He's not sure why she wants to know so many details, but if he was in her shoes... he'd want to know, too.] I mean, if you're real interested, you could ask Isar. Guy's on the Council, and I know he's packin' some fucked up god magic in there somewhere. Probably has a contract with one, or it's possessed him. I never stopped to ask.
