[it's a nearly unfathomable idea, with gods roaming the planet so long ago, and to live in tandem with humans. Dohalim has to wonder if most of them were still around before the invasion... but if they were, then would they have allowed an entire race to take over Dahna, especially if they were entrusted to protect their people?

well, here goes nothing; the worst Zhongli would do is say something along the lines of his contract stopping him from speaking on the subject (as irritating as it is)]

When the Renans descended onto Dahna, were the gods still protecting the land? Or had your numbers diminished once more that you couldn't have protected your people?
