I know we have two CoD threads in the forum so didn't know which to dump this in 
but...
...I recall a discussion about how or why it is that Sintara was able to bring Kelsingra to life where Tintaglia could not. For no apparent reason (!) it came to me just now that it was not for Sintara that Kelsingra awoke but Sintara *and* Thymara. Dragon and Elderling both.
Fitz was there, Verity before him. Tintaglia was there. Nothing of huge significance happened though Fitz did well recall much and it was he who was the one in the prophecy who would bring Kelsingra to life. During his visit there in AQ, he was not able to fully awaken it on his own. I believe, as I ever have, that he *will* play a significant role in the full restoration of the city and future of the realm but it was not until both Elderling and dragon entered side-by-side that the city 'awoke' as it did in CoD.
The city was awaiting the return of both, maybe such is evidence of a return of balance to the realm (?), and so it was not until Sintara and Thymara walked up the steps side-by-side that its wait was over.
Just thoughts with no justification whatsoever (How's that any different to any other comment you've ever made here, Farseer??
) but had to dump it in case I forgot. 
Now I have to run...
