Yes... nothing so horrific as the destruction of an entire race. [The thought makes her shiver. She knows that Grannvale was clamoring for the heads of all Isaach after their attack on the border, and apart from Jamke she has no good opinion of the people of Verdane, but the idea of wiping them out, for personal gain or any other reason, is unfathomable.] We were at war... an unprovoked attack from another country, and then an abduction that turned into a full-scale war.

But the followers of a dark god were behind it all--the one who laid waste to our continent long ago. [She recalls that the king of Verdane warned her brother about the Loptrians' ends. To what end the war brings his revival, she's still not sure.] So in that way, it sounds like what was happening in your world when you left it.

[Evidently Astralin survived the old war and hasn't been killed by the burgeoning one, which is a relief. She won't ever know how things turn out.]
