No.

You’re with Chell, it seems; until I get there, wherever “there” is, please try to keep her safe? Her tone is...it’s scaring me in a similar way as Saya’s did after we learned she was wrong. I think that’ll mean more to her than you, but she can hear this, so that was partially to her.

Why did you throw yourself in? Where did you...Everdunes?! Borrowed from the stars?

I know I linked near-immediately after Chell, so your trust in my desire to help may be shaky, but why leap into the fissure, and not into Sa? What happened to you?

Oh okay great finally someone mentions someone who isn’t super terrible, FINALLY.

This is, to be fair, half accurate - she is his daughter-in-law and to put it lightly was involved in his affairs. I agree neither should be beheaded - not to speak for Him, but I suspect he'd be just fine never seeing her again.

I don’t particularly care what he wants since he apparently is pretty hosed up

What’s his deal anyway if he’s so far into hiding you can at least tell me that much

Learning about the art shook me. I realized that the descriptive books lock us into fates written by fallible people. They destroy worlds, and shackle inhabitants to sinking ships.

But the stars offer something different. Freedom, and by learning to travel the stars, we can unchain ourselves from these fates, and write our own stories.

I'm not entirely sure if "Steward of the Cartographer's Guild" could be considered "hiding," but perhaps you missed that particular press release. I take it from your tone that you've probably been talking to some of the more zealous opponents of his from our former Age, so it may behoove you to consider that you're getting a slanted image of who he is. I am happy to answer any and all of your questions, though it may be better suited to an in-person conversation.

Unfortunately I've already seen that some are unable to leave past grievances where they belong - I hope they are able to get past their blind hatreds soon enough. As to your second point - I can't really say. You were the one who opened this conversation by calling for the death of the second-in-command of a major guild!

What questions do you have about Dweller culture? It is refreshing to meet a stranger with any interest at all in our conquered people. I can answer any questions you'd like resolved.

I have a great many questions, but I also do not know where to start. As I stated, I'm mostly looking into matters of theology, so perhaps your creation story would be a place to start. Though, actually, hm. From what I understand, your people do not like to dwell on the past? In that case, it might be more prudent for me to ask how the divine intercedes in your life in the living now?

I think. I wasn't there, and I don't know.

Additionally: Keraf, if you show up, I'll try to keep you safe, at least long enough for everyone to talk. I, um, owe you for a...for a mistake I made.

Well, it seems like there is definitely a lot history around this Gehn! While I can certainly appreciate a search for justice, I would also recommend that people consider the wider political situation before pursuing the kinds of conflicts that would draw the attention and ire of our current occupiers.

Oh, I probably should be including my name with these things. I am Speaker Len, of the Shirnao.

I'm quite sure your form of address is part of your delightful pit fighter persona but I may as well offer for the benefit of any others listening, as Speaker Len has so helpfully done, that it is Kerath.

Anyway, no, I would not say "on the run," given that people on the run usually do not assume public positions of import. Excited to get off Riven, no doubt, as would you if you had lived there all your life. From personal experience, I cannot recommend.

Don't get me wrong, I would rather that we didn't have to deal with these particular realities, but it does not make them any less real. In the current environment, one's actions may have larger and wider consequences than intended, thus making it wiser to spend more time considering them.
