You mean to say that a Shard even in that state is not yet fully prepared for a Rejoining? It seemed as though the Shard had been nearly consumed with levin.

From:

This may come as a surprise, but I don't know everything that happens every minute of every day on every shard, Exarch. I AM just one man and, thanks to your efforts, I am now a dead one. I can only speak about the state I last saw it in.

There should have been two of our raised brethren overseeing that particular shard. Did you not meet them?

From:

afflatusexarch

Technically speaking, I had very little to do with your death. No doubt that if you hadn't brought such an ultimatum to our mutual friend, it wouldn't needed to have come to that.

I ask only because it seemed to be in a worst state than even the First. Though, perhaps not, as the land seemed to at least be inhabitable to some degree.

We didn't cross paths with any of your brethren. Mayhap they did not cross over or they did not wish to seek any sort of conflict after Fandaniel's meddling.

From:

emet_sulk

You summoned help for our dying hero and claim you had no part in my death?

I haven't the faintest idea what happened in my absence then. Time flows oddly between the shards, as you know. I suppose you will meet the pair eventually, if they desire to show themselves in the wake of all that has happened.

From:

afflatusexarch

Correlation does not imply causation. Besides that, "little to do with" does mean that I played a part in it, but only through calling the Warrior of Light to the First. T'was no fault of mine you thought to have a final battle.

I wonder if they are still with us at all, your wayward companions. One would think that they wouldn't take too kindly to this Shard attaching itself to the Source.

From:

emet_sulk

You know very well I had little choice in that moment. You opened the way for the Warrior of Light to call others of their ilk. Or is your memory already failing you after two centuries?

As for my brethren, they knew what would happen with the Rejoining. I imagine they simply fled.

From:

afflatusexarch

Had that not been after you issued your little challenge? Your ultimatum? Naturally I could not have done much more than that, given my physical state, if you recall.

Fled, you say. Yet a Rejoining did not occur so where would they be?

From:

emet_sulk

Hmph. Shirk responsibility all you like, Exarch. A hand offered is a hand no matter whose it is.

My brethren are likely hiding somewhere. Don't ask me - I might have known before the Sundering but they've never been quite right even after we raised them back to their Seats.

From:

afflatusexarch

A valid point, of course.

What do you mean by "never quite right?"

From:

emet_sulk

I mean that even after restoring their memories, they were never quite the people they once were. I suppose memories of their mortal lives kept interfering. They were more often than not too emotional while carrying out their duties.

From:

afflatusexarch

Here I thought that Fandaniel was the outlier. Or, rather, Fandaniel and Gaia were outliers.

From:

emet_sulk

Oh, you've met Loghrif too, have you?

Fandaniel has always had a nervous temperament, I suppose. Some form of it always manifested in his lives. But I must say I'm surprised Loghrif's shard managed to find its way back so soon. Was she as forgetful as ever?

From:

afflatusexarch

Thancred and Urianger had more interaction with her than I. At the time I was... Reoccupied with soul vessels.

From what I've been told, she preferred the newfound life she found with Ryne. Even with some restoration of memories.

From:

emet_sulk

And Ryne is...?

Ah, I remember now. That girl who performed Hydaelyn's work. And she managed to sway her from Loghrif's original partner? Interesting.
