An exerpt from "VOICES FROM THE PAST" with lots of questions


>the spirit
"They are coming."

Harlequin spun away, then rounded back on his antagonist. "It is too
soon! They cannot be coming!"

>the spirit
"You do not wish to understand. The humans play with things they do
not comprehend because no one teaches them."

Harlequin whirled back to face the figure. "And telling them would
stop them? I think not."

The figure shifted. "The humans have danced their little dance,
Har'lea'quinn. They shook this world, and the others. Now they pay the
price."

Harlequin grasped his head and shook it. "No...It is too SOON..."

"You will still be saying that when they tear the fingers from your
hands and blind you with them. Have you fallen so far, Har'lea'quinn? Have
you forgotten the horror?"

"I can't..."

"Nor can I." The figure stared at Harlequin. "I expected more
from
the last Knight of the Crying Spire."

vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv
Harlequin stared back at the figure. "The Northern Islands are GONE.
Forgotten dust of a forgotten world."

"As all shall be, Har'lea'quinn, as all shall be."

"WHAT WOULD YOU HAVE ME DO?" Harlequin cried.

"Destroy the bridge."

Harlequin blanched. "That cannot be done...How..."

"Thayla's Voice."

Harlequin sat abruptly. "NO..."

"You know where she roams. Her song will shatter the bridge and cast
them back from the chasm. It will take them time to find it again."



QUESTIONS and OBSERVATIONS
1. is the spirit akin to one of the passions mentioned in Earthdawn?

2. we know that the Meta-planes are also known as the Netherworlds
and the NetherWorlds are mentioned in Earthdawn

3. this has to do with Tir Nan Og Harlequin states

"" Harlequin stared back at the figure. "The Northern Islands are
GONE.
Forgotten dust of a forgotten world."

"As all shall be, Har'lea'quinn, as all shall be."
"""

In Tir Nan Og - the elves (who believe in Reincarnation) are said to have come
from the northern Ilse - which TNO mentions are the meta planes.

So in all this should hopefully bring up some discussion.
