Quote:"... darkly-aspected that tether-thing was"? I'm assuming this is a reference to something described earlier in the piece, but that still makes me wonder.I'm assuming Doug has picked up some terminology from Eimi's attempts to get him to play In Nomine... In that game, a Tether is a connection from the corporeal realm to a celestial realm. A darkly-aspected Tether would connect to an infernal celestial realm.
One example of a "darkly-aspected ... tether-thing" would be the Hellmouth...
