"The Ascended are a threat to the gods?" Jigano asked, seeking clarification. "Or... have the potential to become gods themselves?" He bit his lip, considering. "Then The Voice... she isn't one of the Old Gods? Nor of a kind with Ludo and the others? But she clearly seems to be a goddess in her own right. Is she... one of the first Ascended then?" A curious thought, but one the bard was not unacquainted with. His own Cassandalee was not without parallels to the Voice, if that was true.
"Ah... so you have missed some of what has passed recently, then." 'Recently' being, perhaps, a subjective term. "Do you know who or what causes the portals that brings outlanders to this world, 108?" A curious nomenclature, but who was he to judge the strangeness of a name?
