Like a few others here, I'm among those who met the goddess Nalanni. And like others there are things I learned from having a conversation with her. First and foremost, I'd like to request some help in conveying a message she intended for her people.

She wanted them to know that she loves them, and that she knows they can go on without her.

At the time, I was struck with the thought that she'd considered her own passing a possibility. And now that I've seen mentions of slaying gods here, it seems she wasn't wrong. Maybe some of you know more than me, but I'm not convinced it's the only way. Having said that, I'm not blind to the reality that those are our orders, and that there are those who will follow them.

I'm more interested in helping the Nalawi. I gave my word that I would do whatever I could, and so... To those who are already making efforts to ensure the Nalawi are able to sustain themselves, whatever may come, I'd like to volunteer any help I can provide.

If anyone wants further information on the conversation I had with Nalanni, please let me know. I'm unsure how much would be redundant, since admittedly, I've picked up on recent developments here and there.

I suppose the answers may become clear soon enough... Or they may not. She seemed forthright when responding to questions, even the ones that didn't cast her in the best of lights, but I don't know if such inquiries would come when people are carrying out their directive.

[So they might never know the truth of some of these matters, left only to speculate and wonder]

It could be the case that her form changed, or that she dwelled in a volcano. A goddess being able to change form doesn't seem out of the question, bearing so much else in mind.

Correct.

Can you give me a brief account of what questions you asked, and what her answers were?

[ex_adept136]

Yes, I can do that.

I asked her why she was imprisoned, first. Her response was that she'd been imprisoned by someone who had suffered because of her. Afterward, the question of how long she'd been there. While she expressed that it wasn't long to a goddess, she felt quite a bit of ill had happened during that time.

When I asked if she was knew what was happening in the world, she claimed she could feel the greater events. I also asked who had imprisoned her, and her answer was Pomarr, through means provided by her sister goddess. Following that, I questioned if stopping Pomarr would be enough to free her, and she felt that was the case. Also, that her sister wouldn't intervene.

What else...? Ah, I asked if there was any further information she thought to be of use. Nalanni mentioned that Pomarr had gained a great deal of borrowed power, and that she doubted mortal force would be enough. She also doubted Pomarr could be reasoned with, as a result of her anger, when I asked about that.

After that, she asked if I could convey a message for her, the one I shared here.
