Perhaps they didn't. Perhaps all they knew was simply that a star would cross my path and guide me to where I needed to be. Or they may have heard rumors of a certain "familiar's" presence in Elpis? I cannot say for sure.

[Something that might be worth asking about now that Azem is alive again, he supposes. Assuming Azem is willing to speak to him at all after getting filled in...]

The worst case scenario, assuming one of us fills Azem in, is that they simply refuse to acknowledge Emet-Selch and myself from that point on. The best would probably be that they eventually find it within themself to forgive or overlook our actions, for whatever reason. And I want the latter to be true, for Emet-Selch's sake... but I fear it unlikely.
