Gods do exist. [ Soren speaks with conviction — not one of a believer, but a witness. ] I wouldn't doubt they do here in Talam, too. In my experience, the myths and legends told by mortals are like mere reflections upon a lake, the image of the truth skewed and distorted by the ever-shifting surface of the living population. Unless we were to meet with these goddesses and hear their tales directly, we can only gather so much from songs and stories.

[ Still, he's certainly onto something here. ]

It's hard to imagine anything more powerful than the divine. However, there is a limit to even what the gods can do. Sometimes, they might even find it necessary to beseech mortals to champion their causes. Do you think the Sisters might have something to do with our... 'summoning'? [ to use his phrasing from an earlier conversation he'd overheard. ]
