An Almean supernova?

Questions or discussions about Almea or Verduria-- also the Incatena. Also good for postings in Almean languages.

An Almean supernova?

Post by Dudicon »

While reading through The Count of Years, I noticed this passage:
The Count of Years wrote:The greatest of the Spirits was Eca?as, then called the Bright. His star, Nōtuvoras, can no longer be seen, but it was then the brightest of all. Only the Day's Eye was brighter.
To me, this screams "supernova." Was it intended to?

I didn't think of it that way, but it's a good rationalistic explanation (much like my suggestion in one of the commentaries that one of the iliu-ktuvok wars looked like it might be nuclear).
