Although the most personal matter concerning you, is that of religion. It seems that since your time, the majority of humans abandoned the ancient faith in physically divine beings, for that of more spiritual and enigmatic entities beyond the perceptible world. The idea of faith in a deity beyond what is knowable, rather than faith in a deity that physically walks around the world and interacts with things. In particular these north-westerners, the ones to have escaped the old world and resettled, have faith in their one god and make prayers and temples to it... although recently because of the suffering of these times, faith has understandably waned. This is not really a challenge or a threat to you, since as a personally and physically divine being, you don't depend upon humans or worship for power. Indeed, the humans seem to have even forgotten you entirely these past eons, but you are no less powerful than you were. It probably will become a problem if you hope for them to accept you however, and they have to accept you if you want to help them.
<span class="mu-r">"Surely you... we can expect help, before long? From other noble families... ah, houses as you say."</span>
<span class="mu-s">"That would be a first, I think. They are facing the same problems we are, and no one has the people to spare."</span>
All in all things are pretty bleak, but it wouldn't be the worst situation you've dealt with in your time... were in not for that most dire detail; there's hardly anyone left. The humans you've talked with thus far may not have been exaggerating when they spoke of extinction, for as far as the overseer is aware, only some few thousands of humans are left entirely. Each of the noble houses can perhaps account for a thousand or so subjects each (give or take), and the overseer can count on two hands the houses that remain. That many humans, left alive in the world as far as anyone is aware. Worse still that the differing groups, enclaves of humans, have become insular and begrudge helping each other.
