Brion will return home in a few hours, either at sunrise or sunset depending on what time of day Lucifer and Natasha unlawfully entered his house. He's surprised to see them, but seems to understand should they reveal themselves as the Summoned from Castle Thorne. After some hesitation, Brion invites them to sit down.
1. The rotted wood and grain he believes is from a black root only found in Solvunn, and only in the possession of the Council and a few trusted Elders. In nature, the root is benign. It must be treated before it receives its flesh rotting properties. It's used in sacrificial rituals under specific circumstances. Natasha and Lucifer can confirm this by reaching out to anyone in Solvunn who approached the Council with similar questions.
Due to its potential to destroy crops and farmlands, the material is guarded with great care. He believes Josselyn's attempt to transport it to areas in Thorne and the Free Cities caused unexpected contamination.
2. Brion became aware of the spoiled grain when he caught some of it in the shipments arriving from Solvunn several weeks ago. Worried it'd spread to the already damaged farmlands, he made sure to destroy the spoiled grain and informed the Council. He claims he wasn't aware until the recent disappearances that it was anything other than an innocent mistake due to the troubles from the blights a few months ago.
However, he's aware Josselyn's grown more and more obsessed with the Old Gods. He says she told him she believed there was a way to reach them through what she calls the "Ascension." Although he was curious at first by the idea, when she began gathering followers, he turned away. He says it goes against Solvunn's core traditions which rely on the Old Gods granting them blessings through offerings. He believes the arrogance of thinking anyone could deliberately reach the Old Gods, expecting an answer, will anger them.
