[@Lovejoy][@CollectorOfMyst] I mena, a scary guy is gonna generate legends that just plain aren't true, whether he can do the deed or not.  And if he has assistance going back, those people might remember a little.  I would imagine that there is still some chaos theory -- he doesn't know the full outcome if he changes anything at all, and people don't realize a lot of that has been changed -- but the knowledge that he did /something/ would remain with a couple people.  And perhaps the memory of what his goal was?

In other words, wibbly wobbly timey wimey.  ^.^;;

I really hope they're not dead, though.  And, I mean, since a number of our Culmination visions imply that /we/ die too, maybe they aren't?  *hoping*

...If not going to the Rising was an option, Ziotea might have tried to ditch too.  She and Rodion probably made an appearance, stayed for a little, and then left.
