Name	Text
Kasigna	At the dawn of the Winter Solstice, two beings spoke. Both were dead, for only the dead knew what Kasigna planned.
Kasignel	She had not spent the Solstice idle. Yet when the day came, she simply stood in the lands of the dead, Kasignel, and talked a while. The only other person who could hear her, the only person truly welcome, was Drevish.

Cauwine	Even Cauwine was a supplicant to beg her mother’s favor. The other dead gods? If they had been so foolish as to come here in her ancient throne of power—
Kasigna	She, Kasigna, would eat them.
Drevish	That, too, was the way of her pantheon. Drevish’s voice was soft as he listened to Kasigna. He was working. If he could have sweat, then the ghost’s brow would be dripping. This entire place was…rippling.

[Architect]	Slowly, he was moving the very firmament of reality, adjusting the foundation of this place. Such tricks he had not dreamed of, even as the greatest [Architect] of his time. Yet Kasigna had taught him how it might be done. However, even she had been unable to effect changes so great.

Kasigna	In this place, Kasigna’s will trumped even Emerrhain’s tricks. On the Solstice, she could manipulate the fate of every ghost taken to her lands. Not every ghost. There were rules; some went to Hellste, or the other land Drevish had only heard of, Diotria.
Emerrhain	In this place, Kasigna’s will trumped even Emerrhain’s tricks. On the Solstice, she could manipulate the fate of every ghost taken to her lands. Not every ghost. There were rules; some went to Hellste, or the other land Drevish had only heard of, Diotria.

Kasigna	Kasigna detested both. This, he well understood. For she had—rules. She was telling him her story.
Drevish	She had not always won, of course. Her pantheon had lost a war of gods. And the winners had stripped her world of treasures like locusts descending upon a field. But there was a point to this story, Drevish thought.
Kasignel	They were waiting. Waiting in Kasignel as time ticked onwards.
Kasigna	He could tell it was flowing. Dawn was breaking, that eclipse rising in the living lands. Yet Kasigna just stood here, telling stories. And he realized—she was passing time.
Kasigna	Even gods waited. Two reasons had Kasigna: she spoke, letting her first new servant work. Firstly, because each second the Solstice continued, she gained in power.
Kasigna	If you could see her—if you could understand what she was—it might look like that. Yet the flower had not even been able to collect sunlight. To even get to this point, understand what Kasigna was:
Kasigna	A wasted body, what was unto gods, their skeletons and bones and muscles ruined and rotted. To replace her being, Kasigna had used souls like her very flesh. She was, then, a flower of mortal souls, which desperately consumed the light of the Solstice so that it might grow a true body at last.
Cauwine	Even Cauwine could not gather a tenth as much authority as Kasigna. The Goddess of Death had the advantage that she had a place.

Tamaroth	Waiting…to see if Tamaroth, Norechl, Laedonius Deviy—if he even lived—or Emerrhain managed to escape the traps that had snared them.
