Chris: Great, even this guy thinks these things are indecipherable. Maybe we should just bring the riddle of Stratoniche's Tomb to some Hypperboreans. There must be some scholar in poetry up there.
tcm: the last charm (hairless altar) is about Aramin and i think it points to Psoikanthe (which is in the wilderness of the Rus aka Russia). we found it already. however, if this says what i think it says, then Drelzne is not Kukuth as we had originally thought.
are there four sisters?
Kukuth killed Aramin and then Drelzne killed Kukuth, and then a fourth sister (brother) killed Drelzne?
"Kin to your killer, your victim, your avenger."-- Kukuth is kin to her killer, which i suppose to be Drelzne (because of this line
[Aramin is] Avenged by her sister [Drelzne], risking the wrath of the Furies,
Fratricide avenged by fratricide.")
as well as kin to her victim, which i suppose to be Aramin (again, the line above). but she is also kin to her avenger. did another sister (or possibly the son, Heracles) kill Drelzne to avenge Kukuth? there is a fourth name associated with these three and that is Stratobia. we originally though Kukuth was another name for Drelzne and Stratobia was another name for Aramin, but what if these are all different people, and they were all Ikulu's daughters?
aside from that, Heracles is Ikulu's son (whom Baba Iaga told us to seek in order to find her daughter [but which one?]) and he is in the East. now, which East will be harder to pinpoint, but the Diadocomachia says he went "east beyond the borders of the empire," which means past Alexandrine India. this could mean a myriad of places including China, Japan, and even the New World, depending on how far exactly he sailed.
