Nice ideas, Farseer. What strikes me is how similar these ideas are to those of Buddhism, although from a Buddhist point of view, the self is illusory and losing attachments is, by definition, a euphoric state and something to strive towards. I wonder whether the entities of the Skill river (and perhaps also the stone dragons) might be seen as analogous to the Bodhisattvas of Buddhist mythology; beings who have postponed personal release in order to benefit others (or the World in general) through their wisdom. The philosophy of the Mountain Kingdom (in particular, the role of the Sacrifice) also seems to have Buddhist undertones.
