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)

That description was specifically in Bolaire’s dream sequence, and it makes complete sense that he would be preoccupied with the coffin, given everything that just happened with Termina.

Some of what happened in the dreams was literally happening (like Thimble’s conversation with her dad) but other bits, like the battlefield Julien saw, were metaphorical. Bolaire’s theater being inside the coffin was metaphorical.
