I am still thinking on it all but these words "El and Eda in a tangle" I am sure that Fitz used the saying, at least once, when in conversation with Fool. As the concept of serpents and dragons was/is still fully unknown to Fitz, could it be that it is a saying he has learnt from Six Duchies history, or his own memories as Changer/the foundation of the House of Farseer? Where would such a saying come from without some sort of foundation in RotE truth?

I never really thought about what 'tangle' meant in that saying!! Yes I think your theory that it relates to dragons/serpents is very plausible. Other people say it besides Fitz don't they? I think it is probably a phrase people have forgotten the origins of, much like many of our own sayings. So Fitz not knowing about dragons/serpents wouldn't matter.

Hmm, would it be a stretch then to assume that there is a possibility that Eda/El/Sa does exist but as a dragon-like divine being

Geees and won't the dragons laud it over the humans if they find out!!!!!!! Then again, you'd think they'd know if they have access to such long term memories (although this has been severely damaged), and if so there's NO WAY they wouldn't have mentioned it! Hehehe.

Could it also be (whatever form Eda/El/Sa takes) that Fitz and Dutiful actually have "touched" Eda/El/Sa during their experience on Others Island? .....what they actually experienced was the two facets of Sa within the Skill River?

I must admit this would kind of make sense. I can't recall all the details now of all times characters heard the 'divine voice' type thing in the Skill River, but I do remember sometimes it seemed to be a dragon and other times more like some sort of 'god'. Your theory that it could in fact all be a 'dragon like god' would explain a lot!!!!
Opens up a whole lot of other questions though doesn't it! Or am I being too arrogantly human to wonder why the heck "OUR" god is DRAGON like!!! They're not better than us! Hmph!
