"You're still on your wretched little isle. And at the same time, you are here. Two realms overlapping. Two places at once. What is called a Convergence."

"'...a drawing-together of Ascendant powers'"

DG, UK MMPB, p.91

"...power draws power. If one Ascendant parts the fabric here and now, others will come, smelling blood. Come the dawn every mortal in this city could be dead.’"

GotM, UK Trade, p.112

"Convergence,' Tool said. 'Power ever draws other power. It is not a complicated thought, yet it escaped us, the Imass...'The Jaghut well understood the danger. Thus they avoided one another, abandoned each other to solitude, and left a civilization to crumble to dust. The Forkrul Assail understood as well, though they chose another path. What is odd, Adjunct, is that of these three founding peoples, it is the Imass whose legacy of ignorance survived the ages."
