"Join a faction. Now."
Iron Crown's words were weighty. And they sounded more like a command than a suggestion.
It should always be the choice of the ascending god to decide what faction to join after the Virelenna.
This was a privilege that only came when Quiet Flame lost power and Iron Crown took control of the matters of the lower plane.
Though the choice was always made even before the end of the Virelenna. Most, if not all, gods had already fallen under different factions long before participating.
However, in all the Virelennas the stars had presided over throughout the millennials, this would be the first time a god would balatly refuse to choose a faction.
The stars were bound. By their own ancient laws, they could not harm the gods of the world. It was a rule they had imposed upon themselves eons ago, and one they had never broken.
