Demeterra opened the communion at 06:00, Day 30.
Three gods answered. Three out of the six who had stood with her when the war began. The communion's space — the shared divine awareness where gods' presences met and communicated — felt hollow. Not because the space itself had changed. Because the absences were louder than the presences.
Demeterra, Durnok, Gorvahn, and Thalveris.
No Sylvaen. No Kreth. No Morglith — the god of Stone and Decay was still fighting in the Frostmarch, still loyal, but thirty days of sustained attrition had thinned his forces to the point where his divine attention was wholly consumed by the collapse happening at his own perimeter. He had last been reachable in full communion at Day 22. Now he was a presence felt at the edge of Demeterra's awareness — present, stubborn, but too far and too depleted in focus to participate.
"Report," Demeterra communicated.
