Draiss snorted, before giving an abbreviated version. "After the explosion, I suffered from a power overload, and wandered for a few centuries until a group of gods came in and beat me back to my senses. I spent a couple decades after that ensuring I wasn't going to backslide, and then went out and started my religion. I ran into Borval and Jarod, both of whom had gone insane like I had, but I wasn't able to stop them without killing them. I them met up with the Blackguard and the Marilith later, not together, though I suspect they have linked up again. With you being alive and sane, the only ones left from our little escapade is that assassin and Svala. I am hoping the assassin is insane and can be dealt with and that Svala isn't and will join up, because I can already tell that me and the Marilith are going to eventually go at it again. And this time she will not have the overwhelming advantage she had then.<br/><br/>Anyway, that is the short and quick version, and I can give all the messy and dirty details later, once you have convinced yourself that I really am real."
