	His cryptic statements were actually subtle allusions related to the recent local history of [[The Unlife]]. That he was a mystic suffering from dementia was an allusion to the fate of [[Zenon]], whose memory was wiped by the ruling mystic of [[Quellburn]]. "Silver mist" was the colloquial meaning of [[Quellbourne]], the local name for what is now the [[Darkstone Bay]] region, thus making his prophecy menacing. "'Ware the Bay!" is most likely an homage to Lord of the Rings, when Galadriel warns Legolas to "Beware of the Sea", because if lured by it his heart will never return to its true calling.

	"Terror rides the sea like the wind!" refers to [[The Iron Wind]], the original power behind a certain nameless society of his association, with the specific order that destroyed Quellburn having been the cult of the snow lion (hence the question about his cat.) The cult behind the society is more likely the one ~~based~~ on dragons, with his quote implying the [[Dragonlord]] Oran Jatar from Mur Fostisyr. They were [[Ditmar's Tale\|based]] on a large island to the north-west, across the Bay to roughly where [[Ruin Creek]] was put in the [[Elanthia\|modern history]]. The younger days was an intentionally odd statement, because [[Kelfour's Landing]] was supposed to have been recently built. Before that there was only the destruction of Quellburn by servants of the [[Unlife]], and the earlier destruction of Ugus Fost and the [[Shards\|Blue Forest]] by The Iron Wind.
