[chandra also walks along the edge, looking out into the waves.]
To minimize interference with one another, I suppose. Once large-scale sura attacks on humans mostly ceased, there was also less of a need for the gods to have a direct presence in the human realm.
... Well, until suras started breaking out of the sura realm, anyway.
[ she inches a bit by bit into the waters, mostly mesmerized in watching the waves overlap. ]
And the suras are..? [ because it is not a term she's heard before, and her thoughts of a large-scale attack by something.. her thoughts go to something else. ]
Another race, created at the beginning of the universe. You can think of the nastikas, their first generation, as the counterpart to the gods—if we are the energy needed to sustain the universe, then they're the force that consumes it.
By large they're known for wanton destruction, whether against other races or each other. Much of our duty was keeping them in check.
I see... [ a thoughtful look, humming. one to sustain... another that consumes. ]
Outside Constellations, there are Outer Gods back home. Though they are also referred to as gods of other worlds, they are eldritch-like beings whose forms can resemble anything, yet nothing. It makes describing their appearance hard to do because technically they shouldn't exist in the first place.
Whenever they appear, they leave nothing but destruction in their wake. Consuming everything and anything. [ it's what she had thought of initially. ] Constellations generally fear them.
I can see some similarities, though the suras are otherwise fairly different, I believe. In some regards, they're just an annoyingly powerful, destructive race.
Some members are worthwhile or cooperative enough, at least, and there are many humans who have sura lineage—though those who are a direct offspring between a human and sura tend to face prejudice, especially in recent years.
Humans with sura lineage? [the vast ship potential.... (no) ]
Ah, so probably something more like beast men than Outer Gods. [ she does not think it's possible for outer gods to have offspring. ] Mmm... that's probably not too surprising.
Mm. Well, on the other hand, the Tarakas may be more similar to your Outer Gods... Technically, they're one of the sura clans, but they have strong ties to Primeval God Kali, who seeks to destroy the universe.
As a result, they do little but devour everything in their way—a bane to every race and to the world.

Why did they isolate them? [ she tilts her head curiously at this. the latter doesn't seem too surprising to her though. ]
