[A wide-eyed Elliott appears on video suddenly, hair tousled like he's been running his fingers through it a lot. His voice holds a note of urgency]

Guys.

I've been looking at my notes, and there's stuff about- about all this. Like I don't fully understand everything, but I just--

The stones are- the gods-

[He reaches back for something and reads off of it]

Even the altar. Like. They're all malachite?? Malachite is 'a gift from Nevedomost'. The priest's name is Neved?? 16 recesses. But there's only 8 stones listed.. Oh, he's- he's unbalanced.

Even- even the palace guard Uspor- Usporiadat? Zmat in the market. What kind of--

The King being sick or possessed after he went out there. Anthony could sense it- the deities battling in the hills?? Are there really?

[He glances around, possessed by a growing frenetic energy]

This is- I can't- I need to do.. something with all this.


Edit:

My notes. Add stuff if you want?

Elliott N. would like to share a document with you.

No!! I was just looking at-

We might be talking to gods whenever we go there!??

[A face like Anakin should completely understand why he's wigging out like he has downed 5 red bulls]

[darkforcerising]

Across the portals?

[Look, Anakin didn't read anything, he'll need to be spoon fed some information.]

[bearshermark]

Yes??

[Like what else would he be talking about with names like this do u even portal]

[darkforcerising]

[LOL - do you portal]

Okay, what makes you think they are gods?

[bearshermark]

[Oh my god he does not need this rn]

Okay, like. Just.. I can't debate that right now. For the sake of the argument, they are whatever that means. There's two sides of them, according to one of the books: balanced and unbalanced.

I think.. what we're seeing now with the possession stuff is a result of that imbalance. Only.. I don't know how to fix it. The gods should be able to you'd think, right? If that's what they are. But they're unbalanced, I think. That's the problem.

[darkforcerising]

Okay... What book says that?

[bearshermark]

Uh..

[Sec, note checking.]

'Ancient Deities of Krajina Bozstiev' from- from uh, the library, yeah.

[darkforcerising]

Huh [Anakin sounds kind of surprised. Like this is some novel idea.]

You went into the library?

...

What does the book say?

[bearshermark]

[Elliott meanwhile looks vaguely puzzled. Why would you not go into a library?]

Some stuff. About what the- you know what let me just convert these notes into something I can- instead of.. Hold on.

[bearshermark]

Here, this should work.

Elliott N. would like to share a document with you.

I left it open, so if there's other stuff you noticed, maybe..

[darkforcerising]

Okay. I guess this is better than actually going to the library.

But... uh, this is going to take me a while to read. I'll be back in like twenty minutes, maybe.

[bearshermark]

Okay.

Strongest case is in Neved I think.

[darkforcerising]

You think Neved is behind...

What do you think he's behind?

[bearshermark]

I think Neved is short for Nevedomosť, an unbalanced deity of ignorance.

It fits really, if you've seen the temple and tried to talk to him at all. It's a whole thing.
