Chapter 1858: Reason Behind Slumbering Goddess’ Long Bouts of Slumber

Vepar allowed Eren to process her words for a bit before continuing.

"My liege, even though there are not many temples dedicated to her, goddess Mortessa does have a few followers. But they are not in Labh Salem at this point.

However, that can change when the Hvergelmir Springs appear in Labh Salem. 

Mortessa's followers seek to spread disease and corruption, believing that through decay, new life can be born. As such, they are an extremely violent bunch who get easily recognized no matter which world they visit."

Eren simply nodded as an acknowledgment, prompting Vepar to continue further.

"As for why Mortessa is referred to as the Slumbering Goddess– it is said that to concoct a divine curse, she had to put her own divinity on the line.
