I believe that ALASTAIR believes in ALASTAIR's goals. They don't tell us anything because they don't know anything beyond that. They're given their orders from another source.

[ there's still the whole thing with the mechanical room that leaves a sour taste in his mouth. not even his sorcery could break into bindings woven around that place. adding insult to injury, his hands had been painted red for a week (three days, but it felt like a week) for the attempt. ]

It's easy to paint an impossible bubble around the things that the divine don't want mortal hands to touch. It goes a few ways—elder gods and gods, resonance and gods, etcetera etcetera. Sometimes people just don't want you to know things, and they place some clever, convincing rhetoric to surround it. It's ontologically subjective, really, and when you try to turn something subjective into being objective, we run into a few problems.

You're beyond the fingers now, just dip your hand down to the wrist.
