Mission? How strange...

The other domain is a tall, stone monolith. He explained that these monoliths are scars on the land from some cataclysmic event. The owner didn't say it's connected to any gods from his world, but some people there do consider them holy.

I didn't find any damage to my own domain after it was all over. But the earthquakes gave the sense of something... beneath the surface.

[aquaveiled]

Strange, yes. Considering everything that's happened once they appeared, I can't imagine their mission is something wholesome.

Beneath the surface?

I wonder...when everything began going haywire here, the Horizon was also going awry. Could these heralds really have power in that place too?

But I thought only the Summoned could?

[ushiri]

Do we know for sure that it's always only been Summoned able to affect in Horizon? From what I've been told natives aren't able to make the same connection but

Is it possible that these heralds were not originally native to Abraxas?

[aquaveiled]

That's what we're led to believe, but...

I guess I just assumed. But you're right, I never thought to ask. I'm not sure if the mages would say much otherwise since they weren't very keen in discussing them in the first place.

If we can come from any star at any time, then why can't other beings? Mayhaps they were incidentally summoned...

[ The Rifter is always born in Nayeshi. They only come into their god-power when they are brought through the Gate to Basawar.

It's a sacrilegious thought that sticks like a splinter in his palm. ]

I was really hoping that it was just Thorne keeping us in the dark.

Weren't there others that were summoned long before us? That's what the history texts here say, if little else.

[aquaveiled]

From what it sounds like, yes. Though I don't know how long before. It seems like it was only recently that summoning began again, especially outside of Throne.

There are just a few of us left from that first bout.

[ushiri]

I've heard things were more difficult for you all back then. I'm sorry.

[aquaveiled]

It's okay. It's just a little strange to think how much time has passed then. And we still have so many of the same unanswered questions.

Though your Domain...I would like to see it sometime.

[ushiri]

Give me a heads up when you have time to come by. It's a tall, circular building between two large statues, next to the gas station.

[aquaveiled]

I shall! And while I've seen my fair share of statues, I'm not sure why you would be stationing gas, so I'd like to see that as well.

[ushiri]

It's a convenient shop that sells fuel for vehicles, but also many little treats, like candies and sugar drinks.

You will have to try the nachos and cheese. It tastes nothing like actual cheese, but it's delicious.
