Q'onzuWhat have we here? A mortal whose mere presence changes the realm?
You are very interesting, indeed.
Who are you?
I am the cool, fresh scent in the air just before the rain. I am the face you can't quite remember.
I am the harbinger of change. I am the reaper of consequence.
I serve the unending flow of Life, and I am the victim of its stagnation.
Do I speak the truth, mortal? Or do I deceive you with my grandeur? I was hoping you would tell me.
Merithra requests your aid in defending the World Tree.
Q'onzu says: Now why would I want to stop the Dream from changing? I think I will wait and see what happens. Try not to die, mortal.Q'onzu May or May Not Have Left the DreamDon't get me started on that good-for-nothing owl.
Refusing our call to assist against the Druids of the Flame is not the first time they have shown cowardice in the face of evil. They claim that their domain requires them to stay out of such conflicts, but I find it convenient how their choices always lead to their own comfort.
Surely they're up to their old tricks again. I'm still trying to figure out who allowed them back into the Dream!
I do not wish to speak about Q'onzu any longer. Begone from me, mortal.Q'onzu? Ahe yes. Ysera is... quite familiar with that one. As familiar as one can be with such a creature.
I'm afraid I know little for certain, but I believe that Q'onzu has always been in the Dream.
There were once rumors that they dug their way out. Preposterous. They can change many things. but they cannot change the nature of this place.Gossiping Dryad says: Q'onzu? The Wild God?
Gossiping Dryad says: Of course, the Wild God. Do you know any other Q'onzu?
Gossiping Dryad says: I heard they're demanding to be called a 'loa' these days,
Gossiping Dryad says: That is so like them. Could never settle.
Gossiping Dryad says: Weren't they imprisoned by Ysera?
Gossiping Dryad says: No, no... I heard they were spending time hidden among the mortals!
Gossiping Dryad says: Perhaps that's where they picked up "loa"!
Gossiping Dryad says: Wonder what else they picked up there...Wild God / Loa of Change
Why are you called a loa?
Why are you a ? Why are you called a ?
It's who you are. Loa is who I am. It's what I was called by my first devotees and it's what I have chosen to embrace.
<Q'onzu swivels their great head around, their eyes narrowing in a cheeky expression.>
Mystery is certainly delightful... isn't it?
I have met and aided many spirits of the Wilds and those that worship them. You, however. are new.
Doesn't that make this all the more exciting? An unfamiliar droplet in an ocean of ordinariness!
The Wild Gods, the August Celestials, even the many loa you are familiar with! Instead of perceiving me through the lens of what is known, consider an alternative.
The tree of life is vast, her crown reaching high and her roots sinking deep.
And you. Huntmaster, have only seen a few of her many branches.Who Are They?Soulflayer's Corruption
