[You’ve hinted that there are deep and powerful secrets or whatever. Things that Granin and his fellow worm-enthusiasts don’t want to tell me. Is that a fair statement?]
[A serviceable summation,] the ka’armodo nods. [The followers of Yarrum are more… conservative when it comes to spreading certain truths. Those of my order are known to be more open.]
[Hence the name, I suppose.]
[Yes, the Red Truth, granted to the founder of my cult by the Demon God himself, thousands of years ago during the cataclysm.]
[So… all of the various cults are aware of this secret?]
[To some extent. As I said, some of the cults are more cautious, only sharing the knowledge with a few within the inner circle. It is possible your friend Granin does not even know what I am about to tell you.]
Ancient knowledge that Granin doesn’t possess? I suppose I never even considered the possibility that not all cultists are equally informed. Obviously, I’m going to have to run all of this back past the big rockhead the next time I see him, but for now I’m keen to get some answers, finally.
[Well, I suppose I have two main questions. First, why the heck the Ancients are so keen to get another member of the club. Second, who specifically is responsible for the Call. I want to take a bite out of them.]
The setsulah, Ammon’sil, doesn’t respond well to my casual threats against the Ancients.
[You had best show some res—]
