The purpose of my post was to address your claim "
there is no mention at all that Aylin is connected to Selune", which was simply untrue. So quoted it to explain everything from start to finish, including why Last Light Inn falls because it is all connected to your original question.
As for this question;
"Did you know about the Inn outcome before the killing happened?".
Alas I am no prophet and my crystal ball was not near me at the time, but I knew that killing Aylin would be an extremely evil thing to do and that the aftermath will have some severe consequences since it concerns Selune's own daughter... which proved true because the aftermath turned out VERY BAD indeed.
So to claim that
Aylin's death and
Last Light Inn falling have no proper connection and that it isn't even properly explained is absolutely ridiculous. Especially when Isobel, a Cleric whose power
comes exclusively from Selune, has been keeping the entire place protected
without a single issue even while Marcus was trying to kidnap her. Yet the moment Aylin is murdered,
the dome shatters like glass and
Isobel's unable to channel enough of Selune's power, which the cutscene quite clearly shows.
- Isobel is certainly not aware that Aylin died, she simply cannot know. Therefore her surprised reaction is solely tied to the dome shattering all of a sudden.
- And as a Cleric her power comes exclusively from Selune, because the source of a Cleric's power is their deity.
Which leaves only Selune; who cannot directly intervene to save her own daughter because she's forbidden from doing so. So what else is a benevolent celestial mother left to do but observe and painfully mourn the loss of her own daughter that just got ritually sacrificed to her archnemesis Shar.
If anything I'd say you are dismissing Selune's motherly love way too easily because she is a benevolent goddess who just witnessed her own daughter get ritually sacrificed and
watching the dome shatter like glass the moment Aylin falls can even be taken as poetic symbolism of Selune's own heart shattering.After all that is one of Selune's personality traits;"Like the cycles of the moon, Selűne had many and changing moods and natures. Her faithful, coming from many walks of life, viewed her in countless different ways, and she reflected this. Sometimes she was enthusiastic, vivacious, joyous, and majestic, given to action and dance. At other times she was subdued, motherly, and almost poetic or tranquil and embracing. Then she was remote and weighed down by sadness at defeats and tragedies, even those that happened long, long ago."
