"People cannot ordinarily visit it in person. The Summoned are thrown into the Horizon the moment they get into the crater, so they can't physically get to it. The only time it is possible is during the Dimming in December when the Singularity's power appears to dim temporarily."
Istredd knows that for a fact being someone who did tat only a few months ago. He can't add that it may be dimmed but still extraordinarily powerful, considering it hurt the magic users deeply when they visited. However, he is not the only one or the only group that managed to get there.
"The first December after the Summoned came here, the three factions used them to try and steal caskets of energy from one another. During the winter solstice, it is possible to approach the Singularity, but it is a long journey and would need permission."
Thorne barely lets them go to Nott. It requires influence to get permission. She's new so she doesn't quite know yet how this all works, but she'll learn. Istredd doesn't want to lead her astray to thinking something is possible when it isn't. And the Singularity is dangerous. As for the last part, well.
"There are some people who the Singularity appears to favor or made a bond with. I don't know how many, but there are at least two. Jack Townsend unfortunately outed them not that long ago, so I suppose Rhy would not be surprised if people knew about his connection." Rhy being someone right here in the castle who she could talk to if she wanted. Otherwise he probably would have been hesitant to say anything. Jack sort of buried the lede on that one.
