Udinaas' thoughts on the Empty Hold (MT, p.31, UK Trade):

'The Hold that had existed, unseen, at the very beginning. The Empty Hold - heart of Letherii worship - that was at the very centre of the vast spiral of realms. Home to the Throne that knew no King, home to the Wanderer Knight, and to the Mistress who waited still, alone in her bed of dreams. To the Watcher, who witnessed all, and the Walker, who patrolled borders not even he could see. To the Saviour, whose outstretched hand was never grasped. And, finally, to the Betrayer, whose loving embrace destroyed all it touched.'

"'The Empty Hold has become...... very crowded indeed. 'Ware the brothers! Listen! Blood weaves a web that will trap the entire world! None shall escape, none shall find refuge!.'
'The Watchers stand in place as if made of stone! Their faces are masks of horror. THe Mistresses dance with thwarted desire.'
'The Wanderers have broken through the ice and cold darkness comes with its deadly embrace. The Walkers cannot halt in the growing torrent that pulls them ever onward. The Saviours -'
"What is she saying? Seren Pedac demanded. "She has made them all plural - the players within the Hold of the Empty Throne - this makes no sense -'
- face one another, and both are doomed, and in broken reflection so stand the Betrayers, and this is what lies before us, before us all.'
'Contestants to the Empty Throne, Blood and madness.....'
" (MT HB p 206)

"The Betrayer stands in the shadow of the Empty Throne.
That's why it's empty."
