Wandering the Sarangrave

Towards the end of chapter 10 the Lurker is decribed as suffering the presence of one who wanders lost bearing a token of power with no worth against havoc. Is this Longwrath wandering around the Sarangrave looking for Linden? Covenant cannot guess who this might be. If this is Longwrath, wouldn't Covenant have some sort of clue that this might be Longwrath? Or is somebody else wandering the Sarangrave with a token of power?

My hope is that it's a resurrected Lady Alif.
Her "token" is just what my "havok" needs.

I assumed it was Longwrath too but it seems odd to me that he got to the Sarangrave so fast.
I think Linden and TC, by this point, have only been gone from Andelain for a day or two I think.

I think the problem with the Joan theory is that by all accounts she's been at Foul's Creche (or rather, where it used to be) all along, tended by the skest. She wouldn't be wandering in the Sarangrave.

My thought was that this would be Longwrath. But, we know he has an ability to zero in on Linden from afar, so why would he be lost in the Sarangrave?

The use of the word "havoc" implies a connection to Haruchai and merewives. Esmer used that word often. Then again, Infelice spoke of havoc as well, when speaking of defeating the worm.

It's gotta be Sherrif Lytton.

I was thinking of a pair of heavy blued-steel .45s with sandlewood grips. They are very talismanic. Wink

I would say the odds are it's Longwrath. We often suspect Donaldson of being devious and then it turns out it was just what you thought it would be.
