When author's say they'll wrap it up in two books is that like when contractors say two weeks??? Lol

That requires Langhorne to have been following the original Operation Ark mission plan all along. Events to date prove otherwise.

There isn't any path to electricity that does not involve eliminating the Proscriptions. That would automatically result in both education changes and overthrowing part of the Writ, but not necessarily all of it.

Do we know that Langhorne was the source of the 1000 year thing? I have some feeling that Schuler wasn't in total lockstep with Langhorne's ideas. And since it was in the message Schuler left for the Wylsynns it could be all his idea.

No, we have no evidence that Langhorne is behind the Angelic Return. We have no idea whether this Return was set up before or after the War of the Fallen.

A blueprint of the temple and a map of the temple grounds would sure be nice - a couple of images of operation Arc's fleet and Hamilcar would be great too - where have all the deviant artists gone to post their Safeholdian work?? Ships, dragons, hexamorphs, flags, battle scenes, 8 books in someone in our community must be working on something...

MWW when are we going to get a thorium reactor powered steam generator? For purely mechanical work of course.
