My L-rd Dagon, may the Light upon your waters bless you with plenty of algae and seaweed, and may the bioluminescence of your deepest dwelling citizens never diminish...
I will give this much acknowledgement to a deity of my former age, Astavyastataa Kadna: he taught me to read, and reread words for hidden meanings many times. It seems you are one who may also read deeper meaning than the surface appearance of words, my L-rd.
*bows*
I assume we will watch and ware each other, my L-rd.
And yet...in the many travels and observations I have done during the interdiction, not once did I ever run across your name. Hmmm.Devaguhya wrote:And before you comment again young one ... I may be newly arrived in Eiran; but I am older than your mind can comprehend. I am as old as Life.
Fascinating...
You are quite welcome, m'l-rd. But, heed this bit of advice I offer you once. The above from Devaguyha are words worth paying attention to. Scratch my back, I'll scratch yours. Or as the enlightened Aarklar quotes...Dagon wrote: Many thanks, Lady O-Gon-Cho! *bows*

What is good for the goose is good for the gander.
Dagon himself claimed that he would pay any price. By your admission, you uphold my right to charge for the use of my earth.
I have been generous to those deities who have asked for my blessing. I have given this blessing freely and without price because I believe that the earth is for all to enjoy and benefit from.
Yet, if this is the path that we are taking, so be it.
I have the monopoly on the earth, as Dagon has on the sea. However, his sea rests on my earth. The ocean floor is mine. The sand, the rock, the dirt is all mine.
Therefore, since Dagon himself claimed that he would pay any price to me, I will demand that he give me half of his earnings from sea crossing.
Now you are talking, my Lady.
