His eyes roll, hearing Istredd say out loud something that he shouldn't have needed to impress on the man in the first place.
But that theory is not one he's heard proposed before. He frowns. He's aware there were the Summoned from decades (centuries?) back. Information learnt from a cellmate he's not seen since leaving Thorne. That something about the previous summoning process made Ambrose afraid of mistakes drawn through the Singularity.
The question is, do the other nations realize this? They had not started until after Thorne began.
And he does not like how Istredd has phrased the possibility. He narrows his eyes, sharp distrust cutting through.
"Even were it not horseshit, that'd be nothing to accomplish. It's a corruption." He sits back. "And there is no such thing as gods. Whatever power has infiltrated this plane, they must have slipped through from other spheres during past summonings."
Like the monsters through the monoliths, like Voleth Meir. He is not surprised some believe such entities to be gods. That doesn't make it real. There's a fucking talking raptor-like monster wandering about the Free Cities, and he has not forgotten the four-armed ogre. Beings the natives have not ever encountered. Given enough time and rumors and stories, he can see how all of that would be conflated.
