Right so!  Firstly, the owner of the Upstairs.  I know he's /crazy/ old, and Amune can't sense him or read him at all.  She's not had much to do with him, but she does know him.  Dunno if she knows he's the owner, might just think he's some random dude, and probably doesn't connect him with the guy that finally managed to bring her back to sanity.

Coodaudu has been around for a while.  Might he have maybe run into the owner guy before?  I'm thinking owner is probably the sort for enchantments (such as on the Upstairs), and glamours/mind magic -- so changing people's perceptions of things, and how things are perceived.  Glamours, illusions, concealment, with a side of being able to touch their thoughts and /possibly/ dreams.  Actually, if he's fey he might just be a variant of dream-eater.  Dunno if Coodaudu would know the specifics, just that he's old, though.  And I think maybe owner guy knows who Coodaudu is, or at least a little something from one event in the past.  Might be interesting.  Probably only a passing meeting, but still.

More details on owner guy is that he's ancient.  Like, centuries if not millenia.  And he's sick of people fighting.  Maybe he did once, maybe he never did and now tries more actively to provide a sanctuary, I don't know.  He doesn't often get directly involved, certainly not in fights.  He'd be more a behind the scenes sort, if not someone who just gives gentle nudges in the right direction instead of trying to shape events.

Also.  I kinda want the Ring or someone with loose ties to the Ring to turn up and start causing trouble at some point.  The one base of operations was destroyed, but the chances of getting every last person from the organization isn't good.  Maybe this dude wants revenge.  Maybe he wants to complete the Ring's ultimate goals (which I should figure out in greater detail).  Maybe...Iunno.  I'd like to play with the idea.  ^.^

And...hm.  There was one other thing....Guh, I can't remember it right now.  Ah well, take a gander at these two for the moment.
