Hello!!!! I am a huge fan of your books and just have a few questions. How did so much of the knowledge that brin surely would have written down get messed up in riyira? Are the gods even the gods? If not what powers do they have, because ferrols law is real. Does the door lead to the afterlife or alysin? How does mawndule learn how to create things without sacrifice? Do any other art users know how to do this and why
