(Time-Stilled World, Conclave of the Ancients, Leo's POV)
After reading the second book, Leo quickly moved to a third and fourth, hoping for more answers about the Great Dimming, but neither gave him what he was looking for.
They did not dwell on the death of Zharnok, nor the divine war that led to this world's corruption, but instead focused heavily on what followed immediately after—the collapse of society, the splintering of beliefs, and the descent of the populace into something far worse than death.
These books were different in tone compared to the second one. They were much less poetic, and were not filled with speculation, but rather only observation, as though the authors who wrote these books did not care for the mysteries of gods or the divinity they once revered, but were instead trying desperately to document and survive in a world that no longer followed age-old rules.
