CLUES TO BREAK INTO DAVID'S BRAIN
THE STORY'S MAIN CHARACTER IS JORUM
Jorum was a wizard, according to the Oppalan Frontier's description. Archbishop Dilla speaks of "a powerful war priest, a wild sorcerer, and a gentle cleric which acted as a healer." I always assumed she spoke of Arbenos, Nivaria and Thelume, and that the main character, Jorum, was Tol. Arbenos is clearly the war priest, but I was wrong about the others.
Nivaria is the only female, yet Dilla speaks of a priest and a sorcerer, not a priestess, nor a sorceress. Only the title cleric is gender neutral. This clue is subtle, yet very clear. Thelume is said to be gentle and wise, but I believe here is an intentional attempt at deception by David... The gentle cleric of The Oppalan Frontier couldn't be Thelume. It was Nivaria.
Which leaves us with the "wild sorcerer". How could the gentle and wise Thelume be described as wild? The wild sorcerer must be Tol.
Therefore, Thelume is the wizard Jorum.

THE BLUE STAR
- The only temple the Tolassians built above ground was the Temple of the Blue Star.
- One of the symbols of The Three is a "blue flaming star"(Brother Ladan's Holy Symbol)
- In the Hall of Wisdom, the statue of Thelume appears to be holding some blue orb...
- Does the vision at the Hall of Wisdom describe the falling star that destroyed the kingdom of Galade as blue? I can't remember exactly... But maybe this "blue star" was the Ark of Lothasan?

BETRAYAL
- Brother Tarlus from Mount Orogg claimed the "vilest of The Three" got rid of the others. The last living god is Thelume...
- Duremas, a "madman and a heretic", never lost his divine powers, thought to be bestowed by The Three. This implies there might be something wrong with The Three...
- Brother De Frere from Icemist mentions a prophecy by Adamus, about a future in which the unity of The Three is broken. He admits fearing such a future. But Adamus is long dead. His prophecy might have already been fulfilled...
