    Default Did V's Sending spells to Serini fail?

    Vaarsuvius has semi-regularly cast Sending to contact Serini and warn her of Xykon's (and the Order's) progress.

    But since her appearance has changed drastically from how she used to look, did those sendings fail? The priest of Loki needed more than just a name to contact Durkon, after all.

    I don't think they failed. Based on what Serini has said so far, she chose not to respond because she didn't trust adventurers not to blow up her gate; they had already been around two destroyed gates by the time they decided to start calling her?

    Or was it three? Hmmm, was it before or after BRiTF that V starting sending to Serini? My guess is after Roy did for Girard's gate but am happy to be corrected.

    It was definitely before that; there is a bonus strip in BRitF that shows it.

    There is also a possibility that her "warehouse" is protected from receiving Sending, but that seems to be unlikely.
    There must be some sense of order - personal, political or dramatic - and if no one else is going to bring it to this world, I will.

    Personally I think it failed based on them not being able to accurately identify her, since that would underline how radical the change had been, and there's no particularly important reason that I can see why the Sendings should have succeeded. It's just that if they hadn't tried, it'd be like, "Why didn't they try?" so they did the sensible thing and tried.

    But there are other possibilities and I guess we'll see.

    My money is on V's Sendings having reached Serini without any issues.
