"the whiteface smells of her,' Maruman spat at the moon which had risen in the day sky, It was full. I wondered again why he hated the moon so much. It had something to do with the coming of the Great White I knew.' p25 Obernewtyn
"She liked to walk in the forest at night, and when the moon was full she would go out and glare up at it, Moonhater they called her. Sometimes she made the sign...to avert evil. "p934, TSK

There's a quote somewhere in Farseekers when Maruman connects the city under Tor (which we now know is called Newrome) with the moon, something like they must have built it to hide from the moon.
prehaps he means marisa seraphim? elspeth also mentions that its like a big yellow eye......Malini

Elspeth sometimes describes the moon as a big yellow eye that can pierce through her and read her, and Maruman fears and hates it.

Perhaps the moon is where BOT is - and it is connected to all of the INES computers - BUT, as it was not shut down - perhaps it has gone crazy and that is why Elf has to find the WMD's and destroy them, rather than let them rot (as she seems to be the only person who can FIND them, let alone use them...)

Wow, I love your theory connecting the moon and the Silent Vail, very clever. But what could Maruman mean when he says that the moon smeels of "Her"?
