have to do with the fallen/chained god? I know somehow the jade statues are his followers trapped in otataral. So does that mean the crippled god actually came from the moon?

And I know this is a lot of questions but I'm really confused about all this moon stuff. Thanks in advance for any help!
