You can't imagine any of it went without consequence. God punished this "Original Sin" of his by damning mankind to a prison of their own: he created a mirror of Toril, the Shadow World, in this one, but intended it to be sealed off entirely. That's why trips here are one way, for those who slip through the cracks. This world was meant to be free of the magic I'd created, but that too, slipped through eventually. And what is more, he admitted he had been wrong regarding mankind, and began creating new races in Toril, each of which subsequently failed his 'test' just as spectacularly as the last. But by then, our focus was on the plight of Earth, and God himself had tied our fates to that world, having his own designs for the other.

But my story is not the only one that mattered, during all this. [ he looks to azrael and nods ] When I was punished, Azrael began a different journey, one that is not mine to share.
