I really hope they don't "obliviate everything that has gone
before" with the Puzzle Canal. Or with anything for that matter. I
hope they simply Enlighten us.
For me, the Puzzle Canal is simply a representation of the Truth of
Illumination. It's got four corners. So does Glorantha.
Everything that enters the canal from Outside (Glorantha) is
attacked and rooted out. Everything (Chaos) that enters Glorantha
is attacked and rooted out. Chaos is at its root. The Fountain of
Chaos is at the root of Glorantha.
So of course seeing all four corners of the canal would lead to
enlightenment because ones perspective is changed by the inverse
nature of the canal. Suddenly, YOU are the chaos that everyone else
is trying to drive out of THEIR world.
If there's more to it than that, I see no reason why they just don't
say so.
