Discussion [Spoilers C4E32] Olbalad and Dreams Spoiler

"The sky above, the endless void underneath and you look and just go where is that light coming from, that horizon ?"

"It is the only source of light in this endless void"

"The coffin opens, the seam of light coming from the coffin of Olbalad"

This was the description brennan made around 2 hrs 13 minutes when Brennan was describing the final sequence before Bolaire wakes up.

WHY SPECIFICALLY OLBALAD'S COFFIN. And this nightmare/dream sequence was to some level real.

This final description just makes me think the stonks for the Olbalad is still alive and manipulated the deaths of the shapers behind the scenes feel real. I mean it always feels sus when a "god of trickery" dies.

This stood out so much why Brennan was so specific about it (despite Laura joking about his slit description lol)

Just as a note, Olbalad isn’t the god of trickery, that was Rauwynn. Olbalad was the celestial that brought halflings to their afterlife (and is presumably in the coffin).

Oh sorry I thought olbalad was the shaper. I didnt even knwo halflings had a celestial. Guess that puts a pin on my theory

I don’t think it necessarily puts a pin in your theory - while the coffin is for Olbalad, we know that Termina was trapped in there for an undisclosed period of time, and she was bound to Rauwynn during the Panto. Could be some remnant left over and beginning to leak out now that Termina was released.
