The time to cross over arrived midway through "weaving a dream" for Jason Beria, so Nimrod took a moment to return to the Circle of Inevitability Timeline. As it turned out, those Outer Deity worshippers had been quite effective. Using all manner of methods, they had disposed of their rivals and their own allies, putting an end to any troublemaking ambitions those fools with dwindling faiths had harbored-at least until he was elected a member of parliament.
