"I disagree, and so would Lyrun."
"Then, please, tell us more," added Jack.
Moranti continued, "There's one key factor that you don't consider. You know how most of the holy gods are beasts, so have you considered those powerful beast races in your plans? Or did you just assume that the holy gods had the association under their control?"
"True, but normally, that wouldn't be too much a problem… Unless…" Sterfen paused, altering his opinion after considering recent events. "Halmut's going to raise more gods, won't he?"
"Maybe he already has," replied Moranti. "All I know is that Halmut has been keeping his favored races hidden away. The Magma Dragons, Storm Dragons, Flood Dragons, Quake Dragons… those four races remain loyal to Halmut out of a mix of fear and respect. And given half a millennium, I can guess that at least one from each race is near the cusp of immortality."
