It's been a while since I've visited this thread and am not sure why, given it's one of my favourites! 
Others' Island appears to have remained totally unaffected by the cataclysm which has displaced and changed so much within the realm. It appears to be unaffected in all ways, not just the geographical aspects. While I have spoken about the memory stone sand, glamour and magic etc of the island, and the role of the Others, in the past, I'm not sure if I've ever posed this question here...
What say you regarding the magic of the Others that the island is shrouded in? Is the magic to protect the Elderling culture/artifacts etc, to protect the Others and the artifacts to ensure continuance of the serpent/dragon/Elderling cycle or to protect the Others who may have had a role in the realm's downfall, or something else? What is the shroud of magic for and who placed it there? Looking forward to your theories!
