Elain at the CoN

I started thinking about: “He’d never once in the two years he’d known her found Elain to be plain, but wearing black, no matter how much she claimed to be part of this court … It sucked the life from her.” And it occurred to me that the CoN is a wicked place. But what if there’s truly something wrong with it. Then I came across this quote about Hewn City. “It was the darkness of rotting things, of decay. The smother darkness that withered all life.” With Elain likely being connected to life it’s uncanny.
