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.

If the Singularity is the source of magic in this world, it makes sense. Magic is connected to every aspect of this world, it's in the air, in the ground, in the water. The surprise to me is that it is sentient. We have a magical source in my world that can be turned on and off and does change all magic in the area, so that's the same, but it's not aware or has a personality.

Is that so? Are you certain that it has no sentience, or could it be that it you were merely unaware of it?

[divinityfrompain]

Yeah, it is legit just a well that holds all of magic within it, but the people who control the power are real, the Old Gods. I figured the Singularity was more like the well than the gods, but I know better now.

You aren't the first to have to reassess long-held expectations here. Likely you won't be the last.

[divinityfrompain]

To be fair, it's not like we've been here a long time. Even the longest people are under three years. No one can understand everything that quickly.

[aquilus]

A fair point. That won't stop me from at least trying to learn everything possible during our time here.

[divinityfrompain]

Nor should you. The gods are an every day conversation here in Solvunn, but they don't really discuss the Singularity.

[aquilus]

Interesting. I wonder why the reticence.

[divinityfrompain]

Probably because they don't understand it. I hear each group feel differently about the Singularity. Solvunn's neutral and wants it to be left as is which is not a surprise. They love to be neutral.
