(urth) The Trailer of Ink

[Jeff Wilson]

In URTH, Chapter XXXIX, "The Claw Of The Conciliator Again", Sev gives 
the new thorn to Typhon's guardsmen, establishing  a one-off timeloop 
for it to come into his younger self's possession a thousand years later.

However, he also says, "Whence comes this unslakable thirst to leave 
behind me a wandering trail of ink, I cannot say" when contemplating a 
further volume of memoirs. This may be another timeloop setup, as in 
SHADOW VI,

"'Of the trail of ink there is no end,'" Master Ultan told me. "Or so a 
wise man said. He lived long ago—what would he say if he could see us 
now? '"

Could this be actual textev that at least one of the volumes, or a work 
that quotes a found volume of Sev's manuscript, has come to rest in 
Ultan's library?
