He decided not to tell Ravi about Caster’s status as a reincarnated vessel of Zirat, since he wasn’t sure where to begin with all that. Plus, it just seemed like bad form to go spilling someone else’s ancient secrets like that.

He might still tell someone, though. Just depended on who. And if it felt relevant or important.

And in fairness, Caster had already begun keeping up his end of the bargain. Hector had received a document detailing various Abolish higher-ups, including Morgunov.

The intel wasn’t exhaustive, by any means, but it was a start. And one that Hector greatly appreciated, because Bloodeye and several of his men were included in it, which allowed Hector to corroborate a lot of the information that the Rainlords and Sandlords had already gathered on them.

There was even some information on this so-called “chaos form” that Banda had been using. Nothing that Hector didn’t already know, though. In fact, with his connection to the Magician of Light, it seemed like Hector might already be more informed about that than Caster was.

Additionally, there was plenty of other news from around the world about people in need of help after the floods. Even if the immediate danger had finally passed, there was still incalculable damage that had been done, and the need for materials to begin rebuilding was quite apparent. Hector was wondering if he might be in a position to help with that, somehow.

Agh, perhaps that was asking too much of himself. He had so many things on his plate already.

But on the other hand... after listening to Caster talk about building a network for long-distance teleportation, Hector couldn’t get the idea out of his head that Rathmore’s Gate might already allow for him to do precisely that, now that he had the Kag.

Meaning that he could... hypothetically... pop right on over to some of those devastated places on the other side of the world and deliver some supplies.

But where would he get said supplies? And precisely how powerful was the teleportation capability of the Gate? Could it move tons of materials at once? Or could it only move a few people? And did it have limits to where it could go? That seemed fairly likely.

The more he thought about it, the more he figured that he had no choice but to conduct some real tests on the Gate before any other plans could be made.
