Don replies:

I highly doubt the cover art was approved by Wolfe.   The cover for 
RttW (besides being hideous) is the result of a misreading of the 
passage where Silkhorn is picked up by the godling.  It describes the 
godling's thumb as looking like a head with a curved hat (thumbnail).  
So I  wouldn't look to the cover art for any insight.
