Arc

Maggie's second sponsor (ch. 14); Plaintiff #1 in the suit over the Gate, whose mother's portrait the AI gives Carl as a prize (ch. 28); the Skull Empire, sole plaintiff in the final injunction, beaten with the Valtay's help (ch. 34). The pre-built castle he made his video from is the target Carl announces for the feral god, and does not use.
