How did Vadderrung miss the Fomor’s alliance with the Titan?
SerScot:
Information and knowledge is what he is… what he does… how did he miss something that huge?

4 things, I suspect:
1/ The fomor were doing the "underwater" (& likely "deep sea") thing, which gives a tremendous amount of inherent stealth; and, presumably, the fomor had some other non-trivial stealthy-powers themselves.
2/ Ethniu is an Odin-caliber being herself, and likely could offset most of Odin's "infosec" methods.
3/ I suspect they put it all together relativey fast, to have minimal time for people to screw-up and let things slip.
4/ Last but not (at all!) least, "Nemesis" has incredible stealth-powers, and the Outsider-assault simultaneous with Ethniu's ultimatum suggests the fomor may also have gotten some help on their "stay below the radar" efforts.

The details… sure… but complete tactical and strategic surprise? It’s very difficult to believe that old one eye had no idea the Fomor Peace Conference was a complete ruise. That’s what he would be looking for. That’s one of the things he originally sacrificed his eye to gain… access… to knowledge actively concealed.

I remember vaguely and have to go back and reread that Vadderung acted a bit detached, I don't think he expected to get sucked into it..

I just finished a re-read of Peace Talks. Vadderrung was surprised.
