Sparse ancient and later commentary may preserve contradictory interpretations of Mauris. Such interpretations demonstrate transmission, not authoritative truth.
Status: WORKING
Outsider Compassion — Literary Influences
Developmental influence from Salo in The Sirens of Titan and Shelley’s Creature: moral significance can belong to beings whose value is misunderstood, abandoned, or reduced to function.
Danu Purity Doctrine and Gender-Fixing Regime
Older material proposed that Danu turns biological and social control into state policy. The general authoritarian function is useful; the specific purity and gender-fixing program is not yet canon.
Danu Iron Garden
The Iron Garden is a strong working visual metaphor for Danu: beauty made permanent, ordered, and unable to surprise its keeper.
Danu Prophecy — Power Reading
Older Danu material repeatedly uses a prophecy she interprets as sanction for power and later discovers she has misread. The mechanism is useful, but the exact prophecy and its climax role remain unsettled.
