Witness His Glory (5)

Rowan had not gathered information about the past of Doom Star solely from the souls of the dead alone. He knew that the World Stele might be aware of his talent for soul-devouring; it had seen him manipulate events with the Primordial Keepers in order to implicate the Eye of Time. Rowan had exposed all of this important information deliberately, and his reason for doing so was to avoid revealing the fact that he had already been on Doom Star before the World Stele had returned to the realm.

If Rowan could only read the memories of the souls that were in this realm, then he would be stuck with only what they knew and what the World Stele would choose to tell him. As Rowan clearly understood, history was deceptive enough in its retelling, and adding the interests of another party would skew the narrative in their favor ten times out of ten.

He needed the full truth about Doom Star, and the only way to learn it was to see it with his own eyes.
