"We all agreed to give you as little information as you needed, so you<em>could</em>rest. We didn't want to overwhelm you, and worry you excessively. Yes, Barid has done some terrible things, but the worst of his atrocities have passed, and there's nothing that can be done about it. Despite everything, he has brought a sort of peace to the planes; every major war, except for the Blood War itself, has been stopped, and people are living free from the shadow of war and invasion." "It was Nadriina who suggested we not share everything with you; after all, she was the first to see you, after your return. She saw the state you were in, and we all agreed, we didn't want you running off full tilt. We wanted you to rest, peacefully, with fewer worries. I suppose it backfired, though."
