Just finished chapter four and... wow. Just wow.

This is definitely bigger than I ever thought. I mean, it was foreshadowed that gods existed in Novus but I didn’t really think that hey, they’re actively going to be playing a role in this story and the events that are transpiring. 

I still don’t fully understand I believe, and definitely need to replay again. 

The gist of it though, is that Novoth(?) is more than likely conspiring with the King and Queen and potentially these cultists (or are the cultists on the gods’ side???) to bring about a new race of humanity: ascendants. 

The God of Laws, God of Death, and Goddess of Justice don’t want that and branded the characters with their aegis, a mark of protection from Novoth(?). 

Now, you can refuse them but as they’re ya know, frickin’ gods, I wasn’t gonna do that. This is more than likely a set up for the ending, when the inevitable clash of gods happen and the characters are caught in the crossfire. Don’t quote me on that, I’m just speculating.

Honestly, Khushum gave me the feeling that he truly wants to help the people of Novus, even though it’s not his birth country. He has no designs to usurp the monarchy or anything silly and crazy like that, but there’s the sense that there’s an undercurrent of serious unhappiness with the people, citizens and nobility alike that gives him pause. 

Now this cult business? That unnerves him even more...

As a spy, arguably, the best spy of their Guild, while most trade in secrets and participate with deals done in the dark, Tor is an individual that does so by acting in the exact opposite manner people expect; teasing, light hearted jokes, and being candid, sometimes even a little crass, always using excessive and over the type gesticulations with their hands. It's because they’re not taken seriously, that people find it easy to unintentionally, easily, open up to them. 

Up until now, they’ve never met someone who operated the same way, which is why they find Raiden so interesting and entertaining. 

Nottie, despite her easy smile, doesn’t trust many people.
