"At the moment, nothing. However, the Academy doubts your claims of divinity and demands an omen as proof," A mere nod to you, "The politics of it are divided greatly, and some call you a heretic. I believe a proper display will settle this in your favor."

Alyssa snorts and then breaks out laughing, "That is... Amazing. Okay. Let me get my amusement under control."

Can I look in on them with my divine senses since I  know them?

Madala first, but they might all be together in a meeting or something.

You find Madala happens to be in her room, head bowed in thought as she sits.

Alyssa smirks, Hello Madala! Is being High Regent everything you hoped it would be?

A sharp, sudden look around. "Alyssa?"

Yup! Delaize passed on what the council said, but no details. I figured I'd look in myself. Seems like you were dealing with something causing you a headache. Let me guess... Me, like always?

"You," Is the answer, "Well? It is true or is this merely the stat of suicidal hubris, Alyssa? You would not be the first mage to think themselves above mortals."

Indeed, if it were delusion, I would be far from the first mage to fall to it. Before we get to any of that, though, there's a far more important reason I'm contacting you... How have things been? Was I correct that my leaving removed interest in the Order? Was enough foundational work done?

"Yes and yes," Madala replies shortly as she sits back now, though her eyes stay sharp. "We've had no overt Sharran troubles since your departure. A few whiffs, a few hints, but nothing threatening."

That... Makes me extremely happy. I'm glad things have flourished. Any issues with that pain in the ass inspector that came to investigate us?

"That's not a concern. What's a concern is the answer to my question," Madala fires right back.

Well, the answer to your question depends on next steps. I'm not trying to be dodgy, but let's be honest. If I'm a heretic, then there's no point. I mean, I'm sure a couple of the council will call for my head, but who cares about them. But if I'm not a heretic, then what happens next? I can't exactly extend my control over all of Arythma, which means the first step would be the Order. What would you do if I were a Goddess? Would the entire Order come to me? Would you want to stay where you are? Would you allow those who want to leave to do so and those who want to stay, stay?

Because if I am a Goddess, and the Order acknowledges it, Shar will know. And if the Order is split, then the original danger remains for those who stay. If I were a Goddess, I would be able to extend some protections, but it's unlikely they would be as robust as we both would like them to be.

So, under threat of Shar possibly forcing the Order into exodus or returning to being under siege... Would you want me to be a Goddess?

"Hmph. Reality is not multiple choice, no matter how we play games with the truth," Madala retorts sharply, "Answer me."
