Fractal jumped out of Rami’s hand and Blapy caught him.
“I thought you were expanding the Frigid district today,” Blapy said, glaring at Fractal.
Fractal clumsily pulled himself up Blapy’s arm, using one of her blonde pigtails like a rope, until he reached her shoulder. He immediately began jumping and Blapy quickly steadied him with a hand.
“Doubled. Doubled. Done.” Fractal said.
Blapy raised her eyebrows. “Yank my scales, I expected to nag you for another week about that. What will I do with all my free time now?”
“Frigid?” Ruwen asked. “As in the Frigid Sea?”
Blapy turned her glare to Ruwen. “Shameful you don’t know the bounds of your own dungeon.”
A pang of guilt filled Ruwen. “I know. Fractal and I already talked about it. I’m giving him my full attention after I take care of a few things.”
“Young Dungeon Cores are just like hatchlings,” Blapy said. “Ignoring them will negatively affect their development.”
“I understand. Fractal knows how important he is to me.”
“Then show it,” Blapy said, her voice serious.
Ruwen nodded, knowing Blapy had Fractal’s best interest in mind. “Frigid Sea?” He asked again.
Blapy smiled at Fractal. “Yep. We’re expanding north as well.”
Understanding arrived in a rush, and Ruwen looked at the two dead gods on the slab. Haffa had ruled over a large section of the Frigid Sea and Quintyn had controlled most of the north. The bodies of the gods had barely cooled and Blapy had already moved to take advantage of the situation. That didn’t surprise him as much as what that meant for the size of the Shattered Sun.
Ruwen wanted to ask how big the dungeon was, and he could probably find a map in his Dungeon Master interface, but he didn’t want to get distracted from his immediate problems.
“Speaking of those areas, I could use some advice.” Ruwen pointed at Nak. “Fractal just showed us Nak and it runs counter to what you told us about bodies needing souls.”
Blapy shrugged, and Fractal grabbed a pigtail to steady himself. “It’s a new discovery that I don’t understand, other than it appears souls are like parasites or poison and only death releases you from their grasp. Only the success of the God Stone has demonstrated another route. It is mind blowing, sure, but it doesn’t alter the reality we live in, which is for us, without a soul the body is nothing more than a sack of bones, fat, and muscle.”
“That brings me to my problem, and the answer to it partly relies on your answer to my request.”
Blapy narrowed her eyes and Cuddles appeared in her left hand. She brought the ugly stuffed centipede to her face and squished it into her cheek.
“What request,” Overlord asked. “I missed that.”
Ruwen turned to Overlord. “Yeah, you and Uruziel were out running around.”
Overlord blushed, suddenly looking very uncomfortable.
Ruwen continued. “You know how I tried getting back into Miranda’s Divine Realm and couldn’t. I want to take bars of terium there, Harvest them, and Refine a little into essence. The time difference coupled with the excess terium we’ve mined because of Bliz’s Crazors, would let me replenish my Spirit quickly.”
Uruziel nodded. “That’s why you need an answer, because if Miranda lets you back, you don’t need to Harvest these bodies.”
Blapy pointed Cuddles at Ruwen. “Do you know how much damage you caused to my Realm? Three times!”
Ruwen took a step away from the disgusting stuffed animal. “I’m sorry. The soul explosion I wasn’t awake for, and I’d had my wings for like twenty seconds when I sliced off half the mountain top. In fact, we should really blame Sift for that one.”
“What about the lightning? Archie’s seen it before and believes it’s the Universe itself.”
Ruwen froze, completely unprepared to talk about the Architect Role leveling up, and the entity in the Universe called the Sentinel that had sent lightning along with the upgrade.
Trust your friends, remember, Rami said over their link.
Your mom is not my friend.
Are you sure.
Well, she doesn’t act like a friend.
Everyone shows affection in different ways.
“I want to tell you about the lightning,” Ruwen said to Blapy, “and using the time differential of your Realm seems like a fair trade.”
“No deal. I’ll learn about that eventually anyway,” Blapy said. “If you want to trade, promise me you’ll help bring the prisoners back to the Black Pyramid when we find them. After fixing the prison itself of course.”
Fixing the prison made Ruwen think of Sift, as soul power was a critical component of the eight gates that made up the jail. “Is Sift okay?”
“Oh, now you ask about that dummy. Some friend you are.”
Ruwen did feel a little guilty for being so focused on his own issues. It was hard to keep track of all his problems.
Fractal jumped off Blapy’s shoulder and onto the stuffed centipede. Riding it like a horse.
“Sift and Shelly are alive but still in comas,” Blapy said softly, “Hamma is with them.”
Ruwen swallowed hard. Hamma had left for the Black Pyramid right after Xavier stabilized, and he’d assumed Sift was the reason. “Are they okay? Did they fix the explosion?”
The only reason Sift and Shelly had gone to the Black Pyramid in the first place was because Ruwen had suggested it. If they died, the guilt would crush him.
“They did, in fact, clean up the disaster you made, and I’m confident the worst is over.”
Relief filled Ruwen and he forced himself back to the things he could control. He’d planned to help with the prisoners anyway, as both Hamma and Lylan had seemed very motivated to help. He didn’t feel like agreeing to Blapy’s terms cost him anything.
“I agree to help with the prisoners,” Ruwen said. “But I can’t concentrate on that until things here have stabilized. Not only is Sift in a coma, but Lylan is missing, and I need to make changes to this country before unrest brews again. Not to mention everything else I’ve ignored like Fractal and New Eiru. And well,” he gestured at the two dead gods, “I might have invited the apocalypse over for dinner.”
“You really created a mess,” Blapy agreed.
Ruwen sighed. “I’m expecting an attack soon, and I’m guessing far more than six will come this time.” He realized he had no idea what faced him. “How many deities are there?”
“Most didn’t join Pen,” Blapy said with a shrug, “and their circumstances are unknown.”
That statement shocked Ruwen. He’d assumed all the deities had unified under Pen for the battle against the Darkness. He narrowed his question down. “I meant how many are near enough to attack me.”
“Near enough? Probably around forty.”
“Forty?” Ruwen asked in disbelief.
Blapy waved her free hand. “Only Pen’s disciples pose any danger to you,” she glanced at the two dead bodies, “and now, only ten are left.”
Ruwen also studied the bodies. “To be clear, I didn’t create this mess. They brought it to me.”
That made Ruwen think of the odd requests Blapy had made of Rami. It meant the fight with the gods provided Blapy an angle that benefited her, and he wondered if he could fish it out. The only reason she would care related to either Fractal, Rami, or the Pact, and while killing neighboring gods allowed Fractal to expand, ensuring Naktos escaped did nothing for Rami or Fractal.
Ruwen tilted his head in thought. “During the war for New Eiru I glimpsed what I now know are demons, trying to destroy the third temple. When I asked the temple about that later, they reviewed the Pact and informed me the Infernal Realm presence, coordinated with members of the Pact, clearly violated that agreement.”
Blapy narrowed her eyes at Ruwen.
Ruwen sighed and shrugged. “I didn’t have any proof, so I let the matter go. Today, though, we had six deities, hundreds of demons with their Infernal Lord, and over fifty thousand witnesses, so it surprised me when the Adjudicator didn’t arrive.”
Blapy turned her glare to Rami, who avoided her mother’s gaze and reached down for Fractal, acting as if the little Dungeon Keeper required her whole attention.
Ruwen continued. “It made me curious since I worried killing these Pact members might cause some sort of retribution on myself, even though I only acted in self-defense. Had the Adjudicator arrived, perhaps things might have gone differently.”
Blapy locked gazes with Ruwen but didn’t speak.
That silence confirmed for Ruwen something had happened, and he pushed on, preparing to defend himself physically if necessary. “In fact, if the Adjudicator were here, I would tell her I’m ignoring the Pact. We’ve been attacked twice, proving the Pact is worthless. I’ve already transitioned my three temples into a war footing, and the Temple Guardians patrol our borders. I’m going to strengthen my people and weaponize whatever I can to ensure our survival.”
Blapy still didn’t speak.
The lessons Ruwen learned playing bandball against Bliz surfaced and mixed with those from Savage Island. Miranda had obviously benefited in some way from what had happened here, and he decided to put all his cards on the table. “Sometimes the best defense is a good offense, and if any threats come to my attention, I will destroy them completely. Let me be even clearer. If I feel any danger, I won’t wait for a Pact member to act. I will take the battle to their Divine Realm, rip them from their seat of power, and destroy them in the Material Realm. If they are part of the Pact, or not, means nothing to me.”
Rami stared at Ruwen, her mouth open in shock.
Ruwen kept his eyes on Blapy but spoke to Rami over their link. Please start a list of Divine Realm gate runes.
Blapy gave a small nod. “If the Adjudicator were here, she would bristle at your tone, but understand, perhaps even sympathize, with your reasoning. She wouldn’t question your resolve for carnage and death, after all, the apocalypse has arrived. The most relevant question isn’t what you will do. I think it’s obvious,” she glanced at the two dead bodies, “that you’ve been pushed over a line. The question is, what if a deity arrives, not to fight, but to follow.”
Ruwen leaned back, as if dodging a blow from Blapy.
“Destroying is easy,” Blapy said in a serious tone. “Building is hard.”
Overlord mentally spoke to Ruwen. What she’s saying might be true, but it’s a distraction. If you had a point in poking her, stay focused on it.
Thank you, Ruwen responded. Please talk that scenario over with Uruziel and get her opinion. Deities wanting to join us never even occurred to me.
Ruwen regained his mental balance, confident that one of Miranda’s forms had obtained something from his battle. Not knowing how large the gain had been, though, forced him to bluff.
“My troubles greatly benefited you, and I would like a small favor in return,” Ruwen said.
Blapy smiled wryly. “What makes you think I profited from your plight.”
“Experience coupled with your nature.”
The smile turned into a grin; not a friendly one, but a predatory smile. “And your small favor?”
“Unlimited Void Bands.”
Blapy burst out laughing. “You consider that small? It would take the rest of the year to detail the issues you and that barkeeper caused me.” She held up a finger. “Just one of you literally almost destroyed my planet.”
Both Rami and Sivart had emphasized the importance of supplies in war. Not only basics, but weapons, building materials, and a thousand other things. They could use normal dimensional storage for most of that, but it concealed what he really wanted them for: immense damage.
Of course, many Classes could produce mass destruction, but none of them with the flexibility the Void Band provided. The massive variety of storable items, coupled with the capacity to propel those items, and the ability to control the trajectory made them perfect weapons of war.
Ruwen had revived all one hundred sixty-eight Workers with Void Bands from the Third Temple’s revival queue. Deepwell had thirty Void Bands including Bliz, Stone Harbor numbered forty-five, and including himself it totaled two hundred forty-four.
The fact Blapy had not outright said no, gave Ruwen hope. “Okay, a hundred-fold seems fair.”
“You really have lost your mind,” Blapy responded. “My storage is nearly full at the moment, but I might be able to manage five hundred total.”
Ruwen didn’t change his expression, but joy filled him. He’d been right. What had happened to put her in such a receptive mood?
“Twenty thousand,” Ruwen replied.
“This isn’t a negotiation, but I do recognize the Adjudicator, although desperately working to save her planet, inconvenienced you, so I’ll bump it to one thousand.”
“Ten thousand.”
Blapy pointed Cuddles at Ruwen like a sword. “Twenty-five hundred and if you ask for more, I’ll bury this entire country in centipedes.”
“Twenty-five hundred sounds perfect,” Ruwen said immediately, thrilled he’d increased his max total by ten times.
“It doesn’t matter. It’ll be centuries before you have enough Ascendants to wear those Bands.”
Ruwen nodded, keeping the smile off his face. He had a plan for that already. An idea, ironically, he’d gotten from Blapy herself.
Ruwen summarized their discussion, adding a few extras. “First, I’ll help with the gates and the prisoners, and you’ll allow me and Sift into your Divine Realm to Harvest terium we bring ourselves. Second, in an act of generosity, for the inconvenience we experienced due to the Adjudicator’s unfortunate, but unavoidable, absence, you will provide me with two-thousand two hundred fifty-six Void Bands immediately.”
“Why all the Bands immediately? A brief glance through your country leads me to believe you don’t even need five.”
Ruwen spoke the lie as naturally as he could. “I don’t want to bother you in the future. Do you want to meet me over two thousand more times?”
“Darkness take me, no,” Blapy said immediately. “Fine.”
Ruwen wanted to jump up and down but obviously didn’t. Blapy had also not remarked on the addition of Sift to the Harvesting plan. He mentally focused on Uruziel and spoke to her directly. Do you know how to separate the soul from these gods?
Yes, Uruziel replied.
Ruwen nodded at the two dead gods and spoke to Blapy. “Since I don’t need to Harvest them, I plan on letting Fractal experiment with the souls for your God Stone. When he’s done, we’ll release the souls and give them the Nak treatment. Do you see any danger with that?”
Blapy tapped her chin in thought before looking at Fractal who Rami still held. “Listen up. When you’re ready to start, call me. I’ll take you on a field trip. There is an immense amount of energy stored in those bodies and I don’t want to destroy the Shattered Sun.”
Fractal must have responded to Blapy directly because she sighed and spoke again. “Yes, we can look for pretty rocks while we’re there.”
Since a deity didn’t immediately lose their soul when they died in the Material Realm, it provided an incredibly rare opportunity for study. Which made it very very valuable. Ruwen cleared his throat.
“Do you ever stop?” Blapy asked Ruwen.
“Well, it just seems fair that since I’m giving you access to such a precious resource like two trapped souls in the Material Realm, you could do a couple of things for me.”
“I really hate this new you.”
Ruwen failed to keep the smile from his face this time. “Just learning from the best.”
“What now?”
“I just want Lylan’s current location until we find her.”
“Done.”
A yellow arrow appeared on my map pointing south.
Relief flooded Ruwen. He’d been worried the search for Lylan might take weeks or even months, but now they could move straight toward her. Now they only needed one more thing.
“My last request is a portal to Sift.”
An oval portal appeared behind the slab containing the two dead gods. Ruwen needed to learn how Blapy did that across such vast distances. Xavier had created a similar portal when they’d gone after Gunder in his underground hideout, but he’d explained the distances he could manage were limited. Ruwen needed to convince Xavier to teach him how it worked.
“Now?” Blapy asked, looking at Fractal. “Suddenly you’re in a hurry?”
In a blink, Blapy, Fractal, and the two semi-dead gods disappeared.
Overlord and Uruziel returned to Ruwen’s mind, and the Minions evaporated. Rami transitioned to her bookwyrm form and crawled behind his ear. It was time to check on Sift.
Ruwen strode toward the portal.

Even without an efficient conversion method, I'm assuming he still managed to stockpile a decent amount of terium as he expanded. That way, he'll have it available once he develops such a means. In the mean time, I guess Miranda is converting enough to fuel his expansion?
M
I think hes decided the Pact is broken and is going to provide a one time class change to his followers... Assuming he can make a deal with Blappy to keep his peoples storage working. Also food for thought, the Pact is what limited the number of champions that could be created as well....
Samuel Strode
Where will bliz keep his lava? Poisonous snakes and hot spiked jitter juice?!
Jake Schmitt
Perhaps, but the Pact is done, unless Miranda has a reason to keep just Uru's followers inventories or has a deal to keep them why would she? She has said it would take a the rest of the year to describe the problems that just Ruwen and Bliz caused, 😆 so I bet she doesn't want to keep those two if possible. It's not that I'm saying she is being underhanded, just clever so she might be able to make a deal or something with Ruwen or Uru in the future.
Asheron Wilder
It wasn't in HLP--it was in Chapter 56 of Book 8. There's a line where Hamma hands Ruwen a bag--he opens it further down in the same chapter, where it's mentioned that it's the Apocalypse Hoop. Ruwen later opened the inventory (which he can do now, since he is Divine) and provided a quick summary of the contents. It's all down below, if you are interested. Some of the contents were books, which are always interesting (I don't have to convince this audience, I'm sure). For what it is worth, I think HLP has content that enriches the reading experience for this series. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
Pannath
Oh, I didn't read Hamma's story. I'll read it eventually, but I don't like stories that split off and follow other characters perspectives when you're used to following one character. I was SUPER happy that the author made a separate story just for what Hamma was doing. I always say, that's the right way to do it. Hopefully Hamma will get around to telling Ruwen and giving it to him, considering he's looking for it... hopefully BEFORE he runs off to Miranda's Realm again for who knows how many years.
Asheron Wilder
Lalquinrial was unable to obtain Pen's ring. Archie's folks took it and gave it to Hamma before Lalquinrial's minions were able to requisition it.

I will respond to everyone soon. I love these conversations and I have already made changes based on the feedback I see in these comments. I will point them out when I respond so people know. I just wanted to make a quick point about Grave. All the Spirit in the Universe is in Pen's Divine Realm (The Third Secret). Grave is Pen's solidified Core. Just like Ruwen used the Architect Role and Spirit on Rainbow's End to alter that planet, I think its possible some of that terium was converted into things a planet needs. Spinning molten core for instance. BUT, the fact is you are all right. Fractal would have displaced a lot of terium and I will now address this. I already know why he cant use much of it...as he lacks an efficient way to sublimate it on a mass scale. Again, thank you everyone for all the discussion. It helps make the book better, and the enthusiasm gives me energy to write faster.
Pannath
98% was me being generous, it's probably closer to 99.9%. This is ALL the spirit from the entire Universe. I don't know how large Grave is, but it's a planet. So if we use earth as an example, even if the entire planet was Terium, except a 1 kilometer thick shell of rock and dirt, and water for the oceans, the number would be something like this. For example, the Diameter of Earth is 12 756.2 kilometers. That's a cross section at the middle if the world was a circle, but it's 3 dimensional sphere. So if you took 1 kilometer off the surface, the diameter would b e 12754.2 kilometers... just 2 kilometers less, 1 off each side essentially, since it's taking 1 from all across the surface. A planet is so MUCH more ridiculously large than you can comprehend. Even thousands of years of strip mining normal minerals wouldn't put a dent in a planet... and Terium from what we know isn't as easy to mine as other stuff. They realistically haven't made even a scratch.
Pannath
Lalquinrial has Pen's ring now.
Asheron Wilder
If I understand correctly, Grave should have originally been almost entirely terium since it was Pen's core (assuming he solidified it before dying). The 98% may be a bit much since so much has been harvested over the years, but it should still have a significant inventory (especially in Uru's lands, which are terium-rich). That said, several of the other deities were pretty keen to acquire Uru's mines, so maybe much of it has been consumed. Is Fractal power-limited in his expansion or focus-limited? I was under the impression it was mainly focus-limited, since he gets distracted by every shiny rock he encounters.
Jonathan Barnett
I assumed that any restrictions from Miranda were basically tied to the number of bands, and restrictions for mental acuity, Class, etc. were all determined by the deity (Uru, in this case). I don't really have a basis for that--it was just my interpretation. Also, given that Miranda did not inform Ruwen of the 36-hour clock, I think it's safe to say that Uru's followers will not be impacted by the change. She tends to drive a hard bargain, but I don't get the sense that she would try to trick Ruwen in that manner. If she bothered to notify Lalquinrial's cohorts of the change after what they did, I think it's fair to conclude she'd extend the same courtesy to Ruwen.
Jake Schmitt
Nick I agree with your first statement the bands are a force multiplier, but you are confusing me what do you mean that the Bands are unarmed focused and what are the 2 unarmed buffs you're talking about?
Samuel Strode
I can see that but base intelligence of 15 Restriction: Base (Level 1) Intelligence 15 or greater p 54 shade’s first rule
Nick Pincus
I kind of think the bands are a way to encourage people to become worker as banders are very high value. Also extremely power as they have a bit of everything from what we have seen, tho oddly are a bit unarmed focused. 2 unarmed buffs, at least 2 energy skills that work with unarmed attacks. At this point I would say a worker is like the second best at everything that the others are primary at.
Jake Schmitt
Yes! Exactly my point he might not know and Uru might not know that so Blappy giving him this "boon" or favor might not help much, because Blappy said the Pact was over.
Samuel Strode
She told that to the summoned gods not Ruwen so he doesn’t know
Jake Schmitt
It would make sense if Ruwen took those bands and removed at least some of the requirements to give to people in Uru's lands and maybe even limit how they work so they don't kill themselves while using it. Also Blappy said to the gods the Pact was dissolved and now she only has to store their followers things for the next 3 days then its gone. Does this apply to Ruwen's new bands as well?
Jake Schmitt
I have sent myself down a bit of a rabbit hole but would like someone else's opinion on this. In the log that Ruwen saw after he became Angel it shows his Aura Density and Purity were poor. Blappy says that the way some gods bring back their dead is by grabbing the soul and they lose some of the "energy"(I believe that she said Aura, not sure) around the soul, and eventually they can't revive anymore because their soul doesnt have enough Aura to stay in the body if I'm reading that right it means that there might be a way to strengthen the Aura around the soul and if that is true then they just need to learn how to manipulate Auras and they could revive their followers constantly and their soul should still be able to move on after their bodies have aged to their natural death to allow the soul to move on to wherever it needs to go. Also on another note I'm more interested in how exactly Pen was killed we can speculate all day my best bet is that the harvesting during the smear destroyed his soul hope it's brought up later how it happened now that we know Divine beings can recover from semi-death.
Jake Schmitt
Yeee! Grave is very rich in Terium I think 98% is a bit of an exaggeration tho, and we already know there are places of dense Terium in pockets on Grave because of the the book that Tremine betrayed Ruwen to get. As for Fractal's state he told Blappy that he was just finishing on level 130 something so that's where a good chunk of his power is invested. As for the Chakra I have an idea this is pure theory, but if you know what Chakra is in some Human cultures it's the energy of the soul and the body combined. Maybe there is a way to refine soul energy in the body and that can awaken the the eight Chakras that were listed in the log after Ruwen ascended to Angel.
Samuel Strode
Uru’s bands have a worker restriction as well…
Jonathan Barnett
I speculate that he is going to chat with the nearby cultivators to request their support, but I don't really have a basis for that notion. Maybe they'd be more willing to directly support him if he is openly "the scarecrow?" Or, he could open the bands up for use by non-Worker ascendants. Neat idea with the navigators, but the bands are soul-bound. I'm not sure how that would work on navigators, even if you cast them into a Fallen Hero form.
Samuel Strode
What is Ruwen going to do with 2500 band? Is he going to unleash all of his navigators to become generals in his war? Or a theory I would like but it would make things too easy make everyone have a second class changeable on death
Asheron Wilder
Oh, and he needs to figure out the stuff from Pen's ring. That sounded interesting.
Asheron Wilder
Excellent post. I agree with the logic in the first paragraph, but I'm trying to scrub it against why Fractal was so "starved" for Spirit in the beginning of the series, especially given his proximity to the mine. You'd think terium was especially rich in that area. I feel like I'm missing something. Maybe Grave used to be mostly terium, but the deities consumed a lot of it near the surface when (if?) they used their Creator roles to terraform it for their people? I dunno. Regarding the rest of the entry, I think you are also spot on. Ruwen's theoretical capabilities have massively exceeded his ability/knowledge of how to use them, so fingers crossed he just parks it in Miranda's realm for awhile. Regarding chakras, etc., I think a lot of that is beyond what the current set of deities pursued. It seems they focused exclusively or almost exclusively on the use of Spirit. Miranda alluded to this previously, if I recall correctly. To be honest, I don't understand enough about the Temple to speak intelligently on the different features and their meanings. Again, Miranda's realm will let Ruwen work through some of those questions and will also allow Rami to index and run queries. I'm glad he's headed back.
Pannath
To probably 98 percent of Grave is Terium. And Fractal is a dungeon on Grave. Such rapid expansion downwards and outwards should give him MASSIVE energy to work with. Has that been addressed? Also I hope Ruwen has learned his lesson bringing Sift with him to Miranda's Divine realm... Sift will inevitably get bored and want to leave. I hope and pray Ruwen doesn't limit his time based on Sift's impatience this time. They were originally supposed to be there 500 years, they were there around 100. Ruwen could have stabilized his foundations, and probably advanced further into Divine, learned to use Harmony more, instead of just the small amount he's used it. Further investigated the level 2 Architect Role. Also I just remembered to ask. The temple Pen found in the Darkness showed all the ways of advancement, and hints at what they were. Were Chakra's listed on the Temple at all? Because the first time I recall that being mentioned was the system messages. Also, perhaps Ruwen has access to the Quest system and other stuff. Miranda like everyone else is probably a level 1 Architect, yet she can make portals as Ruwen noticed, and knew exactly where Lylan was. The gods can move to sub dimensions, etc... Ruwen needs to sit down with Uruziel and get the run down on God capabilities. Then figure out the extra stuff he can do that they cannot, and there are likely quite a bit more things he can do besides just Harmony now that he has the level 2 Architect Role. I get the impression that the gods should be able to do all that stuff at will, and the Architect role is like hand holding until they learn to do it without the menu's. But I could be wrong.
Nick Pincus
And now I have everything. So many more questions but I love how this is starting.
Dustin Sago
Holy freaking cow information overload.
Shawn
I'm glad Ruwen has found this level of conviction. None of those gods deserve his mercy.
Joe Bou-Chedid
I’m so happy right now!
Jeremiah Halstead
So far I'm liking where this is going. Seems like we're going to have a lot more character in this one
Suzette Johnson
This is awesome!!!!

YAY!!!!!!!
