Assumed her power was localized to the islands Her power is indeed localized, answered the voice, broadcasting to all of them now. Namers cannot exercise their power outside of the island, which is rather unusual. The reason for that is what you saw in the cavern; the aether crystal that powers Naming is broken. If things had gone as they normally do, it would have vanished as soon as Naming was created. But it did not. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
