That part of the ritual may be beyond their control entirely. Given a few more years here, I suppose we'll see whether or not they manage to refine it.

[As he understands it the summoning ritual isn't exactly a new thing, though Solvunn doesn't have the experience with it that other territories do. They may not even wish to exert the kind of control that he would, in their place. Leaving the selection of the summoned up to 'the will of the gods' seems just as in-character for them as handpicking fellow worshippers.]

You may be asking to hear from me more often than you realize. Their requests always feel pointed to some end, even if it's not always entirely clear what that is. Regardless, if they seem to be forming an army or looking to summon an old god, sure. I'll let you know.

If the Free Cities ever happens to point its aggression at Solvunn rather than Thorne, I'd appreciate a similar warning.
