And from MW being the original, I suspect the Mother Winter fragment was what the Hecate personality kept for herself when dividing the mantles.

I don't know, I suspect Hecate herself to have been formed from our understanding of older primordials. I think Hecate was the formation they took when backing the Greek pantheon, and that's why it's so interconnected to the Mother/queen identity. Classically there is some confusion about if Gaia is a titan, pretitan, or just a Godling. I'm thinking pretitan, primordial being.
The exact composition is complicated, but I think it went something like MS=creator MW=destroyer and that third one would have represented life, or more accurately perhaps, fate. That which accures in-between. There are other parallels found between Gaia and Nemesis/Gaia's dark reflection(I don't know if you've ever played legend of Gaia for SNES, but that's pretty much the same composite. Or look for the RL theory on Nemesis sending extinction level events across the sector towards Gaia.. many parallels to be drawn on)

Con:
I would say that the Old Norse Pantheon were the previous guardians of the Outer Gates. Vadderungs/Odins Eye being passed on to the Gatekeeper, possibly the sameway Mother Winters Blackstaff was passed on to Ebenezar. Theirs also evidence within the Pantheon itself. Heimdall guards the realm of the Gods using something similar to a Way. I also think the Einnherjaars, half of all dead warriors original purpose was to Guard the Outer Gates the same way Winters Troops do now.

The_Sibelis:
This is pretty well known from details in the books.. but I'm not sure what this actually has to do with the conversation in this thread so far?
