This morning the grey kitten version of Gielinor's goddess of Death and Rebirth left Milliways the same way she entered just before the version Milliways is more familiar with descended from room 60 carrying a grotesquely oversized lobster pot.

She might bump into people with it on her way to the Caribbean inlet, but it might be more likely to find her on the jetty that was built for docking boats there. There are some nice rocks to sit on, and on one of them, she relaxes and enjoys a marrentil cigar, with a bottle of the unsanitary swill called Braindeath 'Rum', an axe, and rope leading out to the submerged lobster pot nearby.

She's going to catch whatever has been smashing her lobster pots up before, she can feel it. But in the meanwhile she's botherable.

"Generally there is someone willing to start a feud," says Thalestris. "Over grazing land or a stream to drink from, if nothing else. And that's enemy enough, for most clans."

One hand comes up briefly in an old sign against misfortune at the mention of the ghosts. "What became of the rest of your country?" she asks. "Was some god angered, or was it a war?"

"Many gods were angered, it was a God War. When the Death goddess of my country was betrayed and defeated by her own mortal worshippers, with the help of a foreign god of justice," she tries very hard to hide her disgust at the memory, "it wasn't long until the other gods became fearful and started conspiring against eachother. Soon a mortal used the same weapon the god of justice used against the death goddess to betray and steal his god's power to grant himself godhood. The entire world went to war after that."

A bitter chuckle escapes. "By trying to defeat Death, they only betrayed the world to her madness."

"It was the newly risen god's fault that my country dried up. The only green part of my country now was one of the grandest cities in the world, Ullek. But now it lays partially under the sea, partially under a swamp. For their part in destroying Ullek, the new god rewarded one of his people with the ability to cover their land with clouds that only part during the night. But to do it he diverted the clouds that blessed our land with rain. Our people prayed to the Sun so that he would shine less brighty to spare us from his heat, but he couldn't do it, lest the world die of starvation."
