Tanroa, the Goddess of Time. Though her name was invoked carelessly by many a mortal, true understanding of her was scarce. There were rumors; whispers of a cult dedicated to her that facilitated the flow of time. Yet, they were often little more than folklore and hearsay, for he could not quite a proper understanding of her ways.
If this man was speaking the truth, if he was not merely on a dreamsmoke trip when he experienced what he said, there was indeed a greater conspiracy at work. The ethaefal could not be surprised though; the divine and their complicated and messy politics often worked on the world of Mizahar, using mortals as pawns of their larger and grander game.
"If that is Xhyvas power... we have lost a powerful tool for harmony," Eridanus muttered. He had assumed such possibilities were Tanroa's domain, but apparently there was a real god that governed such a concept. That appealed to him, for he was constantly finding the pattern. Life was not random; it was a series of deterministic events. Cause and effect, and every person's actions contributed to a greater scheme. The divine were quite aware of this, granting their gnosis and assistance appropriately to steer certain paths in their way.
The possibility of gaining such knowledge tugged at the scholar, and he glanced at the man again, this time with a glint of curious hunger.
"What would you do then? What do you hope to achieve by invoking Xhyvas' name, to explain your experiences with a cluster of strangers?"
There was always a reason for something. Ionu might have led him here, or it might have been the city. The man mentioned Ionu holding a secret regarding Xhyvas, and here he was listening to the stranger's tale. Something strange was at work, and he was going to discover the truth.
NOTICE: I am currently mostly inactive til August. As such, guild activities are temporarily halted (watch out for major revamps, changes and organizations when I'm back in full force). Any activity with Eri will be rather slow as well, but I am slowly readjusting back to "Mizahar life", so to speak, so do PM me if we have a thread that I left hanging and we'll talk.
