Summary:

Hades could have chosen any time in the history of Amaurot.

He could have remade the days when Hythlodaeus and he went to class together. Or the time that followed shortly after in which they learned how to love each other for the first time. Or the easy years that followed when Azem had joined them and their largest concerns were diverting the Convocation’s attention from his well-intentioned schemes.

Instead, Hades erected a constant reminder of duty. A perpetual indictment against his perceived past failures.

『Or, Emet-Selch visits the shade of Hythlodaeus in his conjured Amaurot.』
