Ob explained she was an entity, created at the end of the Age of the Varimathias, born from the people of the world's unhappiness with the Varimathias and desiring something to come of them. Ob added that she and Rhizadeal, created at the same time, were two sides of the same coin and that she was a corporeal essence that jumped from entity to entity. Ob further added the current state of the Skorian Empire, it's fear put on magic and magic users only made her more powerful, that whoever currently held her power resided in the capital of Puhan, *Krak*, and that their only way to disconnect their current connection in the *Nine Hells* was to find her there. Ob also confirmed that the Order of Ruin did indeed work for her interests and that the different colours of the Ruined Moon marks were different aspects of her connected to people and varied emotions that could source hate.

Lunala warned them they had gotten away with too much, that their efforts in *Cessunaler* with the Baron had caused problems and was unsure if she was willing to let them live.
