"The book he appears to be looking at when we're Summoned, yes. I thought it must be the Summoning spell, I've heard Free Cities and Solvunn have semi-similar experiences upon waking up. But none of us know how many details are in there." Istredd shakes his head. "I can't imagine he'd ever let one of us get close to that magic." There is no telling if they would use it themselves or send people back. Too risky for someone so tightly controlled. He can try anyway.
"Well ... again, assuming some gods could be former Summoned possibly. They would be newer gods, as they're only a few thousand years old in this continent's history, which would be past the typical creation myth of the originals, wouldn't it?"
Istredd is only guessing here. He is a scholar and he's read up on many things, but he does not have a natural affinity for religion. Kyle and Lucifer are far more aware of that sort of thing, so he is simply from a historian point of view. Where gods could have been normal people who lived long ago. There are plenty of names in his sphere's past that took on legendary status, but once upon a time were just people like anyone else.
"I definitely don't want your limbs falling off, so let's not test that theory." Unless it's an emergency and Kyle has no other option. But that would be up to him and no one else. "The doesn't have strong wards would be a key part. Thorne is locked up so tightly in that way." To be fair, Istredd has helped make some of those wards himself. The dungeon in particular, some of that is his work, and it's impossible to get past.
