First, I love this part and also Dr. Science's notes on the possible structural parallels between the lunar and lightbringer systems:

Even though I don't think this is currently GAG I like it a lot. A way to structure the previous elemental ages and their mythic numerology: probably butchering your take on it here but maybe darkness was alone in search of an other, the triple corners of the earth pantheon craved a fourth to be their husband, the perfect right angles of the sky called out for a fifth to get things moving again and now the world is looking for something even newer.
Fun detail on how many lightbringers there were at the dawn. WBRM, possibly drawing on a now-mostly-lost Larnsting tradition, refers unequivocably to "the Six Dawngivers."
