Vlad and Teldra both notice that the world they are trapped on is "unnaturally natural", giving the impression that it was built rather than formed on its own. Each of them observes that it makes them feel "just like Dzur Mountain". While the original purpose of Dzur Mountain is a mystery, we can at least dismiss the theory of it being a Terran starship, I think. > > > Hmm, a thought just occurred.

The "threads" that Vlad recovered during his communion with Spellbreaker were the threads of her personality. Teldra herself is gone. Vlad realized this once he realized what he was actually doing by grabbing the threads and wrapping them around his wrist. Whatever personality Godslayer has, it will be based on Lady Teldra's personality. Vlad might even think of it as "Lady Teldra". However, whatever it is, it's a copy of Lady Teldra. The essence that defined Teldra and that might have gone on to reincarnate as another person is gone. Essentially, Godslayer is Max Headroom to Teldra's Edison Carter.
