Keltham has been told that there's a huge Nidal push, not that it's one that probably ends the war either way, but absent the push it's hard to explain conditions in the palace otherwise. Keltham asked if people dying in Nidal go to Zon-Kuthon's afterlife to be tormented even with their God sealed; was told probably in that person's guess, but all the expert clerics are out.
Keltham developed a concentrated look and requested to be left completely alone to think for 3.2 hours. He's writing notes to himself in cipher and has tapped himself with an Owl's Wisdom once, after which he spent some time crying and then continued writing. Everyone who could safely read his thoughts might as well be on the remaining moon.
