Charged crystals are kind of different. It's not really direct mana.

You know how elementals can power various machines, too? I believe the technical term is "energy" for what crystals have.
K'Sarian

You can't cast magick just holding a crystal. At least that I know of.
K'Sarian

What about that thing they were giving as a reason. The "divine law"?
Arntta
►
◄
The Divine Vow of Law.
Dia
►
◄
For being an Ionian refugee you sure don't know all this Ionian stuff.
K'Sarian
►
◄
Look, gimmie a break, yah? It was a weird time.
Arntta
►
◄
The Divine Vow of Law is... the Iahn's ultimate authority, I suppose to put it.
Dia
►
◄
It's the Iahn's ultimate reason to do anything in Ion. It can be used to overrule anything. But the Iahn only is supposed to use it if it's ultimately neccessary.
Dia
►
◄
Only if the Iahn feels it's needed for the safety of Ion itself, or Lunism.
Dia
►
◄
It can't be questioned, or argued with. Everyone has to stand down to it.
Dia
►
◄
It's not usually something an Iahn has to ever use.
K'Sarian
►
◄
But since the geas is preventing any mention of this entire event, I'm guessing it would also prevent any mention of the Iahn asserting their vow.
K'Sarian
►
◄
It's the vow the Iahn makes with Lun themself!
Dia
►
◄
Hold up. You're telling me that they've talked to your god?
Arntta
►
◄
It's said the Iahn can talk to Lun, yes. But a core tenet of Lunism is that anyone can talk to Lun. It's just that Lun might not neccessarily have the ability to respond.
K'Sarian
►
◄
It's said the Iahn recieves visions from Lun directly. The Vow is the Iahn's ultimate promise to sacrifice their own life for Lun, if needed.
Dia
►
◄
Whatd'ya mean?
Arntta
►
◄
It goes back to the stories of when Lun visited Alastere.
Dia
►
◄
Before they left, Lun gave The Iahn the ability to give their own life, if needed, to summon Lun again.
Dia
►
◄
...
Merric
►
◄
If Cael was to ever return to Alastere, The Iahn would do a ritual, offering their own life, to cause Lun to return.
Dia
►
◄
The ultimate sacrifice. The ultimate expression of their body being a vessel for Lun.
Dia
►
◄
That Ura, though. Holt. Called himself one of the "three generals of Cael".
K'Sarian
►
◄
Do you think...?
K'Sarian
►
◄
Lunism's traitor is returning?
Lum
►
◄
It would fit in with the Iahn asserting their vow.
K'Sarian
►
◄
And would explain why they are keeping us here for likely a debrief.

Fullbright's group. I hope I am not interrupting.
Tyrion

High Paladin Firefang! We're all done here, is everything all right?
Dia
►
◄
The Iahn has summoned you all to their inner quarters, when you all are ready.
Tyrion
►
◄
I would advise not keeping them waiting.
Tyrion

Yeah, better to have our questions answered by the boss themselves. Hope we don't get like, our memories wiped or any nonsense.
