""You even know this, Lich, your erudition surprises me a bit."
Zariel was genuinely surprised. The contract between the Githyanki and Goddess Tiamat was considered extremely secretive information, possibly dating back to thousands of years ago, to an era when the Mage civilization was at its peak and records of such matters might have existed.
Over the years, those books had probably been lost.
Amberser did not feel pleased by Zariel's compliment, but instead asked with great seriousness, "Are you going to destroy this world?"
Even the arrival of the Lord of the Dawn had not shocked Amberser as much.
In all the books Amberser had read, records related to the Githyanki were always the same: ugly, brutal, militaristic, racially extreme, utterly devoid of kindness and goodness.
