[Good thing this conversation is already private, or Nate would have to switch over now in anticipation of his inevitable, theoretical word-vomit.]

Connection as in...like, the reason for moving here, over other places?

[He doesn't wait for confirmation, assuming that it is Seth's angle.]

I think the gods are linked to this place. I don't know how, but I know they're not so indecisive that they'd pick a new venue at random. They'd never do anything that didn't directly benefit them in some way. [There is a pause, and Nate frowns a little, looking at nothing in particular.] ...There used to be more of them until they were attacked, a long time ago. Stands to reason a bunch of them got killed or lost, maybe had to go into hiding. This might have been one of those places. A safe zone.
