Extinguishing the Fires of the Wanton

---

Phydrena is the goddess of passion. Passion for the arts, for an ideal, and for all that goopy, sloppy stuff you physical beings engage in. Gross. Arak has corrupted the beauty and artistry in the Sanctuary of Phydrena, then twisted them into the nightmares of those who've been oppressed by zealots. I thought Ascended had buried the hatchet years ago, but obviously nasty thoughts linger. Also, there is a massive, fire-breathing dragon.

You certainly got fired up about that! That was terrible; I apologize. I know you had to eat a man's heart, and it was probably very gross and a little cannibalistic. It's just that it was quite the amazing, action-packed adventure! You turned a nightmare of religious intolerance and oppression into the most amazing power fantasy of heroic violence. I think Arak is beginning to regret drawing you Ascended away from Telara.
