Vem skapade däckdäcken i den falska Malasiska boken?

Okänd

Från Komplett Malazan Fallen bok :

"The Deck of Dragons. A kind of structure, imposed on power itself. Who created it? No-one knows. My belief – Tattersail’s belief – is that each card is a gate into a warren, and there were once many more cards than there are now. There may have been other Decks – there may well be other Decks . . .I said no-one knows who created the Deck of Dragons. Yet there is another entity equally mysterious, also a kind of structure, focused upon power itself. Think of the terminology used with the Deck of Dragons. Houses . . . Houses of Dark, of Light, of Life and Death . . .Think of the word “Finnest”. Its meaning, as the T’lan Imass know it, is “Hold of Ice”. Long ago, among the Elder races, a Hold was synonymous with a House in its meaning and common usage, and indeed, synonymous with Warren...Where resides a Jaghut’s wellspring of power?"

Så Silverfox tror åtminstone att ingen vet vem som skapade däcken. Självklart är själva däcket inget grundläggande, eftersom det finns ekvivalenta system som motsvarar äldre magi: dvs plattor och hållare. Med andra ord kom däcken inte före hållarna (tror jag). Jag är inte säker på att det finns något uttryckligt uttalande någon annanstans i serien av vem gjorde däcken.

Men jag tror att det kan finnas en aning om precis vad som sägs om däckens tillverkare.

Enligt den Crippled Gud i Memories of Ice :

"It was ever thus. You speak of the Deck as an entity, but its maker is dust, as we both know."

Tidigare av Warren of Tellann:

What then, is the Warren of Tellann that the T'lan Imass now use? Ah, that warren must have been born from the Ritual itself, a physical manifestation of their Vow of Immortality, perhaps. Aspected, not of life, nor even death. Aspected… of dust.

Det kan kanske vara en ledtråd som däckets tillverkare är, eller var, T'lan Imass eller Imass. Detta är dock ganska spekulativt.
