It's interesting that Calyx pretty much tips us off where they are going. Assuming we can take him at his word, clearly he hopes we can thwart whoever of the Winterer's is pushing forth their plan on the 4th. So far all we know is Halmarut and one collaborating person (Calyx) from his home shard, makes sense the Au Ra with 1 eye watching the girl get dusted could be the one on/from the 4th. Strange to me that only the void (13th) had thin enough barriers to the Source for voidsent to come through. Also just how far gone that world is compared to say the 4th, or the 9th which seems like levin has basically taken over other than a few isolated communities barely surviving. I do wonder what's left to do in 5.56 for 2nd part of the MSQ. Other than just deciding to go now, and maybe (?) taking some with us if that's possible.
The general idea that without the gods, a sort of end all life calamity is inevitable if the status quo continues makes sense in a way. Not surprised the one Ascian left basically thinks any sort of heroics to save everyone on the shards, too, is foolhardy. Still, it doesn't seem like Halmarut and/or some of the Winterer's would be complete enemies to us and the idea of preserving life. At least insofar that our efforts don't interfere with whatever individual plans the Winterer's have. Calyx just being ok with us messing up his life's work comes off a little too easy. But clearly he's manipulating us to do what he wants on the 4th, seeing as how he feels our goals will align with his.
