Vin listens to the exchange between Daudi and Gewyn, and clears his throat to gain attention.
"It goes a little further than that, in truth. Nivara did not just slay Vox Tontritor, she turned her into an undead slave. And she has already become a liche, and she is now trying to ascend to godhood, having been in league with Nectyran. If you are allied to the true god of death and care at all about this plane, Nivara is as big a threat to you as they come, Daudi", he says, augmenting Gewyn's account of what is going on.
"Oh, and I am Vincent, also at your service", he adds, mimicking Gewyn's formality with a more clumsy bow.
Daudi rolls her eyes and sighs, "you're telling me things I've known for centuries... And for centuries she has done nothing, the realm has not fallen apart, what has changed?"
As she speaks Ömertyr turns to spot her and begins his furious tirade back toward her. Daudi flicks a wrist at him as he gets halfway between the raised dias and the group and he stops, black shadowy tendrils wrapping around him and pulling him to the ground as he is grappled by his own shadow.
Vin's assertion of Dec maybe able to save Ingram has all of Elthana's attention for the moment and she continues to walk towards the ghost. "Ingram? Can you hear me? Are you alright?"
But she has an ear for the conversation... well, almost more of a speech than anything going on and as Daudi responds, Elthana finds her spine go rigid.
She turns from Ingram and steps out of the shadows so that Daudi can take a good look at her. "I've arrived, that's what has changed. Good to know you haven't been blinded from the truth."
Muir wait and listens. Nodding along with everyone’s assessment. “Nivara needs Elthana to become whole and regain all of her power….if that were to happen she may be unstoppable. Nivarra has tricked the djinn into creating an undead army for her. She has turned Vox into an undead phylactery or so we think. I am not totally sold on this idea as the only way to open it is with a lullaby only Elthana and Nivarra know. So We are here to help stop her, but we come here for help. We need to know how to undo her becoming a liche to make her mortal. I came upon a name that perhaps you could help with…..Does the name Lim mean anything to you?”
Vin's ears warm as his temper rises when he hears Daudi's dismissal of their news and that she was already aware of it all. How can she be so blasé about it? How can she have sat on this knowledge without telling anyone?
When Elthana speaks, followed by Muir, he simply stares at Daudi. They don't seem to share his anger at Daudi's inaction.
Daudi looks at Elthana, apparently not knowing what importance this little shadar-kai holds, but is made more interested by Muir's comments. "So Nivara isn't whole? I've never met the woman, but I've heard stories... Did you say Lim? What has he got to do with anything? He's not even in this realm." She sits down, her hunch bringing her to eye level with the group as she now resembles a pile of rags once more. The ghostly blue spectre by the dias only physically responds to Elthana's approach, stepping forward and reaching an arm out as the griffon follows dutifully and frustrated not knowing what to do.
Ömertyr yells and wriggles on the floor trying to escape but to no avail.
Muir continues “Elthana here was made by Nivarra before she came to these lands. The theory goes Elthana was supposed to wake up of Nivarra died but it seems when she became an undead it caused Elthana to wake up with a strong connection to Nivara…dreams, memories etc. As for Lim, yes I said Lim. I’m uncertain what Lim has to do with Nivara or lichdom or possibly the solution to defeating a lich….i was hoping you could help with that and fill in the details.”
"Lim is Vox's brother, one of the children of Jotunnam, but like I said he's not here, he's the realm of earth..." She drones as she looks mildly confused at Muir's statement. But returns to the previous notion, "Elthana here is key to Nivara's success? why not take Elthana out of the equation, nothing personal but you being here puts the realm at great risk"

Ignoring the Elthana comment for a moment “Were Lim and Vox close?”
"no."
Muir smiles patient as ever. Daudi clearly not knowing who she’s dealing with here. “What do you know of Lim? Is there a way to communicate with him?”
