Nice find... Could the closing of Iccy's wheel have anything to do with the "Seventh Closure" we heard so much about in MT? Or was that different?

I know in MT at some point its mentioned that the closure happened the day Rhulad took the throne... but Kettle's mention of closing reminded me of the Closure.


All right... contradicting myself now. -_- Found the relevant quote in MT...

Quote

As the rays of the sun lengthened to slant shafts through the haze of smoke, the bells began ringing.

Pronouncing the birth of the empire.

The end of the Seventh Closure.

But the scribes were in error. The Seventh Closure had yet to arrive.

Two more days.

Leaning against a wall with his arms crossed, near the old palace, the First Consort, Turudal Brizad, the god known as the Errant, looked skyward at the cloud of starlings as the bells sounded, low and tremulous.

‘Unpleasant birds,’ he said to himself, ‘starlings…’

Two more days.

A most tragic miscalculation, I fear.

Most tragic.


So at least the Errant believes the Closure didn't have anything to do with Iccy's machine.. then again he's a real #$&^ so we dunno :D

It seemed pretty clear the Seventh Closure was the onset of the Edur Empire - but everything that follows after could well be part of the mess, including Iccy's whatever-that-was, hence, closure, closing, close-call, Glenn Close, etc, etc.

- Abyss, what?
