Blai repeats it.

The apprentice repeats after him, mangling the pronunciation, but she gets "divine" and "god" as right as one can get.

Blai nods.

Un[Garble].

"And I didn't get hit, either, under [Garble]. So it relates to understanding, but only in—at least Chelish, possibly other languages from your world. Curious.

"Syvra, you may go; thank you."

"Could it have to do with Chelish being my native language?"

"Possibly—if the curse caught you on the way in? But why would there be such a thing?"

"I don't know. Maybe if yours are all dead their deaths were differently cataclysmic than the occasional one-off of Golarion's."

Look of vague confusion. "Yes. Well, they're dead."

"- you look puzzled, did you get all those words?"

"Yes, I think I did. I just thought—actually, I'm not sure what the disconnect was."

"When Aroden died the event was very destructive."

"You think his death might have... reached us somehow, and erased the word for blickets? Did he speak Chelish?"

"- I assume the language was different at the time he last operated in language. I think that the - blicket equivalents - here died, as referenced by the phrase 'dead gods' -" With "gods" being in the local common.

In common, so it's easier to sort out his thoughts: "The gods are dead, yes. I'm afraid you might have to spell the connection out for me."

"...would it be idiomatic in your language to say that a rock is dead?"

"Nnnn...o? It's in a state of not being alive, so in some contexts maybe, but usually 'dead' is used to describe something which was once alive. Sometimes in a metaphorical sense, like a 'dead mage-light' or a 'dead project'."

"Right. And the 'gods' aren't like rocks in this respect, they are dead in the usual way. Yes?"

"Yyyy...yes." He frowns. "Yes. Of course."

"So there was probably an occasion where they died?"

He taps his chin. "I suppose that follows! Huh. And you think their—death—caused some sort of effect that made it impossible to talk about them... but only in languages from your world? From outside our world? That would also be very odd, wouldn't it?"

"I... am noticing that even using your own word for them, you are a bit halting in discussing them, so I don't think it's just Chelish."

Still in common: "Gods. Gods. You think saying it is fine, but discussing it... isn't? Well, I suppose it might be hard to notice, but... it's a bit unbelievable if that's the case and nobody in history has made a thing of it. And the truly most powerful are usually immune to this kind of effect, or so it is for powerful enchantments and Skill-enforced decrees or laws. Not that I am, but they'd have published a book or something."

"If you were going to issue a - short announcement about this, maybe not a whole book - what would you put in it?"

"Short announcement about, what, you, your world? The blicket thing?"

"The blicket thing, yes, but in the local language using 'god'."
