* ArmorPiercingQuestion: "When is a Guardian not a Guardian?" is a question posed by Mara Sov to her brother Uldren when the latter asks her why she let Taylor join her Guard. It's meant to be a riddle and an answer to his question. It takes him almost three years to find the answer: Mara allowed Taylor to join because while she was a Guardian, she has had zero interaction with the Last City, other Guardians, or the Speaker, meaning she's essentially a blank slate, much like how the Risen were before the Iron Lords and the Speaker came into power.

* TheExtremistWasRight: The Darkness ''really'' wants the Traveler to see what Taylor and the Queen Administrator has become, since he considers them proof that he was right about the final pattern and how the universes, full of complexity and "unfavourable rules" due to the Traveler's intervention, was ''still'' able to produce a being like Taylor and the Queen Administrator that can hold domain over all. The Darkness want to see the Traveler so that he can "laugh and laugh and laugh".
