Nope, you're correct as far as I know. Even *I* haven't tried looking down into the Crater, though, so what I'm confirming is the "normal Lunar story" about what goes on there. I have heard that the *inside* of the Crater is the *outside* of the Red Moon (in some space-wrenching way), and can readily imagine the confusion this would cause to any but the most red-blooded Lunar nobility.

All I know is that the troll mother goddess Kyger Litor dwells in stygian darkness in the nethermost recesses of each and every Castle of Lead. This may mean they're all the same place; it may mean (more likely IMHO) that they all share the same Underworldly basement. This would be "some sort of connection", true, but not an instantaneous one.

Carry on believing that, if it makes you happy (and stops you rebelling). The beautiful Red Goddess, Mistress of Time, Mistress of Chaos, Mistress of Mysteries, has enough tricks up her sleeve to heal the world even if she had one hand tied behind her back. Certainly, she's part of the New Order of Things: indeed, she is shaping it even as you read this.
