#altho. her relationship with her faith gets complicated after a point

[aleroin]

I should sleep soon but listen to me. it's implied in certain places [have to dig up the codices] that the Elvhen had some contact with the Evanuris after the Veil went up. You could take this as delusion or deceit; they believe they're communicating with the Evanuris in the Void, but they're mistaken or spirits are lying to them. You could also take this as politics; remaining leadership says they're in contact with the Evanuris to maintain order and legitimize their power.

But, you could say they had genuine contact. It would be limited for sure and potentially unclear [and of course it was eventually lost], but it's not impossible. The Void is not wholly inaccessible. It would be extremely dangerous to access, but perhaps some Dreamers were able and/or the Evanuris still had enough power at the time to send out messages. Then captivity in the Void weakened them or the proper pathways were lost. There are also the eluvians and their pathways. In theory, the Elvhen could get close to communicate with the Evanuris to some extent. This is especially true if my theory about there being eluvians designed to access / look in on the Void is true. So there are options for how it could be accomplished [and eventually lost], and there are definitely people who would risk the blight and/or getting lost in the Void to contact their gods in the aftermath of the fucking apocalypse.

If any of this is true . . . very interesting to consider Merrill's work with the eluvians and specifically the network to which Audacity was connected potentially leading to contact with the Evanuris. Probably really spotty contact but like . . . it could happen . . .
