More spoiler-ish Gunnerkrigg stuff below.

SpoilerYeah, after everyone was so cryptic about the Court's origins and the seed Bismuth, just finding it in a forest and having it explain everything seems way too easy. (It's possible that this is the reason why Ysengrin brought Annie here, but knowing Ysengrin, it was probably just because there'd be fighting and displays of power and she's gotta learn to be tough.)
And it'd make sense that few people know about the seed Bismuth because it's in some nasty old ruins that no one ever goes near, but so far, the explanation being offered seems totally harmless. There's no reason for people to be secretive about it, besides the fact that everyone in GC is written by Tom Siddell.
And speaking of which, considering how everything in GC raises more questions than it answers, I guess it's possible that Tom decided to just throw an easy answer at the readers so that he could use it to set up further plot stuff, but I just don't see that happening.
