I'd agree with you, other things being equal, but it would admit the contrary interpretation, if push came to shove. (Currently I suspect this _does_ refer to Lokarnos, but I admit it's mere suspiction.) Creating a particular stellar alignment may have been simply a step in a long sequence of events necessary to cause the Awakening Shudder.

Nevertheless, the two were later distinct, which is what I had in mind with my "interposed" comment. However, it now seems to me more like that Greg was using the term "God Learners" in a non-Sandy-approved sense, and meant the EWF was used to boot out the NDR, rather than as some sort of buffer state against the MSE, which is what I originally thought he was saying (though who knows, frankly).
Or at least, that the Kralori claim such. Maybe they claim both, as and when it suits them. ;-)

D'oh... "Missing" is still the operative word.
