Elderling Creations Theory (Spoilers through all the books and Dragon Haven)

[Farseer]

Love your ideas, Maulkin, particulalry the second theory.

I am still thinking on it all, throwing the path that winds through the forest on Others Island into the mix as well. Both times Kennit visits the island, it is well noted how there is nothing living near the path (I think it even gives a measurement of a metre or two when he visits it with Wintrow). His wizardwood charm talks about its magical effects and Fitz also noted (to both himself and then, later, Chade) a strange feeling he'd had about not desiring to go into the forest.

Will come back...
