These Elder Mages like Haber always believed their intelligence and strategies far surpassed the magical talents granted to them by the heavens.
Even if they couldn't transform themselves through their own efforts, at least they could elevate themselves above others.
Weren't Elaströ and the Seven Sisters simply lucky enough to encounter the former Goddess of Magic because they lived long lives?
They certainly didn't want to become anyone's lackeys; as long as they could have the Demon Lord in their grasp... with the Toril Gods' tendency to bully the weak, even if they hated them, what could they really do?
Having seen many Evil Gods and Devils commit atrocities on the Ferun Great Land yet manage to escape unscathed, they were full of confidence about their future.
These people seemed to never consider the possibility of their schemes failing.
If they offended Ambori, perhaps they would have a bit of hope.
