Hidden DepthsTheme
The book consistently gestures toward what lies beneath or beyond the visible, whether the subterranean civilizations under the Spherve, the unnamed source of the cool blue light inside the crystal, or the resonance said to persist inside rubble where the Singing Stones once stood. What is concealed or only partially perceivable is treated as more consequential than what is openly seen.

The world is understood to extend far beyond what any surface reveals, through subterranean civilizations, the Deepmost Markets operating by their own logic in the dark, and the crystal's blue light belonging to no nameable source. Depth is not merely physical but epistemological, implying that what is known is always a fraction of what exists.
