"The deep blue of the world-river Uroboros in my dreams" (/SotT/, Ch. XXVI).  "Bits of the azure firmament of some hidden world waiting for Man" (Ch. XXXV).  Those were the first two references I found.  Are there others that suggest anything different?

And what is the purpose of these questions?

I'm changing my answer to Antonio's question.  Maybe Agia and Agilus do make their living from avern duels with unwary travelers.  There must be some reason we're told twice in /SotT/, Ch. XXV, that Agia's been at the Inn of Lost Loves before.
