I'm playing the Azim Steppe quests in New Game+, and I got the following dialogue upon meeting Temulun Khatun of the Mol:
Temulun: You, wait. I would have words.
Temulun: A singular radiance. Shimmering. Like a jewel of the Dusk Mother, blinding in its brilliance.
Temulun: Stars flicker and flock to you. Before such gathered light, even the secrets of the gods may be laid bare.
Temulun: Some are fated to rise in grace and glory. Others to falter and fade, though not from memory. Both will be your strength and salvation come the end.
Temulun: Cherish the stars and the light they bring you in the dark. For you are a traveler, are you not?
Now compare this to:
Hythlodaeus: Among all the offices, the Fourteenth was most unusual. For while the rest sat in Amaurot, its holder was charged with gaining an intimate knowledge of the wider world.
Hythlodaeus: In the course of his duty, he traveled the length and breadth of every land, and befriended countless folk.
Hythlodaeus: He encountered troubles too, of course. Matters which he could simply have referred to the Convocation. But that was not his way.
Hythlodaeus: Nay, more often than not, he would call upon his comrades, and together resolve matters themselves.
Hythlodaeus: Such is the magick sealed within that crystal─the magick to summon the stars to your side.
Also:
Emet-Selch: Herein I commit the chronicle of the Traveler, Shepherd to the stars in the dark.
I have no idea what it means that Temulun seems able to glimpse our original unsundered soul, but it's an interesting detail.
