TO ALL SUMMONED

Soooo this is weird and my first post on here hi.

Has anyone gone to the Singularity and tried to talk to it? Because I just did and I'm going to try to describe it but I'm not sure if this is relevant.

First of all oh boy does it have strong feelings! It threw a whole lot at me all at once, all negative, it's not having a good time.

I couldn't get like an exact thought or explanation, it was all emotions, but one thing that struck me is that it felt jealous and spiteful about something, but I have no idea what. The jealousy was clear but unspecific, so I don't know who to, or what about, I'm sorry. It's generally upset.

I don't think this is helpful because I couldn't convince it of anything or make it stop, but in case you were like 'hey is the Singularity going through something' the answer is 'yeah it's full of feels.'

I don't know if it would talk to everyone so I don't know that I'd advise it, but yeah. IDK.

But that is out of order according to the description you were given. Rather than predict, this is the direct cause. So far as any of us can tell.

I'm not sure. Perhaps it was a matter of trust. I just wish there had been time to talk properly. Given the circumstances though, I blame no one for emotions running high.

If any of the territories would know how to deal with killing or at least severely injuring a divinity, it'd be Solvunn.

True. But they also had much more free movement, whereas these latchkeys did not. I wonder if there is a binding involved.

Perhaps. Luna helped us last year without question when half of us were kidnapped. Expecting turnabout to be fair play is understandable. That said said, Solvunn and Luna share a common origin. There may be shades of that at play here too.

Maybe not unbound, but...reawakened. The latchkeys had not been used in centuries, so far as I understand the situation. By attempting to use them again, this particular Herald could have been jostled out of bed, so to speak, and the potential use was enough to reach out into the world more than they have in the past.

Cultural expectation and difference, I suspect. At any rate, this is the situation we're dealing with now.

I'd say that all sounds about right, so far as objects with connections to legends go. As for the large rock at the center of this, I can't say. I don't remember it reacting this strongly before, but it could be the level of personal insult it's experiencing right now. The power of the thing is still generally unexplored.

...I would not assume that the matter is resolved. If there is one thing that is a universal constant in my experience, it is that the nightworld loves dramatics.

All deities are assholes, are they not?

Rare, but not unheard of. I am a dhampir, so my perspective is also skewed.

Can't say I ever ran into him, but will reserve my judgement.

Well, the effort is appreciated. Any pantheon that a dhampir from 1470s Wallachia might know?

I'm familiarish then.

Well, so long as you're a step up from the ones making things difficult at the moment, I can't judge or say more.

The Free Cities really have nothing to do with the gods, so I'll take your word for it.

At any rate, thank you for surfacing at least a small fraction of information. It gives us an idea of what to expect.
