Cassandra has never been deeply devout, or intently interested in ancient history -- but every Exandrian child with any schooling knows something of the Calamity. The great centuries-long war between the Prime Deities, fighting on behalf of the mortal races, and the Betrayer Gods. Who sought to destroy, and even in their eternal prison beyond the Divine Gate still seek to dominate and punish and torment. Eternally, as they are tormented.
What Daisy describes sounds, to her, like a world in which the Betrayer Gods won.
There's a long pause before she says "I see," very quietly. "That sounds ... dreadful."
