[@shylarah] Well, from my understanding, there's more than one Omestrian ruin, and he's definitely been to [i]one[/i] of them. Iddin-Mar specifically? No.

As for why he invited Ziotea... well, I actually think he's trying to give her a little of what Mother Indira gave him. Obviously, he doesn't have years to pass it all on, so he's trying to convey it with a sight and a few choice words. He probably extended the invite to Viveca as well, but she's doing her own thing.

I do have a few plans I want to fit in. A hollow feeling inside of Oren, from seeing all of what was lost. And basically a repeat of what Mother Indira said to him and Viveca - "Deep within you, there is a flame. Never allow it to go out."
