How do you all intend to tie in the events from D2, Beyond Divinity with OS2?

From this interview, it says that your group in OS2 is fleeing for the Black Ring which is now the lesser evil over the Divine Order.

In the Son of Chaos Novella, it says that Damian under the influence of Ygerna, joined the Black Ring after she was killed. Then he massacred the people of Rivellon.

So do massacres happen very often in the world of Rivellon? What would cause people to flee for the very enemy, especially when local propaganda and education has enlightened them of, the very wisdom of their Demigod? Maybe it's a point of "they're not killing us NOW" and "being dead is better than being sucked dry".

You writers have a very heavy job and that's to tie up everything. Even though the Divine One may or may not be around, we should be able to see traces of his influence everywhere. And would he approve of the Divine Order's acts? I've read that in DD, he didn't really like them. But after he became a DemiGod, maybe he started to see things differently?

I'd also like to think that: from the Divine One's influences(what he said, did, etc.), we can infer part of the relationship between father and son. :P
