It seems like we've been the catalyst for it happening more frequently. It doesn't sound like they got regular visitations from the gods before the Summoned started doing rituals or drawing attention from the Singularity.
[ Which would make sense for a god to pay attention to. If it's business as usual around their world, whatever, but as soon as something powerful shows up, living in their space, it should draw attention. If they are former Summoned, they have even more reason to show up and pay attention. ]
But I meant specifically, the Summoned in Solvunn should be more careful. Josselyn was set off in part because we were able to contact the gods, like the heralds, and she and the cult desired that.
[ So if they hadn't set off the heralds, if they hadn't done blood rituals and drawn attention, the cultists wouldn't have a reason to think that they could sneak in and steal a connection. Thorne had thought of that already, and he assumes the Free Cities have already done their version of it. But Solvunn? Unlikely from the main group, since they think the Summoned are blessed, and the cult slid in there instead, with the same purpose. ]
She and I had a long telepathic talk before she died, that's how I learned so much about their motivations, she was very open with me. No defenses.
[ And surprisingly with no force or torture required. They just talked. ]
