"Why would the Tower of Providence lead Captain Jack to Bob?" Velma asked herself as she watched the crew play amongst themselves, her pencil tapping the notepad in her lap.
She had learned a lot since joining the alliance, which included things about the Tower of Providence, as well as the ongoing war between the Paths of Order and Chaos.
This was a war that had continued from the earliest years of the Enlightenment Age, and possibly even the Primordial Age. Neither side was able to win, although throughout the ages the advantage kept shifting between the two sides.
A little known secret that she had managed to ferret out was that the entire war effort from the side of the Path of Order was actually being controlled solely by the Tower of Providence. No one else had the power, the prestige, or the influence to control so many powerful races for a unified purpose. Everything the tower did was for the Path of Order, even if it was not obvious to those involved.
