“You mean that we’ve been hiding at the center of the world, and only using it to pilfer expensive earrings?” “And you haven’t been attacked by a single Lava Man. You’re welcome.”
Issac built it? With the help of unseen, unmentioned elves. And Eldor built what he does, with the help of unseen, unmentioned elves. We never find out what the dwarves are up to, and they’re the builder-types!
“Falliable” is an interesting word choice. Especially when Eldor implies Gaia did not know certain things, and Bhaal gave in, finding himself exposed. Also apparently incapable of detecting the truth in a faked death. I don’t feel like I have an unshakably form grasp on the cosmology, and that rocksolid proof that Gaia is an agency representing the Good and the Just. Eldor could be correct in some fashion, since unlike the rest of the characters, he’s probably has had the ability to brush up against the powers of the gods.
Assuming he is telling the truth. Which is still a matter of debate.

Considering sometimes benevolent, sometimes malevolent actions of gods in most mythologies. Eg: creating both a heaven & a hell, creating a world then flooding it to kill all but a small fraction of life on it: Godsend is a profoundly ambiguous idea in our world.

I wonder what the real truth is… Possibly everything here is true, except Gaia and Bhaal are just switched in the story I suppose.
I can’t help but wonder if people living in a world with a couple of real gods, would actually use a word like “godsend” in discussing their dealings.
