[Eva's hands don't shake while she pours herself a cup, but they aren't exactly steady either. This time it's not in rage.]

Saw that, did you.

It-- look, it's... an old story. Complicated. But I'll tell you what I know.

[She sits on the floor, cross-legged.]

The Emperor isn't kedan. I'm sure you've figured that part out for yourself. And the kedan aren't native to this world. She brought them here, after Tu Vishan broke off from the continent, but before she razed the cities to the ground. I don't-- I'm not privy to all the information. My people are gone, and I was... young when the cities were destroyed, but I do know she's the one responsible for it all.

[she sips at her coffee, quietly.]

But the mausoleum doesn't have anything to do with the summoning, not... directly. It's all the people from all the cities. I brought them there.
