"I suppose we don't know for certain as the vision didn't have a signature, but I think it was." It could have been a god maybe, but it feels like the intensity of the vision reminded him more of the power of the Singularity. It also reminded him of the visions that happened in the Pit, that were forced on people, and experiences with the gods too. It's all intertwined but he doesn't know fully in what way yet.

"The Summoned who did that was ripping apart the fabric of reality. Which already happens every time they take one of us, so to do it on a level like that ... it was extremely reckless and dangerous. People should not be playing with things they don't understand."

And Istredd is not saying that as someone who does understand it. That's the point. None of them understand because this is not their sphere but also it's not what they're supposed to be doing. He is someone who thinks that the safest thing for this realm is to stop Summoning entirely, not that he can do anything about it. He thinks the factions also don't know what they're doing.

"I don't know if it cares, in terms of, it's not human so I don't know that it feels as we do. But this is its world, and it has been here possibly from the start of its creation. So it's at the least connected. In the history of the continent, the Singularity has always been here, as far back as I've found texts."
