Somewhat related topic and apologies if it's been mentioned before but I missed it, but does anyone else get the impression that the Church of Ivala is the one behind the imprisonment of the MDB who may or may not be Ivala? At the very start of the game, the Anak is informed that the Church has somehow obtained a "divine conduit" which is limited by some unknown means. That power is used to create the Chosen. However when we are about to study the captured Chosen ourselves, that power is suddenly withdrawn. That would imply that the wielders of said power, in this case the Church, can control it even after siphoning it away. Also, unless it's a huge coincidence, they would have some way of monitoring said power as well.

It's been speculated in this thread that Hester is the one in charge of the Chosen for the church, so it stands to reason that she would be fully aware of how that power is obtained. Given her apathetic attitude towards most of the concerns of the nations, it seems likely that she is focused instead on the divine beings and their power, much like Alonon and the Anak have been seen to behave.

Completely unrelated, but first time posting, so just wanted to say thanks to everyone for maintaining this wonderful resource. I don't know how I'd have figured out the various choices without it.
