queensthiefSo I was thinking randomly about the mystery of Ornon's sheep instead of sleeping right after reading a book that the Greek god Hermes is in and I had a eureka moment; the myth where Hermes steals apollo's sheep! Here's a link to the myth if interested: http://www.greek-gods-and-goddesses.com/greek-god-hermes.html

But wow. WOW. I wonder if this is saying something about Ornon/Apollo?

I feel rather...sheepish.

From KoA: "... her queen danced like a flame in the wind, and the mercurial king like the weight at the center of the earth."
Great find. Thanks for sharing!
